Program of the Boom: Freerace
The X-CS Freerace Carbon Boom is NeilPryde's top-tier carbon boom, meticulously designed for freerace enthusiasts seeking precision and performance. This boom combines advanced materials with ergonomic design to deliver exceptional control and comfort.
Innovative Design and Materials
Constructed using monocoque carbon pre-preg technology, the X-CS Freerace Carbon Boom offers increased torsional rigidity, resulting in instantaneous control with zero lag from flexing connections. The boom features a slimmer diameter grip, measuring 26.5mm to 28.5mm, providing a comfortable and secure hold, allowing for longer sailing sessions with reduced hand fatigue.
The square profile tail end enhances stiffness and stability, ensuring a direct and responsive sailing experience. The boom's design replicates the natural shape of your palms and fingers, offering great comfort and grip strength to extend your riding sessions. This oval shape also increases the stiffness of the boom arms by enhancing torsional rigidity.
Performance Enhancements
The X-CS Freerace Carbon Boom incorporates the VT Joint, which increases the contact area between the boom attachment and the mast. This design minimizes play, reduces the chance of point loading, and allows for easy adjustment of boom height. The mast cup provides two points of contact between the cup and the mast, creating a tight connection and ensuring efficient power transmission. The V-shape accommodates variations in standard mast diameters, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
The integrated boom lever allows for easy locking and opening, designed with a reduced surface area and lighter weight. The loop-to-hook outhaul system guarantees low friction with no crossing lines, allowing for free sail movement. This system is further enhanced by high-quality Dyneema ropes, ensuring durability and smooth operation.
