More About the Trak T1600

The Trak T1600 is a little different from the other kayaks on this site as it is not an inflatable.  However, it does fit into a carrying pack and can easily be brought with you anywhere.  It easily snaps together in an eight piece frame and has a polyurethane skin.  I had to include it as it is just as easily set up and usable as an inflatable kayak and is really a unique design.

It is a phenomenal transforming kayak that will likely last you a lifetime with a little care.  It is the world’s only high performance kayak that can fit into a pack and go with you anywhere.

Why Is the Trak so Special?

The Trak T1600 has hydraulics inside the cockpit that allows you to instantly shift the shape of the kayaks hull so that you can have optimum performance whether dealing with high winds or changing water conditions.  No other kayak that fits into a bag has ever offered this option.  You can literally loosen the center jack so that the hull lies flat for maximum speed as well as stability.

Or if you need more maneuverability you can increase the tension so that the ends bow up.  You can even transform the kayak so that the bow bends into a right or left facing position to combat strong winds.  It is truly a fantastic water craft.

Final Thoughts On the Trak T1600

The Trak T1600 is great for paddlers of all skill levels from beginner to advanced.  This kayak is revolutionary in that it will offer you maximum performance for many different water and weather conditions and go with you absolutely anywhere.
