WHY CHOOSE THIS PADDLE?
Silky smooth and consistently forgiving, the Hydro TempoX is the ultimate flat-water paddle for fitness and recreational paddling enthusiasts. Ideal for those paddlers looking to take the next step, the Hydro TempoX incorporates DNA from our best-selling Hydro FlowX design to deliver an unparalleled paddling experience, at a reduced price point.
We used our proprietary Advanced Flow and Power Scoop technology to minimize blade movement, resulting in an incredibly smooth and rhythmic paddling experience. The higher 10° blade angle creates a more forgiving catch, further enhancing the feel and comfort of the paddle stroke. This combination of innovative blade design and higher blade angle allows paddlers to find their flow and hone their technique.
Built in our REFLEX100 construction, the Hydro TempoX is lightweight, durable, and responsive for a performance-orientated paddling experience. For smaller paddlers, the Medium and Small sized blades are fitted with a more flexible REFLEX90 shaft. Bigger paddlers using the Large and XL will benefit from the increased stiffness of the REFLEX100 shaft.
The new Power Grip ergonomic racing handle ensures your hand remains secure during high cadence paddling bursts and comfortable during long days on the water.
Available in Fixed, Adjustable and 3-Piece Adjustable, plus four different blade sizes and two shaft diameters, the Hydro TempoX caters to any paddler’s specific needs.
FORGIVING 10°
BLADE ANGLE
We designed the Hydro TempoX blade to be a little more forgiving and it suits a less aggressive and lower cadence paddle stroke. The moderate 10° blade angle promotes increased reach, a smooth paddle entry and a little more comfort than the Hydro FlowX or Hydro SprintX.
MEDIUM POWER SCOOP (MPS)
The Hydro TempoX features a single, medium depth power scoop design with dihedral shaped edges. This design increases stroke power and delivers forward thrust in a smooth and controlled manner. PST is designed to work in harmony with Advanced Flow Technology (AFT).
26.5mm & 29mm
SHAFT OPTIONS
The Hydro TempoX paddle is available with both STANDARD (29mm) diameter and SLIM (26.5mm) options depending on blade size. Shaft flex is tuned to match blade size with stiffer shafts on the XL and Large blades and more flexible shafts on Medium and Small.
ADVANCED FLOW TECHNOLOGY (AFT)
At first glance, your eyes will pop at the feature on the neck of the blade––an innovative design that we call Advanced Flow Technology (AFT) which has become a feature of our Hydro collection. It is designed to significantly increase paddle efficiency and smoothness by reducing turbulence and unwanted blade movements.
REFLEX100
CONSTRUCTION
This construction is the “premium option” for most other brands, but it falls into our mid-priced tier. The premium 24T carbon construction combines unidirectional carbon and 3k carbon twill to deliver paddlers with a lightweight, durable, and high-performance option that’ll last for many seasons.
1-PIECE, ADJUSTABLE & 3-PIECE OPTIONS
The 1-piece is the lightest and has the most responsive feel while the 2-piece adjustable and 3-piece adjustable extend the functionality of the paddle and deliver an exceptional paddling performance. With 30cm of anti-twist adjustment the adjustable models encourage paddle length experimentation and enable sharing. The 3-piece features our HEX join system which securely locks the shaft in place and offers a 1-piece look and paddling feel but in a convenient package for storage and travel.
