XFT hull info

[jetpilot36]

ive been searching on info on xft hulls and cant seem to find any recent info. anyone know why they went out of business? were they good flat water hulls? the info i did dig up were pretty much mixed reviews. i believe Lenzi rode this hull in competition for a while, didnt he? anyway, any info i can get would be helpful. thinking of pulling the trigger on one. I'm just looking to do flatwater. at 49lbs carbon, thats pretty light!

New one showed up from a member on here not to long ago. From what I I've gathered, they are works of art and were before their time

thanks for the reviews. anyone know why sergio stopped making em?

More steady money making other composite parts for another industry. Ski parts are an isolated market

Sergio hated fanboys...so much so he refused to have his own so as soon as he began to get a following he bounced. Plain and simple.


Just kidding...Fro hit it. I heard he left to make composite car parts....more $$.

Almost every xft ive seen looks amazing. I really wish hed come back and start making some more!

there seems to be different xft models which i didnt know about. there's a xft fly-x and a free-x. wish i knew what the difference was.

I used to have a couple XFTs. They are amazing hulls that will last a lifetime. None of mine ever had a stress crack or gel coat crack. Very Very strong!

so are there different models, or are they all the same just a different name?

Very capable hull. A good rider is the key though.

Holy freaking smokes! That dude has some mad skills!! I like the way he anticipated the nose stab on the back flip re entry @1:47.

Anyone know what drivetrain those skis were running? Looks like all I ever wanted....

There's one for sale right now in the complete ski section I've been looking at, but I couldn't find much info either and the fact that the hull is beat up is a bit of a detourant, however you guys say these hulls will last a life time? Maybe I should pull the trigger on that ski.

 

[CD155MX]

Go ride it. You may love it or you may hate it.

There are different models . The standard and the fly x. The fly x is the one that is for sale in the for sale section. Also, the end of the first video that CD155 posted has someone doing backflips and flairs. That is the same exact ski that is for sale in the fore sale section complete.

The hulls paint isnt perfect but the hull is sound as it gets! no cracks or anything.

It says Free-X / Fly-X How do we know it's the fly-x for sale? Is the one doing the back flips the same exact ski or just the same brand of hull and stuff?
Man - it's got me thinking, but the hull is 10 years old. can get a ROK or a BOB for that price. The consensus is the XFT is that awesome? I'd love to see the tray on that ski for sale.
