The Loki R is truly a revolution in touring kayak design. The design concept behind
this kayak was to embrace technology in order to create a very stable, fast and
maneuverable kayak that inspires confidence in all conditions. The R, at 39 lbs, is the
lightest and strongest touring kayak on the market today. The unique hull shape
provides speed not found in such a stable kayak. The R is often mistakenly placed in
the fast sea kayak class at racing events due to its speed, but with a length/beam ratio
of 9.1 it actually rates as a sea kayak. It has speed on par with kayaks having
ratios as high as 10.8. Now that's efficiency.
