hi guys, I'm a freeride foiler in the UAE where we have light wind conditions most of the year (6-12kts). I am currently on a TKF manta with freerace wing and a carbon board which is great but now I'm looking for something a little faster and lighter. Like I mentioned I do mostly freeride with some jumping but have also started to race on our local circuit. That being said I've narrowed down my choices to either a Banga foil, alpinefoil 5.0 full carbon with sport wing or the levitaz bionic. I'm leaning toward the Alpine foil because it looks like it will give me the speed I want to give the other guys a good run for their money but still be able to carve, jump and freeride like I currently do with different wings. Banga looks like it is good and fast but might be too "dialed" and perhaps fragile for jumping, same with the Levitaz. Any advise or suggestions? I'll be mounting whichever one I choose on a Temavento board
Levitaz is amazing (and modular) and I'm sure you'll be happy with it but the bionic is a hardcore race setup, and not to mention that bionic rear wing is very fragile. My customers tell me the Bionic is hugely pitch sensitive and had work to ride fast - I'm not sure how well it would translate to freeriding. Maybe the Aspect rear wing is a better combo with the new front wing...
Have a look at the moses range.

You could have 2 sets of wings and the 100 mast. This would have you covered for race and free ride at a great price.
I can answer any questions you have
Cheers
