It’s a catch 22, more run time means more batteries and more weight attached to you. When I did a demo of the Duotone the weight on my waist was annoying but I guess you would get used to it.

I initially thought the Duotone would be great for flat water pump training but the belt bounced a bit while pumping and your legs still fatigued as quick due to the extra weight. I decided on the Foildrive Slim for that purpose.





I started on the FD Plus kit and progressed to the Gen 2 but never really enjoyed the loss of feels that you get having an aluminium box and battery jammed between the most important connection, also the weight on the board was a killer, I ended up using the slim kit which was better but this waist system is another level of performance.

I am just running a modified waist system at the moment so looking forward to some reviews.








Wow, your board is so thick, no wonder you didn’t want to add a Gen 2 Max between the mast plate and board. My board is 12mm thick in that location, gives excellent feel and probably less distance than most boards without a Foildrive fitted.




Plenty of prone guys have tried and are VERY good riders and they all felt the difference, if you like all that weight on your board thats cool, this is a conversation about something different not whats better.

Anyone know what type/brand/size cells the Manta Air uses(ie. Molicell 21700, Samsung 18650, etc)?
