About Mares Avanti Quattro + Open Heel Fin
Avanti Quattro + Open Heel Fin
Mares Quattro fans listen up! Mares' development engineers have subjected the world's best-known fin to a fine tuning. The result is the ‘Avanti Quattro +’. The legend lives on…
Mares fins, such as the Quattro, Volo, and X-Stream models, stand for the highest requirements for open heel fins in diving. They are the result of continuous development and research at Mares HQ. Nevertheless, the fin development team asked themselves how could the ‘Quattro’ – a legend among fins – be improved even further? Incredible, but true – the result is the Avanti Quattro +.
CENTER OF POWER. EDGE OF PERFORMANCE
The most sold diving fin in the world now redefines itself. Greater responsiveness paired with traditional thrusting power optimizes ultimate performance. This fin can handle any and all diving conditions while leaving the others behind. Featured with Mares' new bungee strap, donning and doffing is simple and efficient.
Countless computer simulations and field tests were performed, until the Quattro + was perfected. The result is noticed immediately: The fin can be operated "more smoothly" and the enhanced energy transmission (foot-foot pocket interface) is not only noticeable, but measurable.
The legend's design has been adjusted as well, with the Quattro + available in a range of vibrant colors to customize your dive style.
When developing Channel Thrust technology, Mares dedicated itself to new forms which would allow for remarkably improved performance, meaning greater thrust with less effort. Focus was given to how water channelling could be improved and, at the same time, how the so-called ‘dead angles’ of a fin stroke could be minimised.
During the fin’s movement, only some of the displaced water is sent in the direction of movement. Unfortunately, some of it flows over the sides of the blade and does not contribute to thrust, only causing a decrease in efficiency. With the revolutionary design of Mares’ Avanti fins, the channelling of fluids is maximised and, contemporarily, a quantity of water is moved which is notably greater compared to other fins of similar dimensions.
Channel Thrust technology: Maximum thrust with minimum effort!
The Avanti Quattro + non-vented fin exceeds the established performance of the traditional model thanks to the use of composite materials Tecralene, Thermoplastic Rubber that optimize efficiency. The Avanti Quattro + provide greater responsiveness and thrusting power with an even more attractive look. New bungee straps are provided as standard issue. Straps are equipped with large grasp-loops for easy donning and doffing. Proven Channel Thrust Technology makes the fin versatile and ideal in all diving conditions.
The stabilizers improve stability and eliminating ankle twisting phenomena. The anatomical foot pocket conveys more power to the blade. Mares design is inspired by marine mammals. Channel thrust technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort. Fin is available in multiple sizes and colors. The regular size fin blade measures 15" (38cm), weighs 32 oz. (907 g) and has a blade surface area of 120.9 cubic inches (780 cubic centimeters).
