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, so read carefully to ensure you make compatible choices.
Our 5cm adjustable handle lets you easily change the overall length of your oar by adjusting the outer grip in or out on the handle.
Fixed composite handles are available in one size with Ultralight shafts only. Choose fixed length handles only if you are certain you will not need to change the length of your oars.
Traditional basswood handles are available in three sizes (39 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm) with ultralight shafts only. Choose wood handles only if you are certain you will not need to change the length of your oars. Wood handles can be sanded or scored as desired.
