Hobie Mirage Revolution 11

Hobie Mirage Revolution 11

The Hobie Revolution 11 has been intended for the smaller lighter paddler who does not need a longer kayak. Designed to be a smaller and lighter version to the incredibly popular Hobie Revolution 13 the Revo 11 is shorter in length and creates a more manoeuvrability, better handling and a lighter weight for transporting the kayak. More than capable for handling a vast array of environments the Revolution 11 is perfect for calmer waters be that inland or coastal.

The Revo 11 is a relatively short hull at just 11’6”, this equates to speedy acceleration combined with an impressively small turning circle allowing access to tight spots. This short stature allows the Revolution 11 to weigh in at less than 30kg without compromise to the primary stability.

Propelling this nimble hull is the Hobie Mirage Drive 180 pedal drive unit. This incredibly efficient drive offers the latest developments in technology and features a full powered forward and reverse option and ‘kick up fins’. To toggle between forward and reverse is super easy (the simple pull of a leaver) and allows for quick deceleration and even more agile turning, perfect for trolling or getting out of tight areas where turning might not be easy. The Kick-up fins are designed to knock up if you strike an unspotted object to reduce the chance of damage to the drive, or the impact vibrating up your legs.

Packed with features (more than just the Mirage Drive) the Revolution 11 includes an exceptionally comfortable Vantage CT seat. This seat is fully adjustable and offers adjustable lumbar support, angle pitch for both the back support and the base, height adjustment and when removed features small fold down legs to use on the beach or if fishing on dry land. For storage the Revolution 11 has ample, a large bow hatch entry combined with two 8” Twist-Lock hatches (centre and stern) allow access into the hull, a Twist-N-Stow rudder with fingertip controls on the left-hand side. Twin mesh pockets can be easily reached from the seated position and offer on deck storage while behind is a large rear tank well perfect for oversized items or indeed a fishing crate.

Loved by watersports enthusiasts, kayak anglers or folks just wanting to spend time exploring the UK’s waterways from a different perspective, the Hobie Revolution 11 is an absolutely cracking little kayak offering great speed, agility and the ability to keep your hands free for nature/ wildlife photography or fishing alike. For those wanting a higher top-end cruising speed, or to cover more distance in a given time the longerRevolution 13 is worth a look.
