The Lift Foil from manufacturer Duotone with a surface area of 2400 cm² is designed to facilitate entry into the world of foiling and at the same time cover a wide range of rider weights. According to the manufacturer, its high-lift profile enables take-offs at wind speeds of less than ten knots. Once in the air, you should be able to fly through wind holes of just five to six knots with ease.
Is the Duotone Lift Foil with these characteristics made for newcomers to wingfoiling? Yes, it is! But not only. Duotone emphasises that despite its beginner-oriented profile (aspect ratio 5.1), the Lift Foil surprises with amazing speed potential and good manoeuvrability. The wingtips are also rounded to minimise the risk of injury in the event of a fall. Another advantage of the Lift Foil is its compatibility with all new Duotone Aero and Fanatic fuselages. This allows the foil to be flexibly combined with older components. Duotone relies on a robust fibreglass construction for the Lift Foil. This choice of material makes it possible to offer a high-performance foil at an attractive price. The fibreglass design should offer a good balance between durability and weight, which is also an advantage for use in schools.
To complement the Lift Foil, Duotone offers the Stabiliser C, which harmonises perfectly with the front wing. This is specially designed for easy handling characteristics. A special feature of the Stabilizer are the new thin shims, which can be used to adjust the angle of attack of the stabiliser in steps of 0.3 degrees. This enables precise fine-tuning of the set-up to adapt it to your personal riding style or the conditions on the day.
The Duotone Lift is available as a set with the Stabiliser C for 738 euros >> e.g. available here. The Duotone R&D team presents the special features of the Foil in this clip.
