I wonder how much this wing is going to cost now.

No idea what size this represents, but this says $1759 USD

Could there also be a regular Flux v2 (without the UltraX)?

Highly doubt it. It was already hard enough for them to differentiate between the flow and flux. The Aluula will make the difference between the wings more clear to the market.

Supposedly there is also a Fusion v2 Ultra X coming in Aluula. Presumably with windows for the racing rules.

Heres another site with pricing for all sizes in CHF. VERY expensive. Doesn't really say anything interesting about the wing other than Aluula frame, new luff handle, new battens, longer front handle.

Have the Flux Ultra X in production now, for the winds we get around here the 3.6m is the wing being required. Specs look amazing.

saw 2 new pictures on the Socials today. Looked stunning and "to late" at the same time (full aluula gold LE and strut).

there is going to be a normal construction flux v2

Have ordered 4.3 in ultra x and 3.6 in standard, I think 4/5 weeks wait.

looks like lots of shops have them lined online now. Anyone know if the Aluula version is coming in 6m anytime soon? or if I should just order the regular fabric?

You can order, I've ordered mine and they'll be delivered mid june

Man they do look sick
Can't wait to see some reviews of Aluula Vs standard and get a 6m for the summer

Looks like 5.5 biggest in Aluula? But a 6.0 in standard..any one confirm?

Also any details on wingspans?

No SUP valve! Not good!

.. no talks about boom either .. custom colours but no boom options

Yeah that's my only gripe
I guess Boston valves are okay?

Fone sup type valves seem the best to me...but I don't think it's a show stopper

In my opinion the Boston valves are only serviceable if you get the threaded pump adapters, otherwise they are super annoying. In addition challenges building pressure with the standard press in adapters, I also don't like the threaded closure on Boston Valves, which always seems to get mangled with sand. Once the threads are fouled you need to replace the whole valve. Valve is never going to be a dealbreaker for me, but in my opinion, Boston is probably one of the worst valve options out there.

Highly recommend this type of adapter if you need to deal with Bostons.

Personally, I prefer the Boston valves to the f one SUP valves, certainly no worse. Just keep them clean, but they fill and empty quickly.
Not bothered about a boom, as the longer front handle covers most of it.

Can't wait for mine, 2 weeks and counting the days.

I always dread when a wing has Boston valves - it is in my opinion one of the worst valves. Sticks out too far, leashes wrap round it on the water, press fit hoses often pop out or don't seal well, the threaded part fouls with sand and is easy to cross thread. Just all round a pain in the neck.

Hi, any feedback from the new flux allula v2 from demo days ..was wondering pros and cons compare to duo tone allula 2025 ? Thanks

Been riding the 3.6m as this is the only size I use in the winds we get here, it's a massive improvement over the same size Flow wing that I had all of last year, the X just eats up the gusts and trucks upwind, also flys better, the flows have this tendency to pull downwards when a gust hits, the x just stayed where I placed it and the speeds were only limited by the foil I was riding.

Only drawback is the pricing, way too expensive.

I tried the 5.5 Flux V2 in aluula. can't say bad things about it. Sturdy construction, v well balanced and more compact shape compared to the Flux V1. Only huge negative drawback is the lack of boom option. the front handle is much longer (which is a good thing) but that caused the back handle to be much farther back. It takes a bit of time to get used to it. I flew also Duotone Unit dLab and Naish ADX nvision in aluula. out of the 3, believe it or not, the Naish was my favorite. From inflation to boom feels and handling in tacks/jibes, the Naish was the top contender for me.

Any reviews of the non Aluula version please?

I don't think I can spend ?1900 GBP or $4000 AUD / $2650 USD on a wing

Our first few non Aluula demos/ stock should be arriving any day. Will be interesting to see how they fly.

First impressions of the regular FLUX V2.

Craftmanship of Ozone. Everything looks meticulous and refined. Feels high quality and sturdy.
I opted for the regulare version, so a Dacron frame. Seperate inflation of strut and LE. Plug and play (bungee-style waist leash and handles are already on the wing, you just need tot bring a pump that fits the valves).

I bought a 3.6 and 5.0. Majority of my riding is windswell / waves on North Sea where I ride upwind to the outside and try to ride the windswell/waves as long as possible coming in. So upwind angle and flag out are important features for me. I don't jump.

