Pyranha ReactR Large Whitewater Kayak
Two planing surfaces, total control of your line
The ReactR's Pivot Hull Philosophy places a perfectly positioned pivot point between two planing surfaces, one ahead and one behind. The paddler switches between them on the fly to dial in pitch and direction at any speed.
- Dual planing surfaces with a centered pivot point
- Real-time pitch and direction adjustment mid-rapid
- Bow lifts over obstacles while the tail holds your line
Rides higher and drier through the rapids
An innovative rocker profile minimizes sidewall pressure for quick course corrections and clean eddy entries and exits. High bow and stern edges deliver agile, predictable carving with smooth edge transfers.
- Rocker profile for fast eddy entry and exit
- High bow and stern edges for predictable carving
- Tail stays on the surface running downstream, then pivots fast
Lighter, more connected, easier to adjust
The ReactR is the first Pyranha to ship with the all-new Elite Outfitting, engineered specifically to optimize control of the progressive hull. It drops boat weight while improving comfort and connection.
- Reduced boat weight versus previous outfitting
- Improved connection and on-water control
- Tool-free adjustability for a dialed fit
Built for long days and longer carries
Added depth in the cockpit rim plus shoulder and hip padding make the ReactR comfortable to wear all day and easier to shoulder on the trail.
- Deeper cockpit rim for a secure, comfortable fit
- Shoulder and hip pads for support on the water
- Easier, more manageable portages between rapids

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this kayak
📞 Call 1-800-442-4837 for shipping information and cost.
The Pyranha ReactR Large rides higher and drier in rapids, screams into eddies faster than ever, and finds your line without limitations. Pyranha's most innovative design yet, the ReactR opens new doors in creek and river running for kayakers of all abilities.
At the heart of the ReactR is an entirely new hull concept featuring a perfectly positioned pivot point and two planing surfaces — one forward, one aft — that the paddler can switch between with ease. The result is a boat that's stable landing a drop on the bow and equally confident planing out of features on the tail. This isn't just a kayak; it's a statement about Pyranha's commitment to leading the charge and progressing the sport through design innovation.
