From a barn in Vermont to boathouses around the world, Concept2 oars have been continuously improved over the years. We call it the tinkerer’s evolution.
Since 1976, we’ve scrutinized every detail to build better oars. From materials and manufacturing processes, to reducing waste, and, of course, relentless testing. As Co-founder Dick Dreissigacker says, “The three principles of product design are: test, test, test.”
It’s this commitment to continuous refinement that drives us forward, and why we strive to create the best oars in the world for our customers and community.

For decades, rowing innovation has followed a simple principle: increase blade area, reduce slip, and improve performance. From the Smoothie2 to the Fat2 and now the Comp, Concept2 blade design has steadily evolved with the goal of transferring more of a rower’s effort into boat speed.
However, new on-water research published in Sports Biomechanics in early 2026 suggests these assumptions are more nuanced. In a study by Dr. Valery Kleshnev, three Concept2 sculling blades, the Smoothie2, Fat2 and Comp, were tested under real rowing conditions using identical shafts allowing the effects of blade design to be isolated. Read more below:
Blade Efficiency vs Boat Speed: What Really Matters? For decades, blade design has focused on efficiency and reduced slip. New research shows the link to boat speed is more complex than expected. Read the full story.
