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. The glide technology reduces friction in the drive providing a smooth and powerful peddling experience. One of the ultimate tools of the MirageDrive 180 is the Kick-Up Fin technology. This revolutionary design allows you to come fin to fin with obstacles in the water without slowing you down. When you come into contact with the bottom, rocks, and stumps, the fins will easily kick up and lock back in place so you can continue peddling. These durable square-tip fins slice through the water swiftly and effectively, getting you where you need to go. Operating and adjusting the 180 Drive is simple. 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. Simple to maneuver and navigate, experience the Mirage Drive 180 for yourself in one of the finest kayaks on the market.
