Das VIK 3.8 ULTRA ist das Ergebnis intensiver Produktentwicklung in unserer Berliner Produktion. Wir haben so lange neue Materialien getestet, bis wir ein robusten Stoff fanden, der das VIK 3.8 ULTRA noch robuster und widerstandsfähiger macht, als das Vorgängermodell.
Wie schon beim VIK 3.8 PRO behalten wir unser Konzept bei: Eigene entwickelte Spanten und unser präzises Verschlusssystem VIK-LOCK werden exklusiv in Deutschland gefertigt. Das bedeutet für dich: ein schneller, absolut werkzeugfreien, unkomplizierten Aufbau.
Von der ersten Skizze bis zur finalen Produktion setzen wir auf „Made in Germany“ und kurze Lieferketten. Hinter dem VIK stecken unzählige Prototypen, damit du am Ufer nicht nachdenken musst. Du bekommst ein Faltkajak im iconic VIK look, das einfach funktioniert.

No roof racks, no stress – just you and the water. Lightweight, compact, and ready to go in 3 minutes. As the robust all-rounder of the VIK series, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA combines mobility with true performance. As sturdy as a hard-shell kayak with the flexibility of a folding kayak.
In our Berlin workshop, our kayaks are crafted from recycled polypropylene hollow-chamber panels and are coated with an ultra-water-repellent textile fabric. The result: a folding kayak that weighs 11 kg and fits on your back as a backpack, but is as stable and robust on the water as a hard-shell boat.
Whether on city waters or a secluded lake – the VIK is your durable companion.
Evening city paddles, extensive day trips, camping and vanlife adventures, plane trips to distant coasts, or spontaneous trips by train and car. It all becomes possible. The VIK 3.8 Ultra adapts to your lifestyle.
- Lightweight backpack-sized folding kayak: Only 11 kg and a packed size of 70x55x16 cm. Fits in any car trunk and on public transport.
- Set up in record time: Thanks to our innovative ratchets and the VIK locking mechanism, you'll be paddling in under 5 minutes.
- Made in Berlin: We develop and produce locally. This means short supply chain distances and the highest precision for every component.
- Sustainability without compromise: Hull made from recyclable material and robust components for a long-lasting kayak.

From backpack to water in 3 minutes
Forget complicated instructions and endless fumbling. The VIK folding system is our answer to annoying logistics. We've perfected the setup so you don't need any tools: unfold, snap in the frames, tighten the ratchets – and you're done. In less than 5 minutes, you can transform the VIK 3.8 ULTRA from a compact backpack into a highly stable folding kayak. Our specially developed locking mechanism is rock solid and guarantees maximum rigidity on the water. After your trip, disassembly is just as quick. Become a pro on the shore and spend your time where it counts: on the water.
11 kg of folding kayak freedom
Why carry heavy loads when you can go light? At just 11 kilograms, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA is a true lightweight among folding kayaks. In our Berlin workshop, we craft our kayaks using recycled hollow-core panels and a slim aluminium frame. The result: you can comfortably carry your kayak to a lake as a backpack, take it on the S-Bahn, or stow it in the smallest of campervans. With a packed size of only 70 x 55 cm, you become completely independent of roof racks or heavy trailers. You'll barely feel it on your back – but on the water, it delivers the full performance of a hard-shell kayak.
Thoughtfully designed down to the last detail: Product engineering from Berlin
The VIK 3.8 ULTRA is the result of intensive product development at our Berlin workshop. We tested new materials for a long time until we found a robust fabric that makes the VIK 3.8 ULTRA even more robust and resistant than its predecessor.
As with the VIK 3.8 PRO, we've stuck to our concept: Our self-developed frames and precise VIK-LOCK locking mechanism are manufactured exclusively in Germany. For you, this means: a quick, completely tool-free, hassle-free setup.
From the first sketch to final production, we are committed to “Made in Germany” quality and short supply chains. Behind the VIK are countless prototypes, so you don't have to think twice at the shore. You get a folding kayak with the iconic VIK look that simply works.
Product features
OpenDeck Design
Our open deck design allows for particularly easy entry and exit on the shore or jetty. The design offers you maximum freedom of movement in the cockpit and ensures an airy paddling experience without feeling restricted.
Center Stability
Thanks to the kayak's low seating position, you benefit from enormous tilt stability. You sit so close to the centre of gravity that you can steer the VIK intuitively and safely using your hips – for full control in every situation.
VIK-Fold Tech
Our innovative folding mechanism reduces a full-sized kayak to an ultra-compact size of just 70 x 55 x 16 cm. You are intuitively guided through the process – unfold, snap into place, and start paddling.
VIK-Lock System
Our specially developed locking mechanism combines security with speed. Robust ratchets and precision-engineered frame components allow the folding kayak to be assembled securely without tools in just a few minutes, so you can paddle with confidence.

VIK 3.8 ULTRA Folding Kayak FAQ
Thanks to its rigid hollow-chamber structure, the VIK offers a paddling performance that comes extremely close to a classic hardshell kayak. Unlike spongy inflatable kayaks, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA lies stably in the water and delivers efficient power transfer with every paddle stroke. In our Berlin workshop, we ensure maximum torsional rigidity for a safe paddling experience. See our comparison guide in our blog.
Our polypropylene twin-wall panels are designed for extreme durability. The material is resistant to permanent bending, meaning that the folded edges will not become brittle even after thousands of folding cycles. We are committed to producing a durable piece of sports equipment, not a disposable product – we give you our word as developers and producers.
Yes. With a packed size of 70 x 55 cm, it qualifies as hand luggage on the train. You can easily store it in the luggage racks in the ICE or in the multi-purpose compartment. This makes your folding kayak the ideal companion for paddling without a car. You can find tips for your first train journey with a kayak here.
Absolutely. Weighing only 11 kg, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA was developed specifically for this purpose. You can comfortably carry it to the shore as a backpack and set it up alone in under 5 minutes. It is the ideal tool for solo paddlers who don't want heavy logistics or help unloading from the car roof.
The material is extremely easy to care for. After your trip, all you need to do is rinse the kayak briefly with fresh water and wipe it dry. Since the VIK is UV-resistant and robust, it doesn't require any special sealing. When folded, it takes up hardly any space in an apartment or cellar – ideal for city life.
Absolutely. We are confident in the quality of our product and regularly offer you the opportunity to arrange a test paddle in Berlin, directly on the Spree. This way, you can experience the handling, weight, and quick setup for yourself before making a decision. Book your appointment here.
