Esquif Echo 2.0 Solo Canoe – Deeper, Drier, More Capable
The new Echo 2.0 keeps the agility and responsiveness paddlers loved in the original Echo—and pushes it further. With an additional 1.5" (3.8 cm) of depth, it boosts load capacity while preserving the Echo’s trademark lightness, efficiency, and quick maneuvering.
This refined hull also adds enhanced whitewater capability, giving you a drier ride and more confidence in technical water. Whether you’re carrying extra gear for touring or threading a more demanding line, the Echo 2.0 delivers the durability, performance, and reliability to expand your horizons.
Touring Performance with Technical Range
A shallow-arch shape provides reassuring primary stability and smooth secondary stability for edging and carving. The Echo 2.0 tracks efficiently on flatwater yet remains lively and predictable when you need quick direction changes.
Durable & Repairable T-Formex Construction
Built in T-Formex for impact resistance, UV stability, and cold-weather toughness. It’s field-serviceable using standard ABS/T-Formex repair methods to extend the canoe’s life on the water.
