AXIS Tempo Front Wing

Ultra high aspect carbon wing for downwind and racing

AXIS Tempo is an ultra high aspect carbon front wing for users who want maximum speed, glide and efficiency in downwind riding, racing disciplines and demanding foiling. It represents a completely new generation of foil wings with an aspect ratio of up to around 16, combining Ultra High Modulus carbon with the revolutionary Ti Link titanium system.

Tempo is not a simple upgrade of existing wings – it is a completely new approach to foil design. AXIS developed Tempo from the ground up together with the innovative Ti Link titanium fuselage, which provides exceptional stiffness and direct energy transfer between the user and the foil. The combination of ultra high aspect ratio and reduced surface area allows for lower drag, higher speed and longer glide sequences.

Despite its demanding specifications, Tempo is surprisingly accessible. Smaller surface areas do not automatically mean difficult handling – Tempo offers stability and predictability appreciated by both advanced users and those progressing to the next level. The Tempo front wing dominated the Hawaiian downwind season in 2025 and set new standards in the discipline.

Long downwind lines without losing speed. Explosive acceleration out of every bump. Racing performance without compromise. AXIS Tempo is the front wing for those who want to fly faster, further and more efficiently.

Who is the AXIS Tempo front wing for?

AXIS Tempo front wing is designed for foil enthusiasts who want maximum performance and are ready to invest in the very best equipment.

We recommend it for:

• downwind foilers looking for long downwind runs
• wing and parawing foilers who want maximum speed and efficiency
• users foiling in light wind and looking for exceptional glide
• those progressing from the ART PRO or Fireball series and looking for the next level
• users who value top-level stiffness and direct response

Comparison: Tempo vs Fireball vs ART PRO

AXIS Tempo sits at the very top of the AXIS range as the ultimate racing and downwind wing. Tempo (AR ~16) is recommended for maximum speed, glide and racing disciplines – it is the fastest AXIS front wing to date. Fireball (AR ~13) is recommended for an excellent balance of speed and accessibility, ideal for advanced downwinding and pumping. ART PRO (AR ~12) remains a premium choice for users who want a high aspect ratio with slightly more surface area and a more approachable feel.

Key advantages of the AXIS Tempo front wing

Maximum speed and glide
The ultra high aspect ratio (~16) delivers the lowest drag and the longest glide in the AXIS line. Tempo is the fastest AXIS wing to date.

Revolutionary Ti Link system
Tempo was designed together with the Ti Link titanium fuselage, which provides exceptional stiffness and direct energy transfer. Every user input is transmitted instantly to the wing.

Ultra High Modulus carbon
The Ultra High Modulus carbon construction delivers maximum stiffness at minimal weight. The wing remains rigid even at the highest speeds and under load.

Surprisingly accessible
Despite its racing specifications, Tempo offers predictable behavior and stability that can also be appreciated by users progressing into higher-performance foiling.

Race-proven performance
The Tempo front wing dominated the Hawaiian downwind season in 2025 and proved its performance in the most demanding conditions.

Modular compatibility
Tempo works with existing AXIS Aluminium, Power Carbon and Ultra Pro masts. The Ti Link system also allows pairing with Skinny Link rear wings for an optimal setup.

Technology

AXIS Tempo is built on a completely new platform designed for ultra high aspect wings. The key innovation is the Ti Link system – a titanium fuselage made from aerospace-grade titanium, delivering a level of stiffness and precision that aluminum versions cannot match.

The Ultra High Modulus carbon construction provides an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. Thin profiles with very high aspect ratios require maximum rigidity for efficient energy transfer from tip to tip – Tempo delivers exactly that without compromise.

The Ti Link system is very easy to assemble and provides absolute stiffness in use. The result is a system that transfers every rider input directly into wing performance – no flex, no losses, no compromises.

Why choose AXIS?

AXIS is a New Zealand brand that helped shape the category of modular foil systems and continues to set the standard in high aspect wing development. Tempo represents the peak of AXIS engineering – a wing built for racers and the most demanding users.

The AXIS approach is based on modularity – one system that grows with the user. The same masts, fuselages and components can be combined with different wings depending on the discipline and conditions. Tempo is no exception – it is fully integrated into the AXIS ecosystem.

For users looking for ultimate racing performance without compromise, AXIS Tempo is the logical choice.
