The LCS Folding Glide Propeller is built on Lift's 2026 folding propeller redesign, a reshaped collapse and reinforcement at the highest-stress points. On that foundation, the Glide runs its own blade geometry, sized and pitched for efficiency and glide. Blades measure 1.25 inches at the widest section, the narrowest profile in Lift's folding line, with 5.6 inches of pitch on a 6 inch diameter. The profile folds flat against the hub the moment the motor cuts. It ships standard on every 55mm propulsion and runs on any 68mm motor with the LCS Base Plate and LCS Tail Cone installed. Construction is aluminum with stainless steel inserts.

LCS Propeller Installation Guide
⚠️ IMPORTANT: It is critical all eFoil equipment is turned off and the battery is disconnected before working with or around the motor or propellers.
The propeller you need depends on your motor size. Measure the diameter of the circular motor face — the end of your propulsion unit — and match it below.
Remove your existing propeller if installed. Using a ruler or calipers, measure straight across the circular end of the motor housing. Match your result to the options below.

Select your motor size above — here’s exactly what ships to you.
Both propellers fit 55mm and 68mm motors. The difference is in the ride.
Best for advanced riders focused on surf performance, wave glide, and battery efficiency. May not suit heavier riders wanting more drive off the line.
Best for heavier riders, those wanting maximum drive off the line, and eFoil surfers who want stronger power and higher speed under throttle.
Two folding props. The difference is blade size. The Glide runs 1.25 inch blades, the narrowest of the two. This means it draws less from the battery at cruise and folds to a narrower profile off power, for more glide. The Power runs 1.8 inch blades, the widest of the two, for more thrust at takeoff and more speed under power. Both fold flat when the motor cuts. Choose on your motor size and rider weight.
LIFT5/LIFT5 F run the 68mm motor stock, and will need the kit.
LIFTX runs the 55mm motor stock and can buy the folding prop without the kit.
Your LIFTX runs a 55mm motor and ships with the Glide installed in 2026. If you bought last year, this year's Glide propeller has an improved construction and hydrodynamics. For most LIFTX riders that is the prop to keep. The 55mm platform is built for wave and surf, where the Glide's lower draw and clean off-power glide do the most work. Heavier riders who want more thrust at takeoff, or riders who want more top speed, can run the Power. On a 55mm motor, the Power installs as the propeller only. No kit needed.
Most LIFT5 packages run a 68mm motor. On a 68mm motor, either folding prop installs with the LCS Base Plate and LCS Tail Cone, included in the kit. Most LIFT5 riders will want the Power. The larger board and the higher rider weights it carries take more thrust to get on foil, and the 1.8 inch blade drives the takeoff. Lighter riders, around 185 pounds and under, who want more glide off power and lower draw at cruise can run the Glide on the same kit. (If your LIFT5 runs a 55mm motor, follow the LIFTX answer above.)
Motor size decides. A 55mm motor takes either folding prop directly, propeller only. A 68mm motor needs the LCS Base Plate and LCS Tail Cone to run a folding prop. If you have a 68mm motor the Power & Glide both have the option to order as a kit with both parts included.
Neither yet. A folding propeller assumes you are already confident on foil. While you are learning, a fixed propeller or the jet is the better setup. Come back to the folding props once you are riding off power.
