Pyranha ReactR
£1595.00
Description
Ride higher and drier in rapids, scream into eddies faster than ever, and find your line without any limitations. The ReactR is Pyranha’s most innovative design yet, and opens new doors within the world of creek and river running for kayakers of all abilities.
In the design of the ReactR, Pyranha have spent significant time developing an entirely new style of hull, with a perfectly positioned pivot point and two planing surfaces, one in front and another behind, which the paddler can switch between with ease. This means the boat is stable both when landing a drop on the bow and when planing out of features on the tail. You want that skip, and Pyranha have delivered.
This isn't just a kayak – it's a statement about Pyranha’s commitment to leading the charge and progressing the sport through design innovation. The ReactR’s development tore up the rulebook on creek boat design and rewrote it – embrace the new era of whitewater kayaking!
Key Features
- The ReactR hull has been perfected to enable direction changes when flat without tripping over the tail.
- The “Pivot Hull Philosophy” allows the paddler to take complete control of the boat’s direction at any speed.
- The ReactR’s tail design has been honed to stay on top of the water when heading downstream, but enable rapid direction changes through low-angle pivot turns while keeping your weight over the front and your forward momentum strong.
- An innovative rocker profile takes sidewall pressure away from the ends of the boat and allows you to make last second adjustments and carve into eddies.
- The bow profile gives smoother water entry, a lifting point closer to the paddler for more horizontal skips, and allows cross currents to pass under the boat without knocking you off your line.
- The ReactR’s hull efficiently glides out of features and retains upstream speed in ferries and attainments, yet still gets out of your way quick during boofs.
- The dynamic bow captures the flow running over it and directs it under the boat for increased speed and optimal planing performance.
- Pyranha’s new, Elite outfitting system has been redesigned from the hull up to give you optimal control of the ReactR’s progressive hull design.

"Pyranha have revisited their outfitting in this kayak and changed lots of things from the Stout2, the new version is more simple and lightweight than before moving over to a cleat and rope backrest and simple foam pads on the seat and backrest, some of this is for sustainability."
"We have made a boat that is more forgiving and begginer freindly than any boat we have made before but with the performance of a pyranha boat"
