The Triton X1 monofoil is a unique and redesigned foil, targeted at larger riders for both wing foiling and kite foiling. This monofoil, meaning it consists of only one wing with a built-in stabilizer, has been created with heavier riders in mind, such as those over 170 pounds. The X1 is highly maneuverable and playful, allowing for a lot of responsiveness and agility while riding. Tucker, who weighs 200 pounds, found it to be a fantastic crossover foil for both wing and kite foiling, despite its marketing primarily towards the wingfoil crowd. The X1's design allows for enhanced maneuverability in wave foiling, even in general wave conditions.
The X1 monofoil has a unique construction: it features a single-wing design without a separate stabilizer, and its wing shape includes a noticeable curve that serves as the built-in stabilizer. The foil system is newly designed, including a reinforced mast to handle the additional loads of the larger wing. The mast connection has been designed to be stiffer and includes a load dispersion plate to enhance stability and mitigate stress on the system, especially for heavier riders and in larger foiling conditions. The wing of the X1 is crafted to be extremely responsive and nimble, encouraging fluid, edge-to-edge transitions and allowing riders to make tight and controlled turns without the limitations that traditional foils may impose.
The Triton X1 is designed for a very specific type of riding and is not recommended for everyone, particularly not for beginners due to its reactive and somewhat twitchy nature. For kite foiling, the X1 is seen as an upgrade for larger riders from the Triton T1, which was considered slightly small for heavier riders. In wing foiling, the X1 excels in wave-riding scenarios, where its nimble and responsive design allows riders to surf the wave with precision. It doesn't offer the same glide or pump ability as high-aspect foils, making it less suited for connecting multiple waves or long glides, but it excels in energetic, carving, and tight turning conditions. For riders looking for this specific kind of performance, especially in wave-focused scenarios, the X1 is regarded as a compelling addition to their quiver.
