Foil Drive Performance Propellers

Foil Drive Performance Propellers are upgraded replacement props designed for the Foil Drive electric foil-assist system. Sold as a set, they replace the standard propeller with a reshaped blade profile tuned for specific riding styles. Two variants are available: the Low Range 6 (LR6), identified by its blue color, and the Mid-High Range 10 (MHR10), finished in grey. Each propeller modifies blade geometry in a different way — the LR6 increases both width and diameter by 6%, while the MHR10 increases blade width by 10% without changing diameter — resulting in distinct thrust and speed characteristics.

• Variants: Low Range 6 (LR6), Mid-High Range 10 (MHR10)
• LR6 blade change: 6% increase in both width and diameter vs. standard propeller
• MHR10 blade change: 10% increase in width only (diameter unchanged vs. standard)
• Compatibility: Foil Drive electric assist systems
• LR6 color: Blue
• MHR10 color: Grey

The LR6 targets riders who need stronger low-end thrust. Its larger overall diameter lowers RPM requirements and delivers more grip during take-off, re-entry, and low-speed recovery. That makes it well suited to heavier riders, those foiling in choppy or disorganized conditions, and anyone using the Foil Drive in an assist-style setup where reliable surface motoring matters more than outright speed. Wave riders and downwind paddlers who want dependable thrust when transitioning onto foil will also benefit. The trade-off is a reduction in top-end speed compared to the standard or MHR10 propeller.

The MHR10 is oriented toward riders who already have confident take-off technique and want more mid-range thrust and higher top-end speed. By widening the blade without increasing diameter, it maintains efficiency while pushing more water through the mid-RPM range. The result is smoother power delivery and longer potential runtime. This propeller suits light-to-mid-weight riders, experienced e-foilers, and anyone chasing swell or bumps where sustained speed matters. The trade-off is reduced low-end thrust, so take-offs require more rider input.

The Performance Propellers sit alongside the standard Foil Drive propeller as optional upgrades within the Foil Drive accessory lineup. Foil Drive also offers a three-blade propeller option for riders seeking a different thrust profile. The LR6 and MHR10 represent the two ends of Foil Drive's two-blade performance spectrum — low-speed power versus high-speed efficiency — letting riders dial the system to match their weight, skill level, and preferred conditions. For buyers already running a Foil Drive Assist or Assist PLUS unit, choosing between the two comes down to whether take-off ease or cruising speed is the higher priority.
