nortik DUO Expedition Raft
Maximum versatility: The duo for solo and two-person tours
The DUO Expedition is the largest raft in the lineup and impresses with its exceptional versatility. It can be used by two people or, by simply installing the comfortable woven seat in the middle, as a spacious solo raft. This hybrid function makes it the ideal companion for paddlers who don’t want to commit to a specific crew size and value a perfect solo riding position with maximum space.
The Duo Expedition Packraft is an agile, stable, and tracking-reliable companion on trekraft tours, impressing with its pack size, weight, and handling characteristics that are remarkable for this boat segment. Chapeau!— KANU-Magazin
Technical Innovation for Stability and Storage
A technical highlight is the integrated, inflatable keel, which not only massively improves straight-line stability but also serves as an additional, separate safety buoyancy chamber. As is standard with the Expedition line, gear disappears into two integrated 70-liter bags located directly inside the air tube. Thanks to their symmetrical placement in the front section, negative handling caused by imbalance is consistently avoided, while the interior remains completely unobstructed for the paddler.
We always bring the nortik DUO Expedition PackRaft with us on our tours around the world – during a 1-year tour in our VW camper through North America, or on a 1-year tour through Australia, for example. Whenever we are near water, we take it out, go paddling, and enjoy experiencing nature from the boat. The DUO is wonderfully uncomplicated, light, and quickly ready for use – naturally with our special Schnozzel Pumpbag inflation sack from Exped.— Andreas Brun, President & Founder EXPED AG
