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.
