With a spar diameter of just under 29 millimetres, the ProLimit Team C100 leaves the competition behind and remains surprisingly stiff.

Extended to 2.40 metres and loaded with 30 kilos, it stretches just 2.1 centimetres - a value that places the fork in the middle of the test field in terms of stiffness. Thanks to the slightly oval shape, the grip area is very comfortable. The head piece is easy to fold up with a large lever and good gear ratio, comes with a removable skinny adapter, but doesn't sit quite as firmly on the mast when loaded vertically as the head pieces from Severne, AL360 or North Sails. On the plus side, rubber pads on the corners of the end piece prevent damage if the end piece drags on the ground when being carried, and the adjustment system is also beyond reproach. The roller block is simple and can be used with or without the trim system. If you can manage with a length of 2.40 metres, the smaller version even has a larger adjustment range of 60 centimetres.
