The Nitro features a more forward blade to achieve a more efficient stroke. It also
improves the pressure build-up, moves the pressure point to the front and the reduces
typical fluttering of a straight shaft paddle to a minimum. The Nitro certainly makes use
of the hydrodynamic lift, which stabilizes the blades in the water and helps improving
the pressure build-up making it more even and efficient. The hydrodynamic lift is
enabled by the blades' prominent profile combined with the pre-located pressure point.
Materials:
LCS 70 Extreme:
o The extreme structure of our LCS 70 material is made for particularly tough use.
In extreme races, in heavy whitewater, and in whitewater downhill races,
athletes swear by this robust material structure. On all models, an aramid wear
edge is inserted into the blade, which prevents excessive abrasion at the edge of
the blade. In addition, an additional layer of carbon-aramite-hybrite fabric
provides more strength.
70% carbon for maximum tensile force, highest stiffness, low weight
15% aramid for high impact resistance
15% glass fiber for high elasticity
Epoxy resin matrix for highest strength values
Edges with aramid reinforcement
Extra many layers for more stability
