Designed for touring on rivers and lakes, the Vertex Tour offers a balanced blend of performance and comfort — slightly more blade area and power than the Wave, yet still efficient and lightweight. It underwent a full redesign in 2021. It retains its large blade surface and optimized shape but is much lighter. It features both length and angle adjustability via a reliable clamp lock (Vario-lock).

The polished fibreglass shaft provides a smooth feel and helps prevent blisters compared to coiled versions. Durable nylon-fibreglass blades feature a slight dihedral for improved catch and fine edges for smooth paddling.
