Good
This model is really easy to drive especially at low speed. The tail rocker is very high and therefore the boof is really easy. In the wave trains this model can really follow the waves very quickly
Bad
At high speed the control of the boat is a bit harder. However is easy to recover. The boat seems to be not very solid and the outfitting is not the best.

Weight Of Use
Good kayak for the beginner and intermediate paddler in rivers up to class IV. Fits kayakers from 70 to 85 kg.
Good
Easy to control. It keeps the line easly even on the side. Good lateral stability. Very stiff material.
Bad
The material is still very heavy and new (not long term tested). It feels a bit hard to turn comparing to the Recon 93 and the nose is a bit hard to lift. The shape of the sides is not suitable for the advanced kayaker that like to drive the boat with the sides. However beginners could like this feature because the boat result easy to drive.
