And now almost 3 decades later we have the feeling that we have finally achieved all of these goals with the latest PLATINUM SLS boom range. We consider these booms to be the final evolutionary stage in the development of carbon booms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith nearly 3 decades of Maui development and Munich engineering DUOTONE has the greatest experience in carbon booms in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new PLATINUM SLS lineup underlines this by being the most feature-packed carbon booms out there. The goal was to create the highest performing booms combined with the best ergonomics, unmatched stiffness and fastest operation. Here comes a rundown of these feature monsters:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFULL CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION \u003c\/strong\u003eWe use 100% highest-grade T800 prepreg carbon and our exclusive SENTEX® resin\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(13, 36, 43); background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);\"\u003e impregnated with silicon nano-spheres.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEGMENTED CROSS-SECTION TECHNOLOGY \u003c\/strong\u003eThis results in a quantum leap in weight \u0026gt;\u0026lt; stiffness \u0026gt;\u0026lt; durability \u0026gt;\u0026lt; grip-ergonomics\/comfort With weights between 1.85 to 3.10 kg (depending on the length) the PLATINUM SLS are the lightest booms on the market (except our own PLATINUM AERO booms :-) The secret of these super-light weights lays in the SEGMENTED CROSS-SECTION TECHNOLOGY. Instead of the usual round cross section the PLATINUM SLS feature a super sophisticated transition of different cross sections:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe SQUARE FRONT SECTION featuring a massive wall-thickness increases the stiffness by approx. 30%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe OVAL TAIL SECTION increases the lateral stiffness by another 30%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis results in the new PLATINUM SLS not just been the lightest but also stiffest booms out there. Another advantage of the OVAL TAIL SECTION is the reduced tail weight. Due to the leverage effect this has a tremendous effect on how light the PLATINUM SLS feels in your hands (= sailing weight). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGRIPPING DIAMETER: GRIP COMFORT VS. STIFFNESS \u003c\/strong\u003eWith the diameter in the gripping area you are dealing with 2 contradictory facts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thinner the diameter, the more comfortable and less tiring it is to hold on to \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thinner the diameter the softer the boom becomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enormous stiffness generated in the front and back allowed to use smaller diameters than any other boom in the gripping area. Together with the OVAL INSIDE GRIP SECTION this leads to an unmatched gripping comfort and reduced fatigue - sail longer and no more cramped fore-arms!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 CM EXTENSION RANGE ON ALL BOOMS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust 1 boom to cover all your Wave sails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust 1 boom to cover all your Freemove sails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust 2 booms covering all racing disciplines and sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISCIPLINE SPECIFIC BEND-CURVES \u003c\/strong\u003eAll our bend-curves are designed to allow your front and back arm to sit in a natural ergonomic position while sailing. This position varies with the type of sail (Wave \u0026gt;\u0026lt; Freeride \u0026gt;\u0026lt; Race) so each boom size needs to be developed accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 140 Mega Slim 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). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the 170 and 190, we use the same tried-and-tested race curves that have proven themselves in countless race victories over the last decade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eiFRONT 2.0 \u003c\/strong\u003eThe lightest moulded front-end on earth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROTECTION GRIP INSERT \u003c\/strong\u003eHigh density EVA grip inserts on the outside front arch for maximum abrasion resistance during rigging \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXTERNAL TAIL FITTINGS \u003c\/strong\u003eExternal tail fittings provide 3 main advantages compared to integrated fittings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStronger tail end.
