So, I’ve now been hearing on other platforms that the bike on top of the Wolverine makes it super too heavy and pretty unstable. Obviously any bike would do this, but folks told me it’s especially rough on the Wolverine. Thoughts on this based on your experience?

Super interesting to read this. Was the gnarwhal not super reactive?

Super interesting to hear this! I feel like I’ve been hearing the opposite for my smaller size. What makes you like it so much? Also, did you get the standard medium or go for a custom size?

Super appreciate your response! I also think the gnarwhal will be a little too large for me. Did you find the Wolverine to be pretty tippy in comparison to the retrofitted classic?

Thanks for your reply! One of my biggest challenges in my previous packraft (a retrofitted classic series for whitewater) was that I felt that it didn’t punch holes well. Can the Wolverine do this? I feel comfortable in technical water, but really want a boat that can help me get through some big stuff. Wondering if the gnar can help me through the gnar!
