AirDrive Design was created to be the pinnacle, the one which all will follow. Daiwa has developed an innovative masterpiece allowing anglers to be in total control. Reduced weight, smooth rotation and high response allows the reel to spin freely. All of those combines elements come together to create AirDrive Design.
AirDrive Rotor
Low inertia is the key.
The newly developed AirDrive Rotor is made form Zaion Maintaining the strength of the rotor from 18 Exist, Daiwa has been able to reduce the weight significantly. Designed with focus to create a perfectly round structure, trouble free and flawless rotation have been achieved.
The rotor unit itself has seen a 16% weight reduction compared to the previous model (based on the 2500 size reel) and will set the standard for what future rotor design of small spinning reels will be.
AirDrive Bail
Trouble free future.
Daiwa has constructed a bail smaller in diameter whilst providing required strength to achieve a further weight reduction to the front units. In comparison to 18 Exist, AirDrive Bail reduces the weight of the bail by 33% (compared to 2500 size).
Daiwa has adjusted the angle of bail setting to improve the line movement into the roller. Careful attention was given to the roller and slider and individual design alterations were done for each size of 22 Exist, perfectly adjusting the line management of reach size of the reel.
AirDrive Spool
Design reflects the future.
The stand out features of the AirDrive Spool would have to be the newly shaped spool skirt and the simple single silver coloured cosmetic. Just by looking at the the spool it is clear the structure has been redeveloped, reducing the weight and maximizing the feeling of presence.
Reducing the spool weight creates many benefits for a reel; the total weight of reel is reduced, oscillation is improved, less resistance during winding and rotation, better balance when attached to the rod and of course the reel feels light and easy to fish.
AirDrive Shaft
Friction Free Rotation
AirDrive Shaft has a non contact structure between the mainshaft and the pinion gear. In addition to this, both ends of pinion gear are now supported with bearings to relay the crank power from the handle to the rotor with a higher level of efficiency. By adding high quality collars to the mainshaft, rotational noise has been reduced significantly.
AirDrive Shaft creates the feel of smooth, quiet rotation and provides anglers with torque and power.
