2026 F-One STRIKE V6 QUADX Wing

2026 STRIKE V6 QUADX Wing

GOING FORWARD

Sizes: 2m / 2.5m / 3m / 3.5m / 4m / 4.5m / 5m / 5.5m / 6m

Taking performance up a notch with the Quad X construction and a focus on freestyle, the Strike V6 is perhaps the most powerful wing F-One has made yet. It’s boosty and extremely stiff, built for those overpowered front loops we all dream about.

This year, the Strike has moved further away from surf performance, so if that’s your main focus, the Swing V5 is worth a look.

What F-One has to say:

For its sixth generation, the STRIKE takes a leap forward with the introduction of the QuadX Composite, our new in-house developed laminated fabric. With this STRIKE QuadX, enjoy a clear boost in both performance and comfort while staying true to the STRIKE’s DNA: speed, upwind ability, stability, responsiveness, and efficient planing starts.

Features:

• Inflatable structure in QuadX Composite for greater lightness, reactivity, and durability
• Sweep Control Panel for ideal trailing edge tension control
• Performance and comfort across an extended wind range
• Efficient pumping and improved forward traction, even as the wind picks up
• Outstanding speed and maneuverability for freestyle and freeride

Presentation:

The entire airframe of this new STRIKE is now in QuadX Composite, whose unique mechanical properties ensure optimal deformation control, increased responsiveness, enhanced durability, and effortless handling.

The Sweep Control Panel, maintained on the leading edge, regulates trailing edge tension and reinforces the front part of the leading edge, while controlling its rearward deformation, allowing just the right amount of lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer when pumping.

On the water, the STRIKE QuadX stands out with a strikingly constant forward traction even in stronger winds, highly efficient pumping thanks to a controlled flex, an impressive wind range, and total versatility from freeride to freefly, and of course freestyle.

From the very first sessions, you feel the wing working with you, reducing strain on your arms and turning every gust into usable power. Its astounding comfort comes with the incredible performances expected from our legendary STRIKE: every bit of wind energy is harnessed, every maneuver optimized.

The STRIKE QuadX opens a new dimension of performance, where effort fades away to make room for the pure enjoyment of being on the water.

Technology:

• SAIL ENGINEERING - Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behavior while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind: Mastering the kite’s loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest time.
• QUADX COMPOSITE - At F-ONE, we have developed the QuadX Composite, a laminated fabric with outstanding mechanical properties and enhanced durability. It is built on a unique four-layer architecture featuring the “Film Inside” concept. The key difference from traditional composites lies in the positioning of the PET film: in the QuadX, it is placed at the core between two fabrics, rather than on the outside.
• HITEX - To meet the specific needs of the development of wings and kites, and to offer a high-performance and durable product without using inaccessible materials, F-ONE has developed HITEX, a new high tenacity polyester. Available in 158g, and exclusively for F-ONE in 178g, this new material is incredibly resistant to elongation and increases the durability of wings and kites. HITEX is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber with an enhanced high-quality weaving and coating that increases the fabrics’ resistance. The 178g is a new weight and perfectly matches the needs of the center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips. Used throughout the inflatable structure of the wings and kites and designed to handle the high pressures when inflating, HITEX offers performance and resistance. Thanks to extensive Sail Engineering work, the R&D team has placed each weight of HITEX in different areas allowing absolute control of the shape session after session.
• TECHNOFORCE - TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable.
• REACTOR VALVE - The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.
• SWEEP CONTROL PANEL - The Sweep Control Panel provides dynamic and precise control of the wing’s sweep angle by improving tension control. Thanks to this innovation, the trailing edge remains taut, guaranteeing stability, upwind abilities, speed and long-lasting performance overtime.
