Good

Very balanced boat. The high nose allows good boof and the speed is impressive. Easy to drive.

Bad

The weight of the kayak is for sure the biggest problem. The rails also can be hard on rocky creeks.

Paddler weight range

model 7.6 from 50 to 60kg,
model 8.1 from 65 to 75 kg,
model 8.6 from 75 to 85 kg.

Good

The mamba is an easy boat to start with. It's indicated for river under class IV. It could be considered a easy boat to start with since it's stable and quite easy to direct.

Bad

The low profile nose, associated with the general low volume, do not permit hard creeking and doesn't help in difficult water. The hull is slow but stable and easy to direct. The design is quite old and there are more performing boat on market now.
