⚠️ Essential Update Required
This update is mandatory for all riders using Foil Drive systems. It reprograms the power modes and introduces key improvements to performance and system protection.
Affected systems include:
- Foil Drive Fusion (critical update)
- Foil Drive MAX
- Foil Drive Slim
- V3 Controller
To update your system:
- Download or update the Foil Drive App (latest version required)
- Connect your system
- Follow the on-screen configuration steps
This is now the first step of setting up any Foil Drive kit, whether new or existing.
Why This Update Matters
This isn’t just a routine update – it introduces meaningful improvements that directly affect your ride experience and equipment longevity.
🔒 Over-Rev Protection (New)
A rev limiter has been introduced to prevent the motor from over-revving when out of the water.
- Limits RPM to approximately 4200–4300 (no load)
- Reduces risk of motor damage
- No loss of thrust or performance
This is especially important for protecting your investment and extending the life of your system.
⚡ Improved Ride Feel & Efficiency
The updated motor profiles deliver:
- Smoother power delivery
- Improved efficiency
- Reduced “bucking bronco” effect when surface riding
This results in a much more controlled and enjoyable foiling experience.
Foil Drive Fusion – New Features
🔋 Battery Power ON/OFF via App
You can now turn your battery ON or OFF directly through the app.
This is ideal for:
- Trench board riders
- Reducing unnecessary battery drain
- Preparing your setup in advance
Pro tip: Set your system up the night before, turn the battery OFF, and switch it back ON just before your session.
🎯 Advanced Tilt Sensor Control
You can now fine-tune your ride by adjusting:
- Pitch sensitivity
- Roll sensitivity
This allows you to customise the system to your riding style and conditions.
V3 Controller Improvements
- Faster long button press response
- Improved GPS data accuracy
- Enhanced proportional trigger in gear mode
- Better cruise control functionality
These updates make the controller more responsive and intuitive on the water.
New Propellers Launching Soon
This update is also important ahead of the new Foil Drive propeller launch (9th April).
If you’re planning to upgrade or buy new propellers, make sure your system is fully updated to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
