The 2021 MirageDrive GT with patented Kick-Up Fin technology is the pedal drive that comes with the Mirage iTrek series inflatable kayaks, the Mirage Passport series and the Hobie Compass Duo (note the Compass Duo also comes with one of Hobie's MirageDrive 180 with Kick-up Fins).
Weighing in at under eight pounds, the MirageDrive GT produces efficient power using your legs. Logs? No problem. With our patented Kick-Up Fin technology, the fins automatically "kick-up" when an obstacle is hit. The dual fins provide shallow water access and easy shore landings by simply pushing one pedal forward. The cranks adjust with the push of a button to accommodate users from child size to tall adults.
In 1997 Hobie revolutionized kayaking forever.
Experience over 20 years of innovation perfected.
Hobie’s bioengineered MirageDrive propulsion system for pedal kayaks was revolutionary in its inception in 1997 and has been evolving ever since. The MirageDrive GT propulsion system with all new Kick-Up Fin technology is included in the 2021 Mirage Passport models. The 2021 Mirage Compass Duo features one MirageDrive 180 and one MirageDrive GT. The MirageDrive GT was also included in 2020 model single Mirage Compass kayaks.
