The Xcell X 5 Elite Sweep Oar and Scull
- The X 5 Elite is our ultimate range of flat-water sweep oars and sculls for rowers demanding the very best for an outstanding competitive performance.
- We offer a range of spoons that are stiffer with less deflection than our standard as fitted spoons. Please ask for details and prices.
- All components are manufactured in the U.K using Xcell’s own product tooling and engineering designs, coupled to CAD-CAM controlled manufacturing processes.
The Loom
- Highest quality 100% carbon fibre roll wrap lay-up.
- Unique “Twill” double-wrap carbon fibre overlays to the areas of maximum stress along the loom so providing addition strength without incremental weight.
- Loom construction has focused specifically upon achieving a stiff carbon shaft of exceptional lightness and impact resistance.
The Spoons
- Constructed with a high density epoxy foam core.
- Biaxial, unidirectional carbon fibres cured in epoxy resin with a minimal amount of E-glass fibres.
- Epoxy gel-coat hard finish to professional competition yacht standards.
- Spoons can be spray finished to any colour and with competitors club or sponsor logo design. Please request quotations for spraying and club logos on application with order.

Sleeves and Collars

- Sleeves in “dayglo” yellow: Collars (buttons) are black.
Fixed Wooden Handles
- Made only from best quality Tulip Wood uniquely for Xcell.
- Xcell recommend sweep oars with fixed handles as adjustable handles can loose power as efficiency is reduced through the lateral movement at the point of the adjustable handle connection.
- Adjustable handles can however be supplied upon request.
