Brand: LETTMANN | Product: Biskaya 90
Why should the Biskaya 90 win?
The new Biskaya 90 gives you an extremly fast, safe, true to line seakayak and makes you home on all waters (ok not on River WW).
Reinventing our classic!
The Biskaya has been the athlete among our sea kayaks since 2011. The particularly fast and slim kayak is manoeuvrable and particularly agile, especially when you make use of the edge – which was child’s play then as now thanks to the slim, strongly rounded U-frame. The new Biskaya, which is now available in 7 sizes, comes across as a sporty all-rounder more than ever, because the second generation’s directional stability has been slightly optimized, which pays off on long tours and journeys, but not at the expense of the agility works. In addition, the sterns have been slightly raised, which has a positive effect when surfing and breaking true waves.
Take it sporty, try the Biskaya – the ultimate all-rounder for training sessions, day trips or travel.
More wind stability, better surf and still incredibly agile:
Although we were super content with the original Biskaya’s directional stability already, especially when packed and trimmed well, we aimed even higher with the new kayak. The front and rear is tapered, a little bit more rocker and moving the cockpit more towards the rear made the Biskaya a speed machine that performs incredibly in wind, surfs easily and keeps being controllable and manoeuvrable on the wave.
Skeg or Rudder?
We decided to offer 3 different Skeg/Rudder options for our Biskaya 2.0.
1. Lettmann Skudder
2012 we launched the newest Lettmann skudder along with the original Biskaya. It has been an essential part of our sea kayaks since 1983 when it was launcht in our first Nordstern. Obviously, the new Biskaya will be available with the Skudder. It particularly makes sense for beginners and intermediate sea kayakers as it simplifies steering in stressful situation for the kayaker to focus on acceleration.
2. Kajaksport Skeg
With the Biskaya 2.0 we expect advanced and professional kayakers to be interested in having a skeg. That’s why we decided to offer assembling the Biskaya 2.0 with the Kajaksport Skeg 4.
3. Lettmann Skudder with adapter
The solution for indecisive kayakers! We created an adapter for our skudder that locks the Skeg/Rudder blade in place horizontally. The blade will still be retractable but won’t move sidewards eliminating the steering function. This Adapter can be mounted and dismounted and will be available for every Lettmann kayak with a skudder system.
