Good

A very fast and quite maneuverable boat. Designed for competitions.

Bad

Stability is a major issue with this canoe. It's completely lacking in primary and secondary stability. The length of the tail rocker also makes boofing a bit more difficult.

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.
