Weight Of Use
Both steep and volume river. Good for beginners and intermediate paddlers. The 80 gallons version is good from 75 to 90 kg. The small version, a much nicer boat, is good from 60 to 75 Kg.
Good
A good boat with high performance in any water. It's fast and easy to drive even at high speed. The nose cut the water pretty well and keep the speed when landing from boof. ",
Bad
The big version (80 gallons) has a big volume in the back. This feature make the tail a bit harder to control in big volume. However, the small version (74 gallons) feels balanced. Some times the rails could give some problems in the rocky rivers. In the last few years the production got worse and the material and outfitting are now quite bad.

Weight Of Use
Good kayak for the beginner and intermediate paddler in rivers up to class IV. Fits kayakers from 70 to 85 kg.
Good
Easy to control. It keeps the line easly even on the side. Good lateral stability. Very stiff material.
Bad
The material is still very heavy and new (not long term tested). It feels a bit hard to turn comparing to the Recon 93 and the nose is a bit hard to lift. The shape of the sides is not suitable for the advanced kayaker that like to drive the boat with the sides. However beginners could like this feature because the boat result easy to drive.
