E_PACE SLS & E_PACE 2024
FREERIDE PERFORMANCE UNLEASHED
When it comes to freeride equipment, you want a sail that combines performance, durability, and versatility. Introducing the E_PACE and E_PACE SLS where performance, durability, versatility and also ease of use are at the center of what these products embody. The E_PACE has been solidly at the center of our freeride range for many years, but in striving to always bring you better products, E_PACE SLS was released in 2023. It is important to note that the E_PACE SLS is not merely the E_PACE but in a different construction, but actually a completely different sail. The development of the E_PACE SLS started from a blank canvas and took more than one and a half years of development. From luff curve to profile distribution, draft location and twist pattern, there are some big differences between the E_PACE and E_PACE SLS so let’s dive into it.

E_PACE SLS: Take Your Riding to the Next Level
The E_PACE SLS is the epitome of speed and agility, born from nearly two years of intensive development. It boasts a racy feel similar to the S_PACE or WARP_FIN, yet remains stable with an open leech design. Utilizing advanced materials like CARBON XPLY and a strategic panel layout, it maximizes wind energy conversion without sacrificing control. With a weight reduction of 500g, it's the lightest no-cam freerace sail on the market. However, its increased pre-shaping demands higher outhaul tension and a more active jibing technique. The E_PACE SLS guarantees unparalleled performance backed by a 5-year warranty, setting a new standard in freerace sailing.
