Product detailed description
Werner Ikelos Bent Carbon 2-Piece: The most advanced paddle for the high-angle style
Ikelos: A Strong Sense of a Fully-Fledged Leaf
The Ikelos model is the pinnacle of Werner Paddles’ lineup in terms of design and technology for the high-angle paddling style. It’s a smart choice for experienced and powerful paddlers who require a large blade area (691 cm²) for immediate, powerful thrust and rapid acceleration. Thanks to its perfect dihedral shape, it provides smooth, stable, and exceptionally efficient forward paddling without any unpleasant vibration.
Curved pole, durable Dynel® edges, and blade lift
This premium model features advanced design elements you won't find anywhere else:
- Dynel® Edge Guards: The edges of the carbon blades are reinforced with a special composite material called Dynel®, which is extremely resistant to impact and abrasion. This provides excellent protection for the paddle against the harsh environment of rocky shores and cliffs.
- Ergonomic Shaft (Bent Shaft): The two-piece carbon shaft is specially curved in the grip areas. It ensures an optimal alignment of the wrist and forearm, thereby relieving strain on the tendons and drastically reducing fatigue during powerful strokes.
- Aerial shot: The paddle offers exceptionally light strokes with natural lift. In addition, the perfectly smooth back of the blade ensures a quiet, clean entry and exit of the paddle from the water without any loss of energy.
- Smart View Connector: A patented internal connection system for the easiest and most precise blade angle adjustment on the market (with no protruding external clips).
What is this paddle best suited for?
The Werner Ikelos Bent is the ultimate tool for performance-oriented paddlers. It excels at the following activities:
- Challenging sea kayaking and ocean expeditions: Reliability and complete control in strong winds, surf, and rough seas.
- Competitive Paddling: Instant response during rapid acceleration and maximization of the transfer of your physical strength into the boat's movement.
- Long-distance rides and touring: Thanks to its protective edges and extremely light weight (755 g), it can handle even the toughest conditions and save you energy.

Expert Advice – Dynel® Protection and Clutch Maintenance: The Dynel® material around the perimeter of the blades gives the Ikelos model a significant advantage in abrasion resistance compared to standard all-carbon blades. Although it can handle occasional contact with the bottom, try to avoid using the paddle as a push-off tool against sharp rocks—it is primarily a performance tool. To ensure the long life of the Smart View internal joint, it is important to disassemble the paddle and thoroughly rinse the mechanism with clean fresh water after every use in saltwater or sandy environments.
