hobie pedal drive Hobie Mirage Drive MD GT Kickup

Add the ease of Kick Up fin technology to your Hobie kayak with the latest Mirage Drive GT Kick Up drive assembly. Unlike previous versions of MirageDrives, the new Kick-Up fins literally kick up in the event of impact so you can skirt over obstacles with breeze and reduce the chance of fin damage. 

The Hobie MirageDrive GT Kick-Up drive features the updated fin shape which is noticeably more efficient offered with previous GT drives. And thanks to the Kick-Up system they are likely to last a lot longer before needing to be replaced as well (and say goodbye to bent masts).Hobie have also redesigned the sprocket for this drive, which no longer relies on an outhaul block to attach to the fin, reducing friction of movement on the sprockets. This has made the pedaling noticeably smoother and more efficient than previous GT versions. In fact, this is without question the smoothest MirageDrive Hobie have ever built.
