Lendal® Introduces the New X-Range Paddle — the Strongest, Lightest Lendal Ever

Rochester, NY. (August 3, 2011)—Lendal North America announces the
launch of the Lendal X-range touring paddles; a major step forward in
innovation and technology.
Lendal’s new X-Range combines the renowned performance of the Kinetik
Touring blade with the latest in composite engineering. Designed by
kayakers for kayakers, this four piece paddle features aerospace carbon
technology and customized Paddlok® design. Our new manufacturing process
ensures that X-Range paddles have the highest quality, are extremely
lightweight, and remarkably strong. The four-piece paddles continue to
demonstrate exceptional rigidity due to the patented Paddlok system,
with a new ergonomic, elegant design. Handcrafted in America, the
X-Range represents Lendal’s commitment to quality and innovation.
Based on feedback from world-class paddlers, X-Range shafts feature a
bio-engineered grip that is formed directly into the shaft reducing
hand fatigue and increasing hand comfort. Two grip profiles accommodate
paddlers with smaller and larger hands along with straight and modified
crankshaft versions.
The X-Range series blades currently consists of our most popular
Lendal blades, the Kinetic Touring 650 and Kinetic Touring 700. We
replaced the center rib with a foam-filled, foiled back face for a more
fluid feel on the water while retaining proven power face geometry. In
the words of Neil Baxter, World Champion kayaker and the original
designer of the kinetik blade, “The new shaft adds to the sensations of
control. In a quite awkward sea and wind I felt totally at home with the
blade in minutes always knowing the exact position of the blade to
water and wind. Overall a very pleasant experience. On the downwind
using stern draws and the ever present reverse steering stroke it was
masterful. I would give the blades a 10 out of 10!
