K1 Revo 40

racing kayak with more stability

Our in-house designed performance K1 model with classic V-shape hull, just a bit more stability & more rocker for youth & marathon paddlers

The K1 Revo 40 has a modern deck & a traditional hull design, but with slightly rounded center section and more rocker. It is a great choice for clubs and individals to start K1 paddling & for balance trainging. Because of the bigger cockpit size, ample rocker and maneuverability it is also highly recommended for marathon use.

In terms of both stability, maneuverability and top speed the K1 resembles the top racing K1's from the 2000's.

Features & fittings

High performance footrest with foot strap & traction pad

The footrest is the key & ultimate outfitting of your kayak. It is the main contact point between your lower body and your boat. It transfers the energy generated from your paddle strokes into the forward movement of your kayak through your foot & leg drive. So it has to be solid, reliable and personalized.

We have an advanced & customizable full footrest system adjustable in angle and depth. It is equipped with adjustable foot strap & covered with EVA traction pad for non-slip and increased comfort.

Ergo seat for optimal hip movement

    The racing seat is configurable in different heights and angle positions for paddling at your most comfortable sitting position while ensuring optimal hip movement as well.

    Alternatively the high back racing seat is for athletes looking for a better grip on the back

    Sprint rudder

      High performance rudder made of carbon with minimum drag ideal for sprint use

      A specific stainless, low profile marathon rudder against weed and impacts is also available.

      Note: rudder shaft (and rudder tube inner) diameter of our racing kayaks is 6mm.

      Bulkhead available

      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.

      Bulkheads are not installed in flat water racing kayaks as standard, but rear bulkhead can be installed on request if the boat is for club use and will be used by beginners or unstable paddlers.

      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 seat & cockpit rim 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.
