NRS Bighorn I Raft Frame
The NRS Bighorn I Raft Frame is a versatile choice for day-trip paddlers seeking flexibility and ease of use. Its adjustable design lets you position your cooler or dry box in front of or behind the rower, adapting to your preferred setup. Built with modular construction, this frame assembles quickly and breaks down effortlessly for transport or reconfiguration between sport-rowing and gear-frame modes. Engineered from durable, maintenance-free materials that resist rust, it's designed to deliver reliable performance for decades of adventures—whether you're loading a bush plane or storing it in tight spaces.
It assembles easily and quickly, forming a solid and stable platform. Breaking down a frame for transport and/or retrofitting a gear frame into a sport-rowing frame is easy due to the modular design.
