Features
Mirage Drive 180: The Hobie kayaks are famous for their Mirage Drive pedal system. This system consists of a pair of pedals that drive two rubber fins side to side to propel the kayak forward. The revolutionary Mirage Drive 180 allows you to pedal in reverse, all at the pull of a toggle! The Mirage System is silent while pedalling and creates no splash, it also allows you to effortlessly pedal the kayak with your feet while keeping your hands free, perfect for fishing and photography.
Equipped with ARC pedal cranks that adjust with the push of a button to accommodate users from child size to tall adults. The drive system features ‘Glide Technology’ with roller bearings found on the major pivoting components of the drive, for a smoother and easier pedalling experience. 2020 Models are fitted with ST Turbo Kick Up Fins for worry-free pedalling – if you strike an object with the fins they simply kick up out of harms way to help reduce the chance of damage.
