Concept2 oars are available with adjustable composite handles, fixed composite handles and traditional wood handles. The types of grips available to you depend on what handle you choose.

Handle Options

Adjustable Composite

The composite handle is the lightest handle we make. Its adjustable range lets you easily change the overall length of your oar. The Length Adjustment System uses a bonded composite handle with a structural outside grip that is capable of a 5 cm range of length adjustment.

Unique features:

Simple, three-step process adjusts oar length.
Redundant design for safety: The grip is keyed to the handle to prevent rotation.
Continuous choice of settings over the entire five centimeter range. Each turn of the adjusting screw results in a length change of approximately 0.25 cm.
Oars are marked at the handle to indicate overall length of the oar in centimeters.
Worn grips or damaged parts are easily replaced.
Low-stress, wiggle-free connection withstands heavy use and extends the life of the handle.

Fixed Composite

Fixed composite handles are available in narrow or medium sizes with Ultralight shafts only. Choose fixed length handles only if you are certain you will not need to change the length of your oars.
