YOU WANT IT ALL - GRIP COMFORT AND STIFFNESS OF A CARBON BOOM BUT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE! THE BRAND-NEW SILVER MEGA SLIM IS THE SKINNIEST ADULT ALLOY BOOM IN EXISTENCE.

With a tube diameter of 25.5mm (140 + 160 length) it’s just 0.5mm bigger than even the thinnest carbon booms out there (with the exception of our own PLATINUM booms :-) 

Unbelievable but true, the SILVER MEGA SLIM is also as stiff as most carbon booms out there. We achieve this new stiffness level by combining the stiffest 7075 alloy available which can only be bent using our PARTIAL SUBSEQUENT HEATING PROCESS with our unique OVAL TAIL SECTION and OUTSIDE FRONT- AND TAIL ARCH TUBES. 

And last but not least this all comes without any sacrifice in durability. That is why the SILVER MEGA SLIM is qualified for our unmatched 2 YEAR UNCONDITIONAL WARRANTY. 

So it’s save to say the SILVER MEGA SLIM can’t be compared to any other alloy boom but is rather challenging high end carbon booms - especially when it comes to price. 

The 140 and 160 lengths have received a completely new bend curve called NEW SCHOOL 2.0. For the first time it combines the advantages of a straight new school curve (no overstretching of the front hand) and a performance oriented curve (wider distance of the tubes in the center to avoid the sail profile from getting distorted). 

In terms of unique features the SILVER MEGA SLIM is also in a league of it‘s own featuring the iFRONT 2.0 (lightest front-end on earth) and the VTS TAIL (visually indicating the correct outhaul tension). 

Best for last all SILVER MEGA SLIM now feature an unmatched 60cm XL extension range covering an even broader range of sail sizes.

WIDE TAIL GEOMETRY

EQUAL LOAD ON BOTH HANDS AND IMPROVED HANDLING! Also the short booms now feature a 4 cm wider tail-end moving your back-hand further away from the sail. For the first time now your back- and front-hand are equally angled making sailing less fatigue. You immediately realize this much more relaxed sailing position no matter if going in a straight line or down the line on a wave. The second advantage is a much improved handling during ducking maneuvers.

2 YEAR UNCONDITIONAL WARRANTY

Light is right but only if it doesn't go to costs of durability. Durability as part of the DUOTONE quality has always been one of the defining characteristics of our products - and it stays that way. Because despite offering the lightest components on the market we hold firmly to the course of our tried and true quality claim. This is ensured by sophisticted engineering, highest quality and more effectively used raw materials combined with the latest processing technologies. The legendary DUOTONE longevity is therefore retained completely, which we guarantee for your with an industry-leading 2 YEAR UNCONDITIONAL WARRANTY!

iFRONT 2.0

THE LIGHTEST FRONT-END ON EARTH! COMBINES THE ADVANTAGES OF PREVIOUS CONCEPTS IN ONE FRONT-END:


A VERTICAL STIFFNESS: Unlike other front-ends we use 50% longer stainless steel axle-bolts which are directly connected to the side walls. Thus we obtain a maximum vertical/torsion stiffness, which results in an extremely direct connection/transmission of boom to mast (= maximum performance).


B HORIZONTAL FLEXIBILITY: The partially recessed center of the collar gives the iFRONT 2.0 a kind of hinge function, so that the collar fits to any mast diameter without any gap (= very smooth on the mast and extremely slip resistant). We know of no other front-end that fits so smoothly around the mast and thus effectively protects the mast. PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED FOR BOTH SDM AND RDM MASTS This exceptional fit is guaranteed on SDM as well as RDM masts as the iFRONT 2.0 can easily be adapted through the exchange of 2 different friction pads.

OVAL TAIL SECTION

The tail section has similar influence on the overall boom stiffness as the front section, although the influence increases the further you extend the boom length. Unlike the front section where the forces act in multiple directions, 90% of the forces on the tail section occur laterally as the main force comes from the sail pulling sideways. With the forces only occuring in one direction, the most effective geometry here is an asymmetrical oval cross section that is horizontally orientated. This makes the entire boom approx. 30% stiffer!
