Research and experimentation led our R&D team to a superior mix of materials that can be utilized in the Infusion Production Process in the same way our Full Carbon Raven and Carbon Core Composite Extreme model shells are built. This Proprietary Layup proved itself in other applications to have high strength and longevity, while providing a lighter finish weight that improves performance in products where weight is a defining factor. Simplification of the construction and components on N-X provide this entry level model with the characteristics of a racing boat while maintaining ample forgiveness for novice or club racers and recreational or fitness crews as well. N-X is built in North America with materials purchased in Canada and the United States. It is layed up in the same molds as our higher end models. However, because of the careful design and materials search done for N-X, we are able to offer it at lower prices, close to the costs of inexpensive Asian shells. The N-X definitely provides a bang for your buck whether you are looking to buy personally, or add to a club fleet. N-X offers high quality, performance, adjustability, longevity, and super value and is a North American product!
