K2 Evo 130

For light weight crews

A popular low volume club boat, purpose built with the smaller paddlers in mind

This low volume K2 model has a classic V-shaped hull with minimum rocker. To let the shorter ones paddle with comfort the boat has low deck height and narrow cockpits. The Evo E130 has truly stood the test of time and has remained a firm favourite model among many clubs for youth crews, usually between the ages of 13 - 16.

Features & fittings

Seat

    All kayaks are equipped with low back racing seat with traditional design as standard - the most popular seat shape in the market.

    Alternatives are:

    • Low position seat reducing seat height by 1 cm giving more stability for the athlete,
    • High-back seat for athletes looking for a better grip on the back,
    • Rotofix seat aims to assist hip movement and giving a good grip & comfort at the same time,
    • Rotoseat is for training to improve hip and leg movement.

    All racing seat is fixed to the same platform rails installed in the kayak so they are convertible with each other.

    Footrest and foot strap

      Kayaks are equipped with simple yet reliable footrests with easy-to-adjust spring sliding system. The fixing frame & fittings of the footrest are positioned behind the footplate, so the full width of the boat is available for your feet. This provides comfort & full use of the tiller bar for effective steering. It is also perfect for club use to regularly adjust the footrest distance.

      Reaching under the footrest you can find two thumb nuts at the bottom of the fixing frame - they are to secure the footrest position. Don't forget to realease them before adjusting the footrest distance by the spring slider.

      The footplate is covered with EVA traction pad for non-slip and increased comfort, and equipped with adjustable foot strap.

      Narrow footrest with fixed angle footplate is equipped as standard but full footrest with adjustable angle footplate is available for maximum leg drive & customisation.

      However our spring sliding footrest system provides high adjustability, please let us know if the boat is for a much shorter or taller paddler (approx. under 170 cm or over 185 cm). Then the complete footrest system will be moved more forward or backward during the construction of the kayak. It may be also important for us to know if the boat is for 13-16 year old paddlers stil in growth spurt.

      Rudder

        The kayak is equipped with a high performance plastic race rudder as standard. It provivides excellent tracking with minimum drag and turbulance. These unbalanced & thin rudders have a low blade surface and 6 mm rudder shaft.

        Choosing a durable stainless rudder may be a good option for marathon paddlers or for summer trainings in still water. It is less prone to impact damages during portages or caused by woody debris, not to mention that it also minimises the unpleasant weed pick-up.

        Available bulkhead(s)

        NO bulkheads are installed in flat water racing kayaks as standard. However rear, front or both bulkheads can be installed on request if the boat will be used by paddlers under the age of 14-15, beginners or unstable paddlers.

        A bulkhead (partition) is an upright wall within boat separating watertight compartments so that the capsized boat does not sink. A hatch is placed in the rear bulkhead, mainly to let the rear compartment to dry when not in use and to ventilate the stored boat.

        CONSTRUCTIONS
        To let us meet the preferences of a wide range of paddlers we offer multiple constructions to choose from. These constructions are set up in line with the requirements of each segment of the flatwater racing market - from youth paddlers to top-ranking athletes, from local clubs to federations - while providing the most favourable quality and price conditions for that specific group of users.

        More about constructions

        Constructions differ in the materials and technologies used during the manufacturing process. These determine the stiffness and the interior appearance of the boat. In practice, an upper construction results a stiffer & more eye-catching boat.

        Besides, the standard and available fittings may be also different in some constructions. These are listed at the "Fittings" section of this article.

        Tips & more about the available colours


        Think carefully about choosing black and dark colours!

        Such boats warm up more & they become matt very soon. Scratches and limescale are also much more visible on these surfaces.

        Less is more:

        We recommend picking only two, maximum three colours for a coherent boat design.

        More is more:

        (Because of the overlapping gelcoat layers) more colours results in more weight.


        Availability of clear (transparent) surfaces:

        Clear carbon seats & cockpit rims are available in EXTRA & ULTRA constructions.

        Clear carbon hull and/or deck (parts) are available in EXTRA & ULTRA constructions.
        (Bow & stern of the clear carbon boat are black gradient)

        Clear carbon-kevlar hull is available in SUPER construction.
        (Bow & stern of the clear carbon-kevlar boat hulls are colored)


        RAL colors CANNOT be displayed entirely proper on computer screens. The color depends on your monitor and printer. Therefore the exact shade of the product may be different than seen here! Please use these color samples as a reference only! We recommend you to see a physical and official RAL color guide to be sure of the correct color.
