AXIS Black-Series Advance Fuselage

FAQ

What is the AXIS Black-Series Advance Fuselage?

The AXIS Black-Series Advance Fuselage is the connecting fuselage between the front and rear wings in an AXIS foil setup. It was specially developed for higher-performance foil profiles with less curvature, a different profile, and a narrower span, and it offers the appropriate stiffness and connection for these faster wings.

Which AXIS masts can I use with the Black-Series Advance Fuselage?

You can use the Black-Series Advance Fuselage directly with AXIS Foils carbon masts. For AXIS Foils aluminum masts, you also need the AXIS mast adapter, also known as the Doodad, available in 19 mm and 16 mm.

Which screw set do I need for the Black-Series Advance Fuselage?

For the assembly of the new AXIS Foils Black Fuselage, you need the AXIS stainless steel or titanium screw set. Both sets are suitable for the Black-Series as well as the S-Series 2021 and contain all the necessary Torx screws and tools.

Which front wings is the Black-Series Advance Fuselage compatible with?

The Black-Series Advance Fuselage is compatible with the HPS Wings as well as the smaller BSC Wings. Other front wings are not approved, as the connection is designed smaller. All AXIS rear wings and all AXIS masts can be combined with it.

In which sizes is the AXIS Black-Series Advance Fuselage available?

The Black-Series Advance Fuselage is available in several lengths to cover different riding styles and conditions. Basically: the longer the fuselage, the more stable and track-true the handling. The shorter the fuselage, the more agile and faster the turning behavior. You can find the exact size selection in the product variant selection.

What advantages does the Advance geometry offer compared to the normal Black Fuselage?

On the Advance version, the mast sits further forward on the fuselage. This makes turning easier and snappier, which is a major advantage especially in the wave and for surf-style wing foiling. In return, the upwind performance can suffer slightly, and the pumping technique needs to be finely tuned.

How do I properly care for and transport the Black-Series Advance Fuselage?

The new Advance Fuselage comes with a specially made fuselage protective cover, which you use for transport and storage. Rinse the fuselage with fresh water after use in salt or brackish water and dry it before packing it into the protective cover. This keeps the surface and threads protected in the long term.

For which disciplines is the AXIS Black-Series Advance Fuselage suitable?

The Black-Series Advance Fuselage is designed for demanding wing foiling, prone foiling, SUP foiling, and wake foiling. The short versions are particularly suitable for aggressive turns in the wave, longer versions for more stability at higher speeds and on long downwinders.
