Riot Quest 10 HV

Open Cockpit Recreational Touring Kayaks

The Riot Quest 10 HV is a recreational touring kayak that features a very large open cockpit design, that creates an easy way for paddlers to enter and exit the kayak. This kayak has a wide, flat hull shape, which results in the kayak having a high level of stability, giving peace of mind in leisurely situations. The Quest 10 HV is most appropriate for a laid-back and casual paddling style, making it a great option for paddlers looking to take their time exploring a local river, canal, or lake.

A defined v-shaped bow helps the kayak keep a straight line when cruising across the water, allowing the paddler to effortlessly steer and manoeuvre the kayak. The kayak's compact size proves advantageous for manoeuvring in tight spaces, and also provides considerable ease of storage and transportation off the water. Based on our experience selling this kayak, we would say that the Quest 10 HV is best suited for paddlers that weigh between 70-90 kg. Smaller paddlers are usually better suited for the Quest 9.5, and larger paddlers will typically favour a kayak similar to the Enduro 12.

The Riot Quest 10 HV has some convenient features to make exploring the water more enjoyable, such as the large storage space at the rear for carrying extra equipment. Inside the spacious cockpit, the Quest 10 has been outfitted with Riot's Flex Light seat system, which features an adjustable backrest and foot pegs to obtain the best fit. A flotation airbag has been pre-fitted behind the foot pegs to minimize the space available for water to enter, in the event of a capsize. Another notable feature are the two flush-mounted fishing rod holders, which are particularly useful for some light fishing.

Please note: We do not offer a spray deck that is compatible with this kayak, as the cockpit size is much larger than a typical sit-inside kayak.
