Pyranha ReactR - Elite

Pivot Hull Design with Elite Outfitting

Pyranha claims that the ReactR is one of the most progressive and innovative creek boats to hit the rapids in many years. Whether you're dropping into a challenging gorge or just enjoying your local river, the Pyranha ReactR allows you to choose your line with unmatched agility and precision.

The Pyranha ReactR features a completely new hull design, with a perfectly positioned pivot point and two planing surfaces – one in front of the paddler and another behind. This design makes the ReactR stable, both when landing drops and when planing out of features on the tail.

The pivot point, where the front and back rockers converge, allows you to easily rebalance your weight. This flexibility enables you to customize the kayak's pitch - lifting the bow to bring it up and over features or shifting weight forward for better glide and control from the front.

The ReactR's hull profile facilitates easy direction changes when flat, without catching the tail. The rocker profile reduces side pressure on the ends of the boat, while the bow design ensures smoother water entry. This lifts the kayak closer to the paddler and encourages horizontal skips, allowing cross currents to pass beneath without knocking you off your line.

The Pyranha ReactR is not a half slice and the tail is not designed to be underwater but instead to allow water to slide around it. Soft side walls above and below allow minimal pressure from diagonal or side currents, while high edges on the bow and stern contribute to agile yet predictable carving performance.

Overall, the Pyranha ReactR can be summarized as one of the most nimble, maneuverable, and enjoyable kayaks for paddling on whitewater.
