The Sideon Remex is a different beast altogether. While the Ezride is for beginners and the Pulse is for freeride progression, the Remex is a performance-oriented wave and crossover sail. It’s built to handle tougher conditions, jumps, and maneuvers.
Here is the argumentaire in English:
1. Bulletproof Construction (X-Ply)
The standout feature of the Remex is the use of X-Ply (reinforced film with structural fibers).
- Maximum Durability: Unlike standard Monofilm, X-Ply is designed to withstand the "washing machine" effect of waves. If the sail gets punctured, the internal grid prevents the tear from spreading.
- Heavy-Duty Scrim: It features extra reinforcements in high-stress areas (the foot and the leech), making it the most rugged performance sail in the Sideon lineup.
2. Power and Control (The 4-Batten Layout)
Most Remex sizes use a 4-batten configuration, which changes the handling significantly:
- Drive and Low-End Power: It provides plenty of "grunt" to get you moving quickly, even in slightly underpowered conditions.
- On-Off Feel: In maneuvers or on a wave face, the sail can be neutralized (depowered) instantly, giving you better control over your board.
3. Compact Design & Maneuverability
The Remex features a shorter luff and a more compact outline compared to the Pulse.
- Handling: Because the sail is more "square" and compact, it’s much easier to flip during jibes, 360s, or when riding waves. It feels small and light in your hands.
- Versatility: While it’s a wave sail at heart, it works exceptionally well as a "Bump & Jump" sail for high-wind days on flat water or chop.
4. Stability in High Winds
Even though it’s powerful, the Remex is designed to stay stable when the wind gets "nuclear."
- Stable Center of Effort: The draft is locked forward, meaning the sail won't pull you over the front of the board when a massive gust hits.
Comparison: Pulse vs. Remex
In short: The Remex is the choice for riders who want a "do-it-all" sail that can handle the abuse of the ocean. It’s for those who aren't just sailing back and forth, but are starting to jump, carve, and play with the elements.
