PRO Ultra High Modulus Carbon mast: the dogleg
mast pro uhm ultra high modulus
Affectionately named "the dogleg" by the test team, the PRO Ultra High Modulus Carbon mast is quite a departure from the industry's more conventional masts.
Building on the performance and stiffness of our existing carbon mast programme, the PRO Ultra High Modulus boasts a 55% increase in stiffness and incredible torsional rigidity compared with our industry-standard 19 mm alloy mast. By comparison, our Power Carbon and Power Carbon High Modulus are 25% and 35% stiffer respectively.
Not just stiffer, but thinner and narrower: a 12.5 mm reduction in chord in the bottom half of the mast compared with the Power Carbon masts, and a 1.5 mm reduction in thickness, to 13.5 mm in the bottom section where it counts.
A new foil section
Another factor that sets this mast apart is its radical, unconventional foil section. Conventional sections have a tendency to become "locked in" as speed increases. Our exclusive PRO section has its widest point moved back on the mast, allowing freer turning at any speed. Our modelling predicted 20% less drag, but did not prepare us for its slippery willingness to go fast and turn like nothing we have experienced.
As the name implies, the PRO is constructed from military-grade ultra-high-modulus materials, which raise the cost of production but provide the ultimate ride. It ships in a custom high-quality protective mast bag and is completely compatible with all our products.
Three lengths
Matching the PRO Ultra High Modulus with any of your existing AXIS foils will elevate your foiling to the next level. It has wowed every team rider who has tried it, and has already proved itself in competition, delivering gold medals in downwind events in Hawaii and France.
