RTM Makao Frog Comfort Sitontop Kayak

RTM Makao is an improved, modernized version of the highly successful Mambo. The previous Mambo kayak was supplemented with a double-sided oar holder, a factory-integrated and fold-down seat backrest, a water-tight recliner and more robust lockable grips at the front and back. The Makao Deluxe Wheel version rolls on its own corner, so it does not require a sitontop cart. Its geometric parameters are completely identical to Mambo.

The creator of RTM Mambo is RTM is a French kayak company its quality is market-leading in Europe, not the same quality as the Seaside Chinese copies. A large multi-sport store operating in our country also manufactures RTM Mambo kayaks, but the RTM Mambo kayaks 20% we import are thicker-walled, stronger, and made of original American Dupont plastic colored in material, while the pieces manufactured for the department store are made of a much less UV-resistant, milky-white base, mixed with dye. it is made of material that does not match the original real Mambo material.

If I had to think about which is our most versatile SITONTOP overall, I would say the Mambo. This is true because the flat water recommendation is 100%, the sea/lake recommendation is 100%, I can take it to the Danube, Tisza, Bodrog, but they can go hiking with it, for example also for all Slovak wild waters.
It is probably one of our best recommended small kayaks for Lake Balaton, Lake Velence, Lake Tisza.
Its shape is similar to a trimaran, its keel is firm and has a large displacement - therefore it also has good steering. My 6-year-old daughter could already row independently. At the same time, it can be used for up to 130 kg people.
It was no coincidence that it was the kayak of the year in Europe in the small compact category.
It moves nicely, it holds its ground in almost any wave.
In the small category, only one Sitontop is competitive with it, that is RTM Paseo.
I took it as a joke to the Slovenian river Soca and paddled the entire rafting section with him. It is essentially uncoverable. It is very transportable, two can be sunk into each other, and even on the roof rack of a small Polski you can head to Balcsi or the Adria. DeLuxe version with super strong 5mm wall thickness.
