The Kanto is a midrange rated 5/5/0/2. Zero turn with a 2 fade suggests a straight flight with a light finish to the left for a right-hand backhand. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking turnover lines or a strong, early fade. Exel describes it as a straight-flying, beaded midrange with a light end fade that holds its throwing angle and can take a hard throw without being too stable for a newer player, and prints the same rating on its stamp. Exel's product page explains that kanto is the Finnish word for a tree stump. The PDGA approved the Kanto on 9 May 2022 (22-77). In a January 2024 interview with Frisbeegolfmedia, Exel's chief executive said the disc business had been put on hold, and the brand's store listed every Kanto colour as sold out in September 2026. TryDiscs lists it in Muovi.

Reviews

2 reviews from 1 store

The Exel Discs Kanto has only 2 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
