SPEED HAS A NAME. MEET THE NEW EVO XI.
The technology, ideas and concepts that are created and refined during the RS:Racing development process are ultimately applied to all of the sails in the NeilPryde range. Last year’s EVOX has introduced a milestone in the history of development of racing sails. Countless victories have shown the success of this new sail technology.
At NeilPryde we live and breathe innovation, however, seeing the performance of the EVOX we were for the first time hesitant to make deep cutting changes, because why change something that outperforms already on so many levels? Therefore, we focused on tweaking and improving some minor imperfections to make this year’s EVOXI, the 18th sail of the RS:Racing Evo series, even better than its predecessor while not fully revolutionizing it.
MAST SLEEVE WINDOW
Clear window in the mast sleeve for better visibility during racing. Especially when arriving to the first buoys. This was the most required feature from our team riders to improve racing.
VISUAL TRIMMING SYSTEM
Downhaul tension guide. Max. and Min. Recommended leech release points. Located on the upper leech between battens #2 and #3.
DUAL BOOM LENGTH COMPACT CLEW
Has been slightly improved and redesigned to avoid contact of sail edge body with the boom. Outer and inner clew position straight alignment. Retains same clew height and boom to mast rake on both clew positions, reduces weight and prevents rear part of the foot touching the water when jibing.
CARBON COMPOSITE BATTENS
Carbon tubes are placed in the central section of the sail body, adding extra stability and preventing the profile from moving back. The lightness of carbon battens minimize the swing weight which increases the reflex of the leech which is something really unique in our sail.
BATCAMS
Batten tensioner system allowing precise tuning and secured positive locking without the need for tools.
LOOPSTERS
Allowing easy rigging through loop to loop system and optimized adjustable outhaul function that reduces the friction and eliminates any crossing lines (crucial when using adjustable outhaul system).
ULTRACAMS
Suspended camber system improves sail rotation and acceleration out of jibes. Simultaneous tuning of battens and cambers makes sail tunable for different mast diameters and camber pressure.
FUSE POCKETS
Overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional, separate batten pockets. This saves on unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, delivering a fully equal sail on both tacks.
KEVLAR BATTEN BRIDGES
To distribute the high downhaul load crossing the battens.
AERODYNAMIC BOOM CUTOUT CLOSURE
Prevents the apparent wind from blowing into the mast sleeve and generating drag.
BATTEN CHAFE PROTECTION
Abrasion resistant PU print to help protect the battens from damage caused by rigging or boom contact.
