After carefully selecting the proper materials and simplifying both the contruction and components we introduced the NEW N-X! This entry level model has all the features of a racing model, while maintaining ample forgiveness for the entry level and club level rower. Although built completely in North America in the same molds as our highest performance models, we have been able to produce the N-X for sale at prices only seen on Asian shells. North Americans deserve to have an option to purchase Higher Quality Entry Level and Club Model Shells ON THIS CONTINENT! And there is Definitely a Big Bang for your Buck if you are in need of good racing boats that are strong enough for training new rowers as well. The excellent performance of N-X will make you quickly forget that you are not in a High End Model shell!
