Motor Systems

Foil Drive offers a range of Motor Systems. The main two to compare are the Universal Motor System and the Integrated Mast range.

Universal Motor Systems mount externally to any mast and feature a removable cable. This allows you to change between 6 different cable lengths, altering the height of the motor on your mast. Motor heights vary allowing the rider to select an option specific to their foiling discipline or skill level. Cable lengths range from 12cm (4.7") to 70cm (27.5").

Integrated Masts feature collaborative integration with leading foiling brands. Foil Drive has worked together with multiple brands to integrate the motor cable inside the mast. This results in performance increase, drag reduction and overall improved rider feeling. for those wanting a pure foiling ride, you can't go past the Integrated Masts. Note: Motors positions are fixed and cannot be removed.
