The next generation of the most versatile foil assist system Foil Drive make.

Built on the proven Gen2.5 platform, the Assist MAX+ delivers more power, improved efficiency and smarter technology, while keeping the balanced ride that made the original Assist MAX the go-to choice for riders across every discipline.

Designed for riders who won't specialise, the Assist MAX+ gives you the balance of power, weight and runtime. Whether you're surfing, wing foiling, downwinding, wake foiling or exploring flatwater, it adapts to the way you ride without needing a discipline-specific setup.

Please note: this is the Base Kit only — no motor and no battery included.

Details

Powered by the new 43V architecture, the Assist MAX+ features increased power, enhanced Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated tilt sensor and compatibility with the new FM+ battery platform. Launching with the 650Wh FM+ battery, it delivers longer runtime and improved efficiency, with further battery options to come.

The balance hasn't changed, it has evolved. The Assist MAX+ is everything riders loved about the original Assist MAX, upgraded with the latest technology for more capable, more efficient and more versatile performance on the water.

Why a base kit?

• You're buying an integrated mast. The base kit has no motor, so you don't double up when the mast arrives with one.
• You're upgrading or adding to your fleet. If you already own batteries and motors, this adds another unit without the duplicate parts.

Expert Advice: If you already own a Gen2 MAX, be clear on one thing before you order — none of your existing batteries or chargers carry over. What does carry over is your mast, foil and, in most cases, your motor. The base kit is the right buy when you're pairing it with an integrated mast or already have motors on the shelf; if you're starting from scratch, talk to us and we'll build the full kit around how you actually ride.
