MirageDrive 180
The Hobie MirageDrive 180 is an efficient, durable drive that features forward and reverse. Designed with high-end components to withstand fresh and saltwater and the obstacles you will face in both scenarios.

To adjust your peddles, press the buttons at the top of the cranks and slide forwards or backward for the most comfortable fit. To engage forward or reverse is as easy as pulling the red reverse shifter or the green forward shifter, as easy as that. Installing your 180 Drive is as easy as dropping and locking it into place. There is no need for extra work and hassle with hardware or other tools. With the right technology, Hobie has created a kayak all anglers will love.
