FAQ, SABFOIL PIANTONE BLACKBIRD 85
Sabfoil designed the M85/BB mast for ambitious riders who crave maximum speed and stability, freestylers and wave riders who demand instant responsiveness, and foilers looking for the best stiffness-to-weight ratio. The 85 cm length offers excellent versatility. It balances the compactness of the 75 cm mast with the extra clearance provided by longer masts.
Both masts share the exact same profile (chords 148.4 / 131.5 / 120 mm, thicknesses 17.3 / 15.3 / 13.5 mm) and the same UHM Carbon + W-Core technology construction. The key differences are in height: the M85/BB is 850 mm (vs 750 mm) and its weight: 1790 g (vs 1665 g for the M75). The 85 cm mast provides more clearance in chop and swell.
The Piantone Blackbird mast range is available in four lengths: M75/BB (75 cm), M85/BB (85 cm, this mast), M95/BB (95 cm), and M110/BB (110 cm).
Sabfoil lists the following R8 fuselages as compatible: F603K, F653K, F663K, F703K, F713K, F753K, F903K, and F1003K. The R8 connection is fully compatible with the Kraken Modular System.
Sabfoil offers several top plates that are compatible with the Kraken Modular System: the T04K (Deep Tuttle), CP02K/Ti (Carbon Rail Plate with titanium inserts), and P02K (Rail Plate KMS). The Q02K (Titanium Quick Release System) is also compatible.
Sabfoil offers the Cover Mast C bag (reference MA023). It is explicitly compatible with the M85/BB, as well as the M93K, M94K, M95VK, M95BB, M96, and M91 masts.
