New Bonafide Kayaks: Motor Options and Special Edition Themes
I go through Bonafide's new kayaks and special edition themes, then compare their Torqeedo and Bixpy motor options.
What’s in this video
Bonafide showed what they can do this year with design and some killer themes. I walk through the EX Expedition, the SS107, the RS117 and the Fusion, then the special editions: BK25 Military, SB1 270 Tiki, SB1 Black Widow and SB1 Raps.
At the end I cover the motor options, Torqeedo and Bixpy, and the pod mount. I’m a Bixpy ambassador, so I want to be upfront about that. Both motors are good and they offer very different features, so I lay them out so you can pick what fits you.
