The Foil Drive MAX+ Gen 2.5 reinvents the most popular foil assistance system on the market.
By combining the compact design of the classic MAX with the Fusion’s 43V high-voltage electronic architecture, the MAX+ delivers 20% to 27% more power and thrust, whilst maintaining a pure, light gliding sensation.
Whether you’re into wing foiling, surf foiling, downwind, SUP foiling or e-foiling, the MAX+ stands out as the ideal, no-compromise ‘all-rounder’ solution.

Why choose the Foil Drive MAX+ Gen 2.5?
1. A “Mini Fusion” in the body of a MAX
The MAX+ Gen 2.5 is nicknamed the “Mini Fusion”. It incorporates the best technological advances from the top-of-the-range Fusion model whilst retaining the compact size and versatility of the MAX. It’s the ultimate tool for reducing the size of your foils and boards whilst maintaining lightning-fast planing performance.
2. A scalable investment
Thanks to the universal FM+ 650 battery, you’re investing in an open ecosystem. The battery works just as well on the MAX+ as it does on the Fusion (with the FM+ adapter). You can easily swap batteries with friends or upgrade your kit at any time.
3. Easy Maintenance and Repair
Foil Drive has designed the 2.5 generation around component independence. If a battery is damaged, there is no longer any need to replace the entire system: the battery is a standalone component that is easily interchangeable and repairable.