Conditions: 15 increasing to 20 knots.
Went out on 8'0" DW board with Sabfoil WRP975 front wing. I'm 86 kg, 40+ and enthousiastic (but not really talented).

On land the wing felt powerful and playful. Rigid and no flutter.
Starting the session with wind between 12 and 15 knots I had plenty of power to get started. No adjustment to the wing, feels natural. I was already 'warned' about a slight feeling of play in the hard handles, so wasn't surprised by that. I was surprised by the power and forward drive of the wing. To me it feels that the wing likes to go fast, and therefore would recommend foils that can go pretty fast. Flies efficient and at impressive upwind angle.
The handles are solid and have structure in them, so your fingers will glide into position. My hands were pretty forward on both handles. If I would attach a harness line I might start to attach it only to the front handle.

The wing feels very stiff and controllable. It's manouverable and playfull and cuts through the wind with ease.
It flags out decently, but this trait is one I have yet to master with this wing. The flag-out handle feels a bit long and soft whilst the wing has a slight tendency to swing while flagging out. I think it's something I need to get used to. It's better than my 'old' Cabrinha Mantis but (from what I've heard / read about) I expect that there are wings better at this (Ozone Flow or Duotone Float).

The wing delivers a lot of power. In second half ot the session wind picked up to 18-20 knots. I could have easily ridden a size smaller, maybe 2. The wing stayed very controllable, just pulled pretty hard and forward. Combined with the rigidity and hard handles I noticed some more fatigue than I expected (skippping dinner also came into play at this point).

I think the wing does what Ozone states. Fast freeride, good upwind and versatile enough for waveriding.

Two sessions on my ultra x 3.6 so far. Last one in 24 going up to a solid 35 knots.
I had V1s before which I loved and I had aluula strikes for two months as a stop gap til these arrived.
The ultra x is fantastic, super light but really solid construction which I didn't feel the strikes were. Its everything ozone says it is, massive controllable range, pumps and develops power easily, CofE is rock solid, really good upwind, handle shape feels great, zero flutter, flags great for wave riding as its so light and stable.

My 4.3 arrives in a couple of weeks.

Had now 7 days on the 3.6m, tops out in 35 knots, most of wind was around 30 knots.

?si=i_qAAp0FdYQx7hj-

im always curious how many people have actually compared a wing side by side rather than "blind" allegiance etc

FYI i have just had the 5.0m Aluula and standard Flux v2 in the garden - inflated next to my V4 Swing (my 5.5 and a mates 5m)

Some non water observations (some personal / some fact):

- Size for Size the flux is definitely bigger than the Swing - id say the 5.0m Flux v2 is the equivalent in size to my 5.5 Swing (perhaps bigger e.g 5.75)
- I much prefer the valves on the F-one compared to the Flux boston - less clunky and easier to read inflating etc (YMMV maybe)
- The Flux handles look okay - they squeak and look slightly "orthapaedic" by comparison; The F-one look-n-feel a lot better made to me (YMMV) and come in various styles (semi hard, hard and boom).
- The F-one handle attachment looks better engineered (same as Army now?).
- The Flux leash is better as it has a swivel...F-one charge extra - cmon F-one!
- The Flux leading handle (from a new wing) is not as stiff as F-one (18 mths old). See how it feels on water...but thats annoying
- The Flux canopy is more taught (i also compared a mates newish Swing V4) - with real tension in the first 3/5ths
- The std Flux tubes are bigger diameter...esp the strut and also at wing tips. The Aluula model mitigates this somewhat.
- The Flux was pumped to 7/8 and f-one to 9/10
- The Flux has more dihedral
- The Flux strut end points up (when wing lying on back) a lot more than Swing
- The Flux looks better manufactured / finished IMO - but std version maybe weighs a little heavier? The Flux inc a strip of hard wearing material on top of the LE that looks ideal, for example. Materials and craftmanship look solid.


Will see how it goes on the water at weekend - and then later hope to compare with XPS mkii in future

PS
Kinda surprises me that all the manufacturers boast of extensive R&D, yet they dont seem to have compared models side by side for 30 mins and "cherry picked" the best of breed solutions (eg in terms of leash, handles and valves)!??

PS
Point to note - obvious but will re-state it - you really need to review based on your conditions and your needs. eg if you dont wave ride then flagging handle not a big deal....but if you do wave ride a lot then its a major factor IMO. Same for wingspan - not an issue if you are 6ft...maybe if you are 5'7 etc
