AXIS POWER CARBON HIGH MODULUS MAST 820mm
High aspect foils = higher loads on masts
During early ART foil testing, our research team quickly realized that higher aspect ratios and broader foil spans applied more bending and twisting forces to the mast. So while ART foils were a game-changer even on our existing masts, we knew there was still huge untapped potential to be realized.
And so began a whole new development project, and we couldn't be more excited at the result. With a new power profile and carefully considered material selection and placement, AXIS Power Carbon delivers both superior stiffness with next-level strength. Opting for a one-piece design, we avoided the flow/drag and jointing issues associated with multi-part mast constructions.
Testing proves that maximum loading is concentrated close to the baseplate, which is why the mast tapers thicker at this point to handle the loads. A revised fuselage connection design maximizes the size of the attachment point to achieve a perfect fit, reducing any chance of unwanted movement. The result is a positive connected feel, direct drive, immediate feedback and ultimate control.
The High Modulus Carbon fibre used in our mast layup is considerably stiffer and stronger than the regular carbon fibre used in conventional constructions, providing 35% more bend resistance than our industry-leading 19mm aluminium mast – the mast of choice for the most discerning rider seeking ultimate performance, and heavier riders using our larger span foils.
Choose your Power level
Our new masts are available in two models, the Power Carbon and Power Carbon – High Modulus, the latter providing additional strength and 35% more bend resistance than our industry-leading 19mm aluminium mast.
AXIS Power Carbon masts use a new and improved base connection design. While fully compatible with all existing Red and Black fuselages, insert the mast leading edge first into the fuselage opening, then rotate the trailing edge down (removal is done in reverse). Use only 30mm M8 bolts to attach the fuselage.
