Racing Blade 2012… dedicated to reaching your racing goals.
The New Racing Blade has been developed to match any type of style, weight
rider,
condition. The Racing Blade delivers maximum power needed by the slalom
and speed pilot.
The Racing Blade is compatible from 6.3 to 9.5 with both Rdm and Sdm
masts.
-Racing Blades on Rdm masts are ideal for light weight riders in
competition, and for high
performance cruising… Rdm masts are perfect for a smooth & easy feeling.
-Rigged on Sdm masts, Racing Blades deliver the maximum power that serious
competitors
and mid/heavy weight races are looking for. For 2012 the Racing Blade wind
range has
increased with amazing upper end control and stability.
For 2012 legendary Blade lightness in the hands is combined with improved
balance & fuller
body profiles- boosting low-end performance.
The new Racing Blades include The Loft’s exclusive Internal Batten
Tensioner System (ITS).
This new Racing Blade feature results in a lighter, smoother, more
reactive leech. The batten
tensioners are moved forward, just behind the mast for improved rig
inertia. The ITS
combined with new reduced diameter carbon tubes, and the Racing Blade
Pentex upper
body panels results in extremely light upper rig weight for overall better
performance.
Racing Blades feature:
-Internal Kevlar strip applications that define shape profile and maintain
shape stability -
vertical and horizontal (at cams) orientation
-Blade mast pocket construction: mast panel AND pocket sides (3 elements)
tensioned
directly; equalized loading- firm, clean, easy-rotating leading edge
-Alternate side batten pocket applications with xply pockets (centered
battens)
-Stepped x-ply construction (5mil lower sections, 4mil upper sections and
mast pocket)
-Sensitip head batten system
-Neoprene closure at the boomhole with dual spiral zips
-Rdm & Sdm compatibility (sizes 6.3 and larger)
-Metallic cam interfaces
-4 Teckams- simple, functional, light, adjustable, durable
