ReactR: Explained

[@PadlespesialistenAS]

Super description, David! Cheers, Johan, Marius and the rest of the crew.

[@BlueEffigy]

looks like a fun boat

[@slicebo]

Any specs on the Small? Specifically, paddler weight range ? Thanks!

[@PyranhaKayaks]

Too soon for that detail of info just yet, but we'll put it out there when we get to that point!

[@slicebo]

Cool! Thanks again!!

[@PyranhaKayaks]

@@slicebo you're welcome!

[@stellarmetalworks9850]

When do you think more color choices will be available?

[@PyranhaKayaks]

There's a whole heap of extra choices if you go custom: custom.pyranha.com/kayak-customiser.php?model=reactR - we might do an LE later in the year, but no solid plans or timescale on that yet.

[@williamrudisill1]

Size wise, I feel in between the medium and large scorch. will the medium reactr feel larger than the medium scorch? thanks

[@PyranhaKayaks]

The sizing of the ReactR is more generous than the Scorch, so a Medium ReactR will likely suit you well!

[@arjunsagoi]

Hello pyranha is there going to be a small size as well of reactor

[@PyranhaKayaks]

There absolutely will be! We'll be cutting the plug soon, and will release more info on specs and timeframe as soon as we have it!

[@DiscosVideos]

How is this going to compare to the Scorch?

[@PyranhaKayaks]

The ReactR is a lot more maneuvrable, and opens up new possibilities like a variety of methods to be able to boof - i.e. you can sweep boof when flat, use the pivot hull to just have a way easier time boofing regularly, or crank the boat on edge and double pump for enormous air. It's just a whole new experience, while still allowing for your 'standard' paddling style which you might use in any other creeker.

[@slicebo]

Would you say the Reactr makes transitioning from a play boat and that "style" of paddling, as you mentioned the double pump which I have never heard mentioned of when paddling a creeker, (whooo hooo) easier?

[@PyranhaKayaks]

@@slicebo good question, and yes, we imagine it would! More from the manoeuvrability perspective, though, especially with a hard-chined planing hull and the way it'll swing round on the spot flat, or you can do low-angle pivot turns/double-pump boof/etc. - the difference is, this has the waterline length when you need it for carrying momentum horizontally through a feature or getting some decent speed.

[@slicebo]

Most excellent! Can't wait to give er a go!! Appreciate the reply!

So Reactr M bigger than Scorch M, right? How about gear carrying ability with that tail? I got a Scorch L at 6', 180lb but feel it's big as a daily driver and waterfall boat, but the M would've been too small for multidays at 82 gal. Extra boat in the quiver (in addition to half slice and playboat) would be sweet but not in the books. Cheers!

[@PyranhaKayaks]

It's a more generous size, sure, and although the tail is a lower volume design, it's also a touch wider, and the lower seat and completely detachable backrest make it way easier to gain access back there, so you'll probably be able to carry a similar amount of gear - Bren certainly had a good amount of gear in the back in Brazil, but he's a bit lighter and shorter than you - you'll need to demo to be sure!

[@PyranhaKayaks]

@@lawrencekniser8555 cool, then hit up your preferred dealer!

[@williambrazil3760]

Ropes instead of rachets....

[@PyranhaKayaks]

Yessir - we've spent a lot of time in development and testing to make sure it brings all the advantages of a cleat system, while adding some extra benefits, fixing the issues, and moving away from the cons of a ratchet system. Don't knock it until you've tried this specific one.
