Paddler weight range

Version M 75 -90 kg

Good

Easy boat for hard and easy rivers. Very good lateral stability in every situation. Easy to boof and control at medium-low speed.

Bad

The speed is the biggest problem of this boat. It is slow and if it get speed, it's hard to keep it straight. In big volumes the huge volume in the nose could be hard to control.

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.
