Esquif Avalon Canoe – Now in T-Formex Lite: Lighter, Tougher Touring
The Esquif Avalon is a stable, efficient touring canoe built for lakes, calm rivers, and family adventures. For 2026, it’s available exclusively in T-Formex Lite—a new layup that trims weight while preserving the Avalon’s hallmark durability and impact resistance.
T-Formex Lite’s multi-layer construction delivers a responsive hull that’s easier to portage and load on the car, with excellent abrasion resistance for everyday paddling. Add classic outfitting—comfortable web seats, a contoured yoke, and dependable trim—and you’ve got a canoe that shines on cottage laps, day tours, and light tripping.
Balanced Performance for Flatwater & Gentle Current
The Avalon tracks confidently for distance yet turns predictably when you slide into a winding channel. A forgiving, stable platform inspires confidence for new paddlers while offering the glide and efficiency experienced paddlers appreciate.
Durable & Repairable Construction
T-Formex Lite resists impacts, UV, and cold-weather abuse. Unlike disposable alternatives, it can be repaired with standard ABS/T-Formex techniques—extending the canoe’s service life and reducing waste.
