DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What the pack contains
The Assist MAX+ Base Kit includes the unit in its bag, the V3 remote, the 43 V 12 A charger, titanium screw set, and a tool kit. The FM+ 650 battery offers 648 Wh at 43.2 V, with the battery and nose cone molded as a single piece, and comes with its own bag. The Standard V2 motor assembly features the Standard V2 Motor Complete (stator, rotor, hub, propeller, and a removable 20 cm cable), the Universal Motor Pod shells, a universal mast adapter, and rubber cable guides. Just add your board and your foil.
The Assist MAX+, the allround model in the range
Foil Drive introduces the Assist MAX+, the successor to the Assist MAX. This new model is rebuilt on the Fusion's 43V platform. You get approximately 20% more power and range, a tilt sensor, and improved Bluetooth, all in a compact and lightweight package. It's designed for riders under 100 kg on short to medium boards, perfect for Surf foil, downwind, wing, wake, or flat water.
FM+ 650 battery range
Foil Drive provides benchmarks based on an 85 kg rider, an 800 cm² front wing, and a 5'0 40 L board. You can expect approximately 40 to 50 minutes in surf foil for an intermediate rider and 55 to 70 minutes for an advanced rider, in 3-foot swells and less than 5 knots of wind. Charging takes about 85 minutes with the included 43 V charger. Keep in mind that these figures can vary significantly depending on rider weight, equipment, motor choice, and conditions.
Standard or High Power Motor
The Standard V2 motor is Foil Drive's entry-level motor, designed for frequent riding without needing maximum thrust. The impressive 35.5 kg thrust figures announced for the Assist MAX+ correspond to the High Power motor, which Foil Drive highlights as the configuration delivering the most take-off thrust. The High Power pack is also available in our store. The 20 cm cable positions the motor at a versatile height, and other lengths are available separately.
