Exo Helixir L

EXO Helixir L: An ultra-lightweight Czech freestyle legend for maximum performance

Helixir L: Extreme Lightness and Pure Freestyle

The EXO Helixir L is the ultimate lightweight and durable freestyle kayak, designed to offer maximum responsiveness and maneuverability during tricks on the water. Top paddlers Guillaume Respaud and Quim Fontané contributed to the development of the hull shape, ensuring that every detail of the hull serves a single purpose: performance. The L size is optimized for paddlers weighing 70–90 kg who are looking for a boat with sufficient volume but don’t want to compromise on agility and rotation speed. Weighing just 14.5 kg, handling the board both on shore and in the water is a pure joy.

Hull and Hydrodynamics: Maximum Responsiveness and Maneuverability

The boat's hydrodynamic profile is optimized for aggressive and precise navigation in the current:

• Aft Overthruster: The added volume in the tail provides extra power and "pop" during rotations, making it easier to perform challenging maneuvers such as spins, blunt turns, or endos.
• Compact and rigid foam core: It ensures excellent hull response and power transfer without unnecessarily increasing the boat's weight.
• Extremely light weight (14.5 kg): It allows the boat to respond to even the slightest input from the paddler, which is key for dynamic freestyle paddling.
• Optimized capacity (220 L): It provides sufficient buoyancy for riders weighing 70–90 kg, ensuring the boat stays upright even during challenging maneuvers in choppy waters.

Features: Intuitive system and EXO Rail technology

EXO prides itself on the fact that its equipment must be simple, high-performance, and extremely lightweight:

• Adjustable seat with EXO Rail technology: A unique rail system allows for easy and precise adjustment of the seat position, providing better support and stability during dynamic movements.
• Adjustable backrest with a rope system: It allows for quick and reliable tension adjustment that holds even under extreme loads and does not get clogged with sand.
• Pre-shaped foam footrests: They ensure direct and efficient power transfer from the legs to the hull, which is absolutely essential for edge control.
• Lightweight and durable construction: All components are selected to minimize overall weight while ensuring maximum service life under demanding conditions.

Recommended activities: From river play to advanced freestyle tricks

EXO Helixir L is a specialized tool for riders who want to push their limits:

• Advanced Freestyle: Responsive handling, light weight, and an overthruster make it ideal for challenging tricks and complex combinations on waves and in barrels.
• River play: Ideal for paddlers who want to combine a fast-paced river run with a constant search for waves and features for surfing and tricks.
• Practicing Advanced Techniques: Thanks to its predictability and willingness to turn, it's a great board for perfecting Eskimo rolls, pivots, and edge work.

About the brand EXO Kayaks

Czech brandEXO Kayaks (formerly known as EXC) is synonymous with excellent value for money, innovative design, and high-quality domestic manufacturing. Their boats are designed in collaboration with the world’s top paddlers and tested under the most demanding conditions. The Helixir model is proof that Czech quality and racing DNA can compete with the world’s best brands in freestyle paddling.

Caring for a Polyethylene Shell

Although the Helixir is built to be highly durable, we recommend rinsing the boat with clean water after sailing in sandy conditions—especially in the cockpit area and around the equipment mechanisms—to prevent wear and jamming caused by sand. Store the boat in a shaded area away from constant direct UV exposure. Regularly check that the screws on the seat and backrest are tight.
