Why riders choose it
- The Foil Drive External Antenna allows you to place a secondary antenna on the top surface of your board for increased signal strength and connection with Gen2 Assist MAX and Assist Slim systems.
- All Antennas are supplied with Foam to increase your Nose Cone height by 2mm.
- The Patent Pending signal attenuation technology has been developed alongside a highly specialist team of international engineers that create wireless communications systems for nuclear power plant operations. This is not just a piece of wire and a standard patch antenna off the shelf.
- This accessory is primarily built for use with boards that feature full carbon foil tracks laminated into a full carbon board. The standard built-in antenna within the Foil Drive Gen2 is perfect for most applications, however carbon tracks and some carbon layups do increase the difficulty of the signal transmitting through the board reliably.
- The External Antenna is a thin 2mm plate installed between the electronics box and the board with a thin cable. The cable is available in either 130cm or 180cm and runs along the bottom of the board to a small antenna pad mounted on the top of the board. The antenna is totally passive and does not require power or link to the Foil Drive electronics box.
- The External Antenna is not compatible with the Foil Drive Gen1 Assist or Assist PLUS.
