Pyranha Rip-R Evo 2 F

Product detailed description

We've been designing and manufacturing innovative whitewater kayaks for more than 50 years, but 2022 brought a project that challenged us to invest the most time and energy in its testing and development to date - the Rip-R Evo 2; while our competitors were trying to match the performance of the original Rip-R Evo, we were setting the bar even higher.

This is because we recognise that success at Olympic level is the result of the perfect combination of a top athlete, the professionalism of their training and the top quality equipment they use. No one at this level of competition can rest on their laurels; not the athletes, not their coaches, not the manufacturers of the boats they race on.

Every detail of the Rip-R Evo 2 has been checked and developed. The design combines past, present and future with a unique coherence that comes from our history of winning World Cups dating back over 46 years and our ever forward-thinking approach to the sport and how our designs influence it.

The Rip-R Evo 2 F also has fins/fins that provide extra grip, especially in the returns, and are a huge advantage on the ramp, minimizing contact points for much less friction and acting as a pivot point to help you lift the toe higher and get a drier, more directional landing after takeoff.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Rip-R Evo 2 is designed and manufactured from a lightweight shell and accessories, with finely tuned and carefully shaped hull features - not intended for use above WW 3 or for paddling on low water rivers.

We tested the standard handles up to a strength of around 500 kg. While this is far beyond the strength of the plastic handles used by other manufacturers on their all-purpose whitewater kayaks, we strongly recommend upgrading to our forged, anodized aluminum handles for general use on natural rivers where you can rely heavily on the integrity of the attachment points during a rescue.
