Weight Of Use

Size L from 70 to 80kg - Size S from 50 to 65kg

Good

Very fast kayak and quick to turn. Easy to boof and maneuver quickly.

Bad

The only flaw I found is the low lateral stability due to the very narrow width. Occasionally I had feelings of loss of control at high speeds.

Weight Of Use

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.
