Reviews

*Colors:**

Red	Sand	White

Green

The Expedition 186 is bringing tripping back in a big way. Designed with very little rocker and an asymmetrical hull, this hybrid composite "super" canoe will track true and stay on course throughout your entire journey.

Able to carry substantial gear while maintaining a rapid pace, this canoe also excels as a comfortable, yet high performance cruising hull when unburdened.

Features:

Sliding contoured cane bow seat
Contoured portage yoke
Tripping thwart
Adjustable stern ash footbrace
Cane bucket stern seat
Shaped ash carry handles
Thermoformed polyethylene decks

Factory-Installed Options:

Skid Plates - $250

Materials

Kevlar® KX

Mad River Canoe has been building canoes of Kevlar aramid fiber longer than anyone else, so we know it well. Used to make body armor, Kevlar boasts a tensile strength 5 times stronger than steel and tremendous impact absorption and tear resistance. Over the years we've combined the best attributes of Kevlar and a hybrid composite matrix containing fiberglass, graphite and core material to build the most durable canoes per pound available.

*Colors may vary slightly from those shown. Color combinations will vary from those shown in catalog and are unique for each boat produced. Variations in color are not covered by warranty.
