Brut Elite JRS: Strength, Stability, and Durability

Galasport Brut Elite – JRS This is a material-enhanced version of the Brut Elite paddle for paddlers seeking high durability for touring and extreme whitewater. The large asymmetrical blade, carbon construction, and flexible JRS shaft deliver a powerful, stable, and predictable stroke even in challenging conditions.

This paddle is designed for paddlers who need effective support in rapids, quick acceleration, reliable strokes between rocks, and durable construction for intensive use. The large blade surface is best suited for advanced paddlers with good technique and active torso engagement.

An asymmetrical Kevlar-carbon blade inspired by slalom

The asymmetrical Kevlar-carbon blade is based on a slalom shape. This design enhances the blade’s stability in the water, provides more precise stroke control, and ensures a more reliable response during rapid changes of direction in flowing water.

• Asymmetrical shape: It is based on a slalom profile for stable and efficient traction.
• Kevlar-carbon version: It combines the stiffness of carbon with the durability of a composite structure.
• More reliable contact with water: Useful for support, entering hairpin turns, and correcting your line.
• Sporty character: For active paddling in rapids and challenging terrain.

JRS Technology for Leaf and Shaft Durability

TechnologyGVAC It uses JRS material with a 70% carbon content. The JRS material is used in both the blade construction and the shaft, where it is designed to enhance durability and provide better shock absorption upon contact with an obstacle or during intense strokes.

• GVAC technology: A construction method using JRS material.
• JRS with 70% carbon: A material designed for strength, flexibility, and durability.
• Durable pole: A flexible design for better shock absorption.
• A sturdy unit: Both the blades and the shaft are designed for regular use in harsh conditions.

Reinforced edges for slower wear

The blade is reinforced with JRS material and carbon fiber along its entire perimeter. The reinforced edges are designed to reduce wear caused by contact with rocks, the riverbed, and other obstacles commonly encountered in extreme water conditions.

• Reinforcement around the entire perimeter: JRS and carbon protect the blade's high-stress edges.
• Less wear and tear: The design helps extend the service life when the product comes into regular contact with obstacles.
• Higher impact resistance: Great for creeks, rocky rapids, and expeditions.
• Easier maintenance: After each ride, check the edges of the blades and address any damage promptly.

730 cm² cleaning area for powerful coverage

The sheet is 450 mm, width 200 mm and the desktop 730 cm². This is a large power blade that provides significant support and effectively transfers power to the stroke during acceleration, when stabilizing the boat, or during quick maneuvers in the current.

• Leaf area 730 cm²: Excellent support for powerful strokes and dynamic kayak handling.
• Dimensions 450 × 200 mm: A large paddle for technical whitewater and active paddling.
• Rapid acceleration: It helps you react to eddies and changes in the current.
• Higher technical demands: The large sheet is better suited for riders who are in good physical condition and have proper torso rotation.

A flexible and durable pole with a diameter of 29.5 mm

The mast uses an improved JRS material and has an outer diameter of 29.5 mm. It is designed to be a flexible and durable part of the paddle that helps absorb shocks and provides a secure grip during intense paddling.

• Shaft diameter 29.5 mm: Standard size for a firm and secure grip.
• JRS Material: A design focused on flexibility and impact resistance.
• Shock absorption: It helps reduce the transmission of shocks when the blade comes into contact with an obstacle.
• Durability for expeditions: Practical for long-term use on both recreational and whitewater rivers.

Expert Advice

A blade with a surface area of 730 cm² provides significant power but also places greater strain on the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Transfer power to the stroke by rotating your torso, not just your arms, and do not extend the blade too far past your side. Before each trip, check the edges of the blades and the condition of the shaft; after paddling, rinse the paddle with fresh water and store it away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures.
