Top athletes around the world rely on Concept2 oars, with 64% of Gold medal-winning crews at the Rio Olympics were won with Concept2 oars and sculls.
Since bringing carbon fibre oars to the rowing community over 40 years ago, Concept2 has continued to revolutionise the sport of rowing with increasingly efficient oar designs.
We know from riding a bike that things go better if you are in the right gear. The same is true for rowing.
The length of the oar, along with other variables like spread (distance from the centerline of the boat to the oarlock), blade size, blade type, inboard (distance from the handle end to the collar), catch angle, and so on, determine the boat gearing, or “rigging.”
Concept2 oars can be ordered in adjustable or fixed lengths to help you achieve a comfortable, effective rig.
Achieving a comfortable, effective rig is the key to keeping the load reasonable and getting the most out of your oars. In general, we recommend setting your sweeps or sculls shorter when rowing:
The following table outlines our typical oar length recommendations for sweep and scull. Custom lengths with 5cm ranges are also available.
