THE RICKTER TEAM HAS WORKED INTENSELY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RICKTER XFS COMPETITION HULL. THESE EFFORTS HAVE OBTAINED AMAZING RESULTS IN STRENGTH, STIFFNESS, RIGIDITY AND OVERALL WEIGHT REDUCTION. BASED ON THESE IMPROVEMENTS AND SUCCESS OF XFS COMPETITION HULL, WE CREATED INDUSTRY’S MOST COMPETITIVELY PRICED HULL BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY THE XFS CARBON CORE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE XFS CARBON CORE FIBERGLASS MODEL WILL BE GAINED BY THE USE OF THE RICKTER XFS COMPETITION HULL WHICH FEATURES A BIG AND EXTENDED PUMP CAVITY TO SUIT YOUR HIGH HORSEPOWER ENGINE AND LARGE DIAMETER PUMP.HOW IS THE WEIGHT OF THE 2017 XFS FIBERGLASS MODEL HIGHLY REDUCED? IT IS USING THE CARBON CORE TECHNOLOGY. WHAT IS CARBON CORE? CARBON CORE IS A CORE MATERIAL WHICH IS INSERTED BETWEEN THE LAYERS AND WRAPPED WITH CARBON FIBRE. IT HIGHLY INCREASE THE HULL STIFFNESS AND RIGIDITY, THIS NEW PROCESS ALLOWS RICKTER TO REDUCE THE LAYUP WHICH IS HOW THE WEIGHT REDUCTION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. ALONG WITH THE CARBON CORE AND HULL CHANGES THE XFS FIBERGLASS WILL NOW UTILIZE THE LIGHTWEIGHT SINGLE LINER HOOD FROM THE XFS COMPETITION.
