Hobie Mirage iTrek 9 Ultralight

Lightweight Inflatable Pedal Kayak

Portable kayaking fun just got a whole lot easier with the Hobie iTrek series and if you are looking for a lightweight kayak then the iTrek 9 Ultralight is your ticket to fun on the water! Weighing in at just 16.8 kg / 37lbs fully rigged including the Mirage Drive, Seat and Rudder, you can be sure that carrying and transporting this kayak is very easy! The whole set up will fold away and pack down into a handy storage bag for easy storage. A great choice for summer getaways, holidays abroad and campervan expeditions, or for those who just want it easy getting onto the water.

The iTrek 9 Ultralight features a durable inflatable dropstitch hull, allowing for high inflation pressure and a near-rigid feel to the hull once inflated. This provides excellent performance nearing what you can get with a rigid kayak. The iTrek is supplied with both a high-pressure hand-pump and a high-volume electric pump giving you options for easy inflation. Simply clip on the seat and rudder, slot in the Mirage Drive and you are ready for fun on the water! The EVA standing pad offers grip and comfort underfoot when not pedalling.

Equipped with a Mirage Drive GT with Kick Up Fins, this drive system keeps things simple for ease of use and for easy maintenance. Featuring Glide Technology (GT) where roller bearings are used at pivot points for a smoother pedalling experience. The Kick-Up Fins automatically kick up out of harms way if you strike an underwater object, which in turn reduces the chance of damaging your fins. The pedal crank arms are adjustable to allow for users of various heights to use the iTrek.

Pedal in comfort with the raised mesh seating system, offering tilt adjustment so you can kick back and relax as you pedal. The seat can also be used as a beach chair! Controlling the rudder system is super easy too. The steering controls attaches to either the left or right hand side of the seat. The rudder is simply deployed and hauled by pulling a cord. At 2.87 m / 9' 5" in length, the iTrek 9 is particularly agile on the water and turns on a sixpence! Perfect for navigating small waterways or exploring those tight spots. Deck bungees are fitted to the stern allowing you to secure down any gear you may wish to take. Convenient carry handles are also fitted at the bow and stern to make for easy carrying or pulling whilst on a cart.

The rolling storage bag comes with an extension handle making transporting the packed down kayak easy... great for expanding your horizons and travelling via air or train to new kayaking locations!
