MATERIALS/MANufACTuRINg

Your canoe is made of Ram-X™. Its great flexibility offers exceptional 
shock resistance. This flexibility increases with heat or with the craft’s 
prolonged exposure to the sun but may also slightly warp the hull. The 
warping disappears when the hull cools and never affects the craft’s 
performance.

Ram-X™ is a superior material that was developed and registered 
in 1978. It quickly became the benchmark of quality in the industry 
thanks to its shock resistance and ability to regain its initial shape 
following an impact. Widely hailed by consumers, Ram-X™ is a step 
above other materials used in the industry.
