Hobie MirageDrive Drum Plastic (Version 1)
The Drum Plastic Mirage (SKU: 81171001) is a genuine Hobie replacement component engineered to keep your MirageDrive system performing at its best. Designed with Hobie’s signature precision, this drum ensures smooth pedal operation, long‑term durability, and dependable performance on the water.
It all started with what we now refer to as the Classic MirageDrive, of which there have been several official versions; V1, V2 and GT (Glide Tech). “Version 1” is a fairly loose term in many ways, because what most people know as the actual V1 drive is not really the original design. The very first MirageDrives were built with stainless steel sprockets and battened fins. These were few and far between, however, and by the time Hobie had achieved any notable market penetration the design had already evolved into V1. We still see some of the very earliest drives in use today, although most of the very early adopters will have what we call a V1 drive. Very few of the original components for these drives are still available, although they can be fitted with newer components (with a few caveats). Current GT (and previous V2) drums, chains and cables are not compatible with V1 drives and are no longer available. So if you need to replace a drum, chain or cable on a V1 drive then you really need to upgrade each of those components to the newer GT spec. Hobie have a kit available for this, fittingly called the V1 to GT MirageDrive Drum Upgrade Kit, which provides 2 x GT drums, 1 x GT Idler Pulley, 2 x V2 Chains and 1 x V2 Idler Cable.
