Duotone Power.XT RDM Extension

An inspiring (r)evolution – the POWER.XT 2.0 can do much more and do it better than the previous model. And as POWER.XT 2.0 AERO RDM 36 it is also the most lightweight ratchet extension of all time!

Beyond the basic idea, the POWER.XT 2.0 has almost nothing in common with the previous model any more. From the extremely solid ratchet mechanism plus lever to the simplified release mechanism, the high-strength Lyros® Dyneema harness downhaul lines and the option to retrofit the damper function – everything has been radically upgraded. The latest version comes with a completely new adjustment ring, which offers a unique feature: based on the tried-and-tested SDM adjustment ring, the RDM version now for the first time ensures that the aluminum tube does not come into contact with the mast anymore, which avoids any contact corrosion. No other RDM extension can offer that! In order to guarantee the same durability despite the reduced diameter, a double-walled construction of 7075 aluminum outer tube and ovalized T8 inner tube is used (patent pending).

For many years, the POWER.XT has been the benchmark when it comes to extensions with trimming tools. Those who use it will never want to do without it again. Thanks to the integrated lever, it overcomes even the strongest downhaul forces, enabling perfect re-trimming or fine-tuning even when on the water. Even children could handle the extreme luff tension of modern slalom sails, each profile can be adjusted to millimetre precision in a matter of seconds. The 15 cm long lever and the ratio of 1:60 enable trimming without any noticeable effort.

TECH SPECS

TECH FEATURES

INTEGRATED RATCHET

1. ADVANTAGES WHEN SETTING UP THE SAIL:

• → Faster rigging: attach rope-loop – pull on standard-cleat – ratchet, ready!
• → Significantly less power required (power ratio approx. 1/60)
• → No need for trimming tools (e.g. “easy-rig“ or harness hook)

2. ADVANTAGES ON THE WATER:

• → Adjustments can be made even on the water, increasing as well as releasing (e.g. when the wind speed changes)
• → Increased safety
• → Sail performance and wind range are exploited to the full

2 THREAD SYSTEM POWER.XT 2.0

NOW COMPATIBLE WITH ALL SAIL BRANDS! The POWER.XT 2.0 features a stainless-steel open pulley enabling loop-loop-go rigging – the fastest and most comfortable way to rig your sail! The POWER.XT 2.0 is now the first choice even for sails with twisted tack-rollers (e.g. Loft, Naish, Severne). Yet their rope distribution has been taken into account during construction. This tack-roller orientation does not permit a loop-loop-go rigging though, means the rope needs to be threaded.

RAPID RELEASE POWER.XT 2.0

INSTANT DE-RIGGING! Due to the modified position of the standard cleat, just place one foot on the extension and pull the rope with a short jerk out of the cleat – done.

ISNAP 2.0

Based on the original SDM adjustment ring the iSNAP 2.0 offers some unique benefits: 1. The extension tube cannot come in contact with the mast anymore thus preventing any contact corrosion. No other RDM extension can do this! 2. The 2-component pins feature a synthetic head which prevents the tube from being damaged during the adjustment process. 3. The iSNAP 2.0 is the lightest adjustment system on earth. Yet the proven construction provides maximum durability.

STORAGE SLOT

AVOIDS TANGLED ROPES! All UNI.XT and POWER.XT 2.0 feature a slotted top cap. This way you can get rid of the excess rope during storage and transportation.
