8kgs! - The Ultimate Lightweight Adventure Kayak
Built for adventure, the Ultralite from Advanced Elements is popular amongst hikers, seniors and those chasing a lightweight high-performance kayak. The AdvancedFrame Ultralite kayak weighs in at just 8kgs and combines cutting-edge design with ultra-lightweight materials, delivering an unbeatable blend of performance, convenience and high-end quality that Advanced Elements are known for.
It shares amazing performance features with its bigger cousins in the patented aluminium rib-frame technology built into the bow and stern. The ribs create a strong chisel on either end of the kayak allowing it to cut through water. This coupled with the moulded fin on the hull ensures great speed and tracking on the water.
At 81cm wide the Ultralite has great stability making it an easy choice for beginners. We recommend a max paddler weight of 80kgs and a max paddler height of 180cm to ensure you are comfortable on your paddle. If you need something to carry more gear you can check out the AdvancedFrame Sport Elite which has a capacity of 113kg courtesy of its drop stitch floor. If you need more leg room, you can check out the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite.
The Ultralite is built to last with its ultra-light polyurethane materials in a 3-layer construction ensuring extreme puncture resistance, while the welded seams and foam floor add an extra layer of durability. Whether you're navigating choppy waters or exploring serene lakes, the Ultralite is up to the challenge.
The seat that changed the game
The highback seating that comes with the Ultralite is a game-changer. It has a 4.5 cm foam cushion with a hard-wearing material cover that is comfy for hours of paddling. The high back and sides allow you to relax back into the seat and it wraps around you. The thick straps clip into the kayak easily and you can adjust the straps while out on the water.
The best bit though is that the seats also have an inflatable lumbar support chamber built in! If you find that you need a bit of support in your lower back, you can inflate or deflate the chamber while out on the water by simply blowing into the mouth tube.
Setup in just 6 mins!
Thanks to the included double-action hand pump, you can have this kayak inflated and ready for action in just 6 minutes! Simply inflate the chambers, add in the floor, deck lift and seat and you are good to go.
So, what are you waiting for? Unleash your inner adventurer and experience the ultimate in lightweight, high-performance kayaking with the AdvancedFrame® Ultralite!
