Why G'Power
Slalom demands paddles that survive continuous gate contact and rock impacts while staying light enough for 90-second sprint runs. The Revolution ELITE weighs 490–540 g with metal tips on both Blatt corners. Five Blatt sizes (XS–XL) let Fox fine-tune Blatt resistance for different course profiles.
The INOX steel edges on the Spider ELITE and Revolution ELITE withstand 200+ gate contacts per training session without chipping. At the Olympic level, Blatt damage during a run means a time penalty or worse.
Equipment Specs
