The Bullitt X... much closer
resembles and behaves like the IC Bullitt.
The stern has been modified, with slightly more rocker and a narrower tail. This results in a significantly snappier change of direction..
easier to rapidly change direction and cutback on a dime. Handling
wise, the Bullitt X is more similar to the Merlin than the Bullitt S. The increased rocker, together with a modified deck and softer forward rails, make the boat much more forgiving on steep
re-entry. This means you can take off later, go harder off the lip, and snap roundhouses on smaller waves without fear of pearling the nose and getting worked. The forward deck modification, in particular, makes a dramatic difference - it sheds water really well and doesn't get stuck underwater.
In all, the narrower front end and softer rails combined with slightly increased tail rocker make the “X” much snappier, giving the feel of a much shorter boat. It is equally at home with or without fins. Paddle out and take off speed have not been compromised and the ability to punch out over big heavy beach breaks, or catch and get a ride on 1 foot of slop, make this the perfect all-round kayak.
Great competition quiver boat.
