Description
Edgeforce Board Rack Pair - Titanium Grey
EdgeForce was meant to blend in, not stand out. It offers a refined experience. Smooth and dependable, it is a tangibly superior product. It is delightful to use, and intuitive even to the youngest of users.
Edge clamping is a surefire way to secure your boards, but this method has long since been plagued with ergonomic shortcomings. This is the first design that can compete ergonomically with a face clamp design. This means we've solved three core issues. The first is that of a long reach. EdgeForce grips the edge of the board, but the user does not need to reach the edge of the board. This is perfect for all users, especially kiddos. The second historical issue is strength. Minimal strength is required to operate EdgeForce. As a contrasting example, there is no bungee cord that the user has to pull to the edge of the board. For years, this has been an issue for most racks. The third issue is associated with swiveling the rack inward. All of the loading and unloading of boards can easily be done when EdgeForce is in its exterior position. This completely avoids issues of interfering with those in the boat. The last thing you want is to ask your neighbor to duck their head every time you have to take a board out. In the end, we have addressed all three of those issues with Edgeforce.
The vision of the water is key, and that was another key design point with EdgeForce. The last thing we want to do is restrict vision. The angle of the board rack ensures maximum visibility and more views of the water. Another common critique of racks on the market is vibration and rattle. Whether empty or fully loaded, Edgeforce has no vibration and no rattle. All of this represents PTM build quality - the build quality and service you've come to love over the decades.
On the surface, EdgeForce is bold and beautiful. Under the hood, you'll find precise engineering. This level of mechanical and industrial design is necessary to maintain the performance standard found elsewhere throughout your boat. From the start, we knew this meant fine components. We built with a core of aerospace-grade billet aluminum and integrated luxurious soft grip and padding throughout. Nothing afterthought, nothing slapped on. We also knew that this meant no bungees, which serve well for the entry-level market but have no place in the middle or upper product tiers.
PTM's proprietary, bright anodized finish comes standard. There is not a finish more laboratory tested or more proven in the field. As another option, you can select a powder coat finish. Powdercoat gives us the opportunity to match directly to the gel coat or to the tower itself.
