The Grabner XR Trekking is a versatile inflatable boat suitable for relaxed paddling on lakes and sheltered coastal waters as well as for touring on flowing rivers. Its robust construction with voluminous side tubes provides excellent stability and strong resistance to capsizing. Thanks to the flat hull design and the slightly raised bow and stern, the boat glides smoothly over waves and remains well controlled even in choppier conditions.
Space and flexibility
With its consistently wide interior, the XR Trekking offers plenty of room for gear and allows for flexible loading. The side tubes are equipped with attachment strips that add stiffness to the boat and enable precise trimming – especially useful when adjusting the setup depending on the type and length of the tour.
Paddling options and handling
The XR Trekking can be paddled with both a single-bladed paddle and a double-bladed paddle, making it extremely versatile in use. Depending on the seating configuration, it can even be paddled like a kayak. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for paddlers who want to explore different paddling styles or alternate between solo and tandem use.
Whitewater capability and optional equipment
For whitewater up to grade 3, the Grabner XR Trekking can optionally be equipped with self-bailing drain holes that reliably release water from the boat. This keeps the handling predictable and safe even in more demanding sections. Overall, it is a versatile, durable and adaptable inflatable boat that suits paddlers across a wide range of experience levels.

The Grabner XR Trekking comes standard with two robust wooden seat boards that ensure a stable and comfortable seating position. The package also includes a repair kit for minor damage, a valve wrench and an overpressure adapter, ensuring you are well equipped for maintenance and safe handling of the inflatable boat.
In addition to classic accessories such as a paddle, air pump or personal flotation device, we also recommend adding D-rings for the Grabner XR Trekking. These allow you to securely attach a kayak trolley or fasten additional equipment, offering a practical solution for tours with more gear.
As the XR Trekking can be paddled very efficiently solo with a double-bladed paddle, choosing the right paddle is particularly important. We are happy to help you select a double-bladed paddle that matches your body height, paddling style and intended use.
With a suitable air pump, the Grabner XR Trekking can be set up in just a few minutes. Before inflation, the seats are mounted to the boat to ensure a secure and stable fit. The XR Trekking features three air chambers – one floor chamber and two side chambers – each inflated to 0.3 bar. Thanks to its straightforward setup, the boat is ready for use quickly, allowing you to get on the water without delay.
The Grabner XR Trekking can be paddled solo with a double-bladed paddle or used as a tandem inflatable kayak. Its generous length and open hull design provide excellent legroom and balanced weight distribution, making longer touring distances comfortable. With ample storage space for gear, the boat is well suited for day trips as well as short multi-day river tours.
The Grabner XR Trekking is suitable for whitewater up to grade 3, offering sufficient reserves for sporty river sections. Its robust construction and agile shape ensure that the boat remains well controlled and responsive even in moving water.
The Grabner XR Trekking is made from high-quality Grabner rubber material, regarded as one of the most durable materials in the inflatable boat segment. The thick, vulcanised rubber fabric is extremely abrasion-resistant, UV-stable and resistant to ageing, making it ideal for rocky river sections, frequent beaching and years of whitewater use.
The welded seams and substantial material thickness ensure that the boat retains its shape and airtightness even after many seasons. As Grabner supplies all components individually, replacement parts can be ordered without difficulty even after long-term use. This makes the XR Trekking one of the most robust and durable hybrid canoes on the market.
Despite its robust rubber construction, the Grabner XR Trekking can be folded down compactly and stored in the transport bag. Weighing 20 kg, it remains easy to carry and can be transported to the water comfortably either solo or by two people.
Thanks to the fast-drying rubber material, the boat can be packed away quickly after use. When folded, it fits easily into the boot of many cars, making it an excellent choice for travel, weekend trips and flexible use on a wide range of waters.
