Hobie Mirage iTrek

The MirageDrive GT features Kick-Up Fins that automatically retract upon impact with submerged objects like rocks or logs. This allows you to navigate shallow areas without damaging the drive system.

The iTrek is designed with a wide, pontoon-style hull and triple-chamber dropstitch construction, which provides a very stable platform. While it is primarily designed for seated pedaling, the width offers enough stability for most users to stand comfortably in calm water.

With the included high-pressure pump, most users can have the iTrek fully inflated and rigged for the water in about 10 to 15 minutes. The dropstitch material is rigid once inflated, so it requires a firm pressure to reach optimal performance.

Yes, portability is a key feature. The entire kayak, including the MirageDrive and seat, packs down into the included rolling travel bag, which fits easily into the trunk of most standard sedans or SUVs.

The MirageDrive system is significantly more efficient than paddling, allowing you to cover more distance with less fatigue. Because it uses your larger leg muscles, you can maintain a consistent cruising speed for longer periods than you could with arm-based paddling.

The elevated nano-mesh seat is designed specifically for long sessions. It keeps you off the floor of the kayak, provides excellent lumbar support, and the mesh material allows for airflow to keep you cool and dry.
