The problems were significant enough that a member of the Northwest Kayak Anglers Forum produced some solid aluminum pedal arms and sold them to members of the forum. Quite a few years ago some owners of Mirage Drive kayaks complained about repeatedly breaking pedal arms. I'm really tempted to upgrade to a Revo 13 with a more updated drive but wanted to make sure that would likely resolve the breakage issues before dropping that kind of money. Given the distance I cover and speed, could I expect fewer breakages with a more streamlined kayak like the Revo 13?ĭo I just need to slow down? It's tough when the fish are biting, and I want to get there quickly. Which drive is the least likely to snap a mast/pedal? Have drives gotten stronger with time? I kayak in a large body of salt water, often covering >15 miles in a day and sometimes hitting a little over 5 mph in a Mirage Compass-which is the likely cause of all the breakage.
Between the two, I've broken more than 10 turbo masts, snapped 3 chains, broke an idler pulley, and snapped off 3 pedals. It has since been stolen, and I replaced it with a v2 and a GT (to ensure at least one works all the time). Comes standard with a two-piece aluminum paddle.I used to have a kick-up drive with turbo fins and never had anything break on it. Upgrade with a sail kit or bimini sunshade with the vertical accessory tube.
