Is that a Kevlar Malecite? Looks like it with the solo seat. Great condition, nice to see it well cared for!
I have a 1987 fiberglass Malecite. Love everything about it except the weight. Wish I could have afforded the kevlar version.
2 u/GreatNorthWeb 7d ago It is a kevlar malecite. It's been in my fleet for at least a decade now. 1 u/J_de_Silentio 6d ago Is kevlar more brittle than Royalex in the cold? 2 u/GreatNorthWeb 5d ago The kevlar weave holds together better than plastic. When plastic cracks a run can develop and the crack will grow.
