Weight Of Use

75-85 kg

Good

This canoe is very easy to maneuver and turn, especially at low speeds. Even without significant boofing, the tip rocker tends to overwhelm everything. Its linear speed is on par with all current fast canoes. It's definitely a good choice for waterfalls. The very wide cockpit at knee height makes getting in and out of the canoe very comfortable.

Bad

The only negative I've experienced, accustomed to the Phoenix, is the lack of tail grip during turns; if you want to change direction at speed, the tail tends to drift, making the maneuver slow. Boofing is also limited due to the considerable length and surface area of ​​the tail, but it certainly can't be said that the canoe doesn't boof well. The cockpit and the volume around the knees are decidedly large, and the spray skirt is quite exposed to impact with the paddle shaft (which could shorten the life of the spray skirt).

Weight Of Use

This kayak is suitable for beginners and advaced paddlers who prefer medium-volume rivers. The XT 300 has the right volume for people from 70 to 90Kg. The 260 version is up to 70kg.

Good

Very easy kayak and quite stable. Good for medium-high volume rivers. The beginners will found in this kayak stability and a good help to learn.

Bad

The plastic is quite flexible reducing the performace. In steep and rocky rivers the rails can give some problem to drive the boat.
