Bell Canoes
Laminate Options
Royalex® is a resilient
canoe material consisting of a stiff foam core sandwiched between
rigid ABS shell layers clad in a vinyl inner and outer skin. This
durable, impact resistant laminate is available in select Bell
models. Its forgiving nature makes it ideal for rocky, moving water
applications where impact and abrasion are inevitable. Our design
engineer works closely with our Royalex® molding team to ensure
strength and durability are maximized without adding unnecessary
weight. KevLight
KevLight utilizes their revolutionary Lightning Tech lamination
process to bond our custom bi-weave layers of Kevlar© into the
lightest, most efficient Bell laminate available. KevLight is not
gel coated, allowing the highlights of our stunning moire pattern
Kevlar© cloth to show through. Foam core ribs and internal
reinforcements increase stiffness. Beautiful and extremely
lightweight, KevLight is the perfect option for those paddlers
seeking pure performance from a composite hull. KevLight may be
ordered with gel coat at no extra charge.
BlackGold™ Combining
the stiffness and abrasion resistance of carbon fiber with the
excellent tensile strength of Kevlar®, BlackGold™ is the finest
canoe laminate available. It is light and stiff enough to move your
Bell canoe through the water quickly and efficiently. It also
brushes off impacts that send other composites to the bottom of the
river. For 2006 they've adapted elements of our Lightning Tech
lamination process to BlackGold, shedding gel coat and a few pounds
off your next portage. If you need a laminate for the long haul,
BlackGold is it. BlackGold can be ordered with gel. |
