In the quest for new horizons in mastering e-foil riding, many athletes opt for lighter and more compact models. This choice is well justified, as reducing the size and weight of the foil significantly enhances its maneuverability and opens new opportunities for experimentation.
The Flite ULTRA L2 is the world's lightest e-foil. Fully assembled with the Nano battery, it weighs only 18 kg and has a volume of 49 liters. Clearly, this model is not intended for beginners or even intermediate athletes. It is specifically designed for true professionals aiming for sharper turns, tighter curves, and new doses of adrenaline.
The Flite ULTRA L2 is the latest model, recently introduced by Flite after extensive development and numerous tests with experienced riders. This innovative model is now available for purchase and can be ordered directly from our online store in EU. You can select the necessary configuration and place your order right on our website.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
Flite offers extensive customization options for its e-foils, allowing riders to choose various masts, wings, drives, battery packs, and even controllers. The Ultra L2 model is no exception. It offers two different masts, each with its own unique wing and drive options. This approach allows every rider to fine-tune the e-foil to their personal preferences and riding style.
MN Carbon Wave 82cm
The MN Carbon Wave 82cm mast is designed specifically for experienced riders looking to conquer the waves. With a 46 mm fuselage, it supports the most compact and low-resistance drive system on the market - the Folding Prop. This unique propeller folds when the throttle is released, significantly improving the hydrodynamics of the design and reducing water resistance.
Thanks to this feature, the MN Carbon Wave 82cm mast becomes an ideal choice for wave riding, offering maximum maneuverability and speed.
Drive System
For the MN Carbon Wave 82 cm mast, the only available drive system is the Folding Prop. This system is especially suitable for wave surfing enthusiasts thanks to the unique design of the propeller, which can fold. The folding of the propeller blades occurs automatically when the thrust is reduced by releasing the throttle. This function significantly reduces water resistance, providing better speed characteristics and board maneuverability, especially when moving by wave energy.
Wing sets
The MN Carbon Wave 82 cm mast offers 8 underwater wings, each influencing the board's performance. Larger wings provide more stability and a smoother ride, while smaller wings enable sharper maneuvers.
Below is a list of available wings and their descriptions from Flite:
- Cruiser Jet 1500 C + 300 C - Provides stable and efficient riding thanks to a conical interface with low resistance. Ideal for calm and long water rides.
- Wave 850 C + 245 C - A small, advanced wing perfect for lightweight riders. Offers extra speed and maneuverability, making it ideal for wave riding.
- Flow 900 C + 245 C - The fastest wing with low resistance, designed for big waves and high speeds. Perfect for experienced riders seeking adrenaline.
- MN 1300 C + 245 C - Great for agile turns and fast gliding. Equipped with a conical interface with low resistance, providing easy handling.
- Flow 1100 C + 245 C - A versatile wing for wave riding and more. Suitable for various conditions and riding styles.
- Flow S 1100 C + 245 C - A conical wing allowing slow riding on the Fliteboard with sharp acceleration capability. Ideal for smooth and controlled riding.
- Flow S 1300 C + 245 C - Perfect for catching waves, slow riding, and making sharp turns. A low-resistance wing with a conical interface, offering excellent maneuverability.
- Wave 1000 C + 245 C - A universal wing for wave riding. Suitable for all skill levels and various riding styles.
MN Carbon 82cm
The MN Carbon 82cm mast is suitable for all conditions, preferences, and riding levels. Unlike other models, it offers three different drive systems: the classic Prop, MN Jet waterjet, and the free-rotating True Glide propeller. This versatility allows you to choose the optimal setup for specific conditions: True Glide for wave riding, MN Jet for smooth and safe rides, and the classic Prop if the waterjet doesn’t suit your needs.
Drive System
For the MN Carbon 82cm, three drive systems are available, which you can choose based on your preferences. You can also purchase multiple drives that are easily interchangeable on-site. Here are brief descriptions of these systems from Flite:
- Prop - This drive offers an optimal balance of efficiency and thrust. Flite Prop is perfect for mastering your eFoil before moving on to using True Glide or Folding Prop.
- MN Jet - The new MN Jet waterjet drive system offers a smooth ride and safety due to all moving parts being inside the housing.
- True Glide - Ideal for wave riding with and without a motor. The propeller freely rotates when you release the throttle, reducing resistance and increasing speed when powered by wave energy.
Wing sets
The MN Carbon Wave 82 cm mast offers 6 underwater wings, each affecting the board’s performance. Larger wings provide more stability and smoother riding, while smaller wings allow sharper maneuvers. Depending on the chosen drive system, the number of available wings varies: all 6 options are available for True Glide, 5 wings for Prop, and only 2 for MN Jet.

CLASSIC OR ADVANCED CONTROLLER?
The original FLITE controller, awarded for ergonomics and ease of use, or the advanced MN FLITE Controller with a color screen, animations, and sapphire coating for durability.
The original FLITE controller offers intuitive control and real-time performance display, making it ideal for all conditions and riding levels. It has been highly praised for its ergonomic design, providing comfort during extended use.
On the other hand, the MN FLITE Controller takes control to a new level with its bright color interface and animations, making interaction more engaging and visual. It features a sapphire screen for exceptional durability and scratch resistance. This controller also offers new features, such as Wave Mode, allowing you to track wave riding in real time with the ability to compete with other users through the Flite App.
The MN FLITE Controller also supports wireless charging, making the charging process simple and convenient, and its ergonomic shape ensures more natural handling and comfort during use.
Thus, choosing between the original FLITE controller and the MN FLITE Controller gives you either a proven and reliable control tool or an innovative and more functional option for those who want to get the most out of their riding experience.
CONCLUSION
Flite engineers have done an excellent job creating the Ultra L2 model with outstanding characteristics that open up many possibilities for professionals in hydrofoiling. However, this model is difficult to recommend to beginners or hobbyists, as some compromises had to be made to achieve high performance, such as the inability to install the Explore battery, which provides up to 150 minutes of operation.
However, if you are a professional in hydrofoiling or an experienced rider looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible, the Ultra L2 will be the perfect choice!
