€1400 VS €2400 RIG

We put it to the test: aluminum boom with a lower carbon-content mast like the K77, versus the full K100 carbon setup + carbon boom,  in the same sail. The difference? It’s real. But do you actually need it?

Let’s be clear—this isn’t about weight. We’re talking a few hundred grams. The real question is: where does that extra €1000 go, and does it feel worth it?

That price jump? It’s the cost of downsizing your sail and upping your mast game to full carbon. But think about it. Do all cyclists ride carbon frames with deep-dish carbon wheels? A proper race bike can run anywhere from €3000 to €15,000. Is it the bike, or the rider making the difference?
