Werner Ikelos STR Carbon

Werner Ikelos STR Carbon: An extremely lightweight paddle for the high-angle style

Ikelos STR: Powerful pull and perfect lightness

The Ikelos model is the technological flagship of the American brand Werner Paddles, designed for a more aggressive, high-angle paddling style. The STR (Straight) version, with its classic straight shaft, is ideal for high-speed paddlers who require a large blade area (691 cm²) for immediate, powerful thrust and precise control. Thanks to its excellent shape with a smooth back surface, the paddle provides a smooth, stable, and exceptionally quiet glide through the water without unnecessary energy loss.

Straight shaft, durable Dynel® edges, and a smooth entry

This premium two-piece model features advanced design elements that make it a long-term investment:

• Dynel® Edge Guards: The edges of the carbon blades are reinforced with a special material called Dynel®, which is extremely resistant to impact and abrasion. This provides excellent protection for the paddle’s edges against harsh environments and contact with rocky shores.
• Straight Shaft: The two-piece carbon shaft provides a traditional grip and maximum stiffness for instant power transfer. Thanks to this design, the total weight of the paddle is reduced to an incredible 670 g.
• Smooth back surface of the leaf: It ensures a quiet, smooth entry and exit of the paddle from the water and promotes exceptionally light, almost "floating" strokes.
• Smart View Connector: A patented internal connection system that ensures simple and precise adjustment of the blade angle. The mechanism has no protruding outer edges, so it does not interfere with the smooth sliding of the shaft in your palms.

What is this paddle best suited for?

The Werner Ikelos STR Carbon is the ultimate tool for sport-oriented and demanding paddlers. It excels at the following activities:

• Performance Sea Kayaking and Expeditions: Reliability and complete control in strong winds, surf, and ocean currents.
• Speed Touring: Instant response when accelerating and maximizing the transfer of your physical strength into the boat's movement.
