Werner Bandit Carbon Canoe Paddle
The Werner Bandit Carbon is a premium one-piece whitewater canoe paddle designed for technical river runners and slalom canoeists who require a powerful catch, precise control and low swing weight.
Its aggressive spooned power face engages the water decisively at the start of the stroke, providing the positive catch needed for demanding whitewater paddling. Werner’s dihedral blade design promotes smooth and stable forward paddling by helping water flow evenly across the blade.
A durable carbon-weave laminate blade makes this Werner’s lightest Bandit option. It is paired with a continuous-weave carbon shaft designed to provide an optimised balance of flex and strength.
Designed for Technical Whitewater
The Bandit Carbon is purpose-built for technical river running and canoe slalom. Its spooned power face provides a powerful catch, while its lightweight carbon construction supports precise paddle placement and responsive control on moving water.
The oval index built into the shaft provides a tactile reference for blade orientation, helping the paddler maintain consistent hand positioning and control.
Lightweight Carbon Construction
Werner uses a durable carbon-weave laminate blade to give the Bandit Carbon its lightest swing weight option.
The continuous-weave carbon shaft is engineered for optimised flex and strength, complementing the stiff, lightweight blade construction. The complete paddle has a manufacturer-stated weight of 687g.
Dihedral Blade Design
The blade incorporates Werner’s dihedral design, which helps water flow evenly from both sides of the blade during the stroke. This promotes the smooth and stable forward paddling characteristic that Werner builds into its paddle range.
Enhanced Control
An oval shaft index provides a clear tactile reference for blade alignment and hand placement.
The enhanced ABS T-grip is designed to deliver maximum control and greater durability, giving the paddler a secure connection to the paddle.
