Good
Very balanced boat. The high nose allows good boof and the speed is impressive. Easy to drive.
Bad
The weight of the kayak is for sure the biggest problem. The rails also can be hard on rocky creeks.

Weight Of Use
This boat is good for beginners, intermediate and advanced paddler who likes big volume rivers. Good for paddler between 70 and 90 kg, while the little sister 'veloc' could be good from 60 to 70-75 kg.
Good
Good feelings in big water and good speed in waves thanks to the flat bottom and the low profile tail. The weight is nicely about 1-2 kg below the average.
Bad
The rails make the boat a bit harder to control in rocky creeks. The outfitting is not very comfortable especially for the legs. The boof in drops with an entry slope are much harder because of the low tail profile.
