Best Lightweight Kayak On The Market? Hobie Lynx Review & Features
Florida Sportsman Executive Editor Jeff Weakley shares his honest opinions of his Hobie Mirage Lynx in this kayak review. After owning his Lynx for a few years, he shares what he loves about this unique lightweight pedal-driven craft in this Hobie Lynx full review.
Relish the power of pedal propulsion, in both forward and reverse. The effortless speed of the MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Fins combined with the streamlined, sleek hull of the Lynx make for a truly epic ride. Kick it up a notch, as you swiftly skim across the water's surface, carving turns and leaving the world behind. The Lynx's flat-bottom design provides confidence-inducing stability and ultimate maneuverability. Less is more when it comes down to construction. Lightweight materials meet optimal performance with ACE-TEC Technology that is tough enough for weekends off the grid, exploring uncharted waters, and a good thrashing at the lake with your kids. Weighing in at only 48 pounds and equipped with rear-loading skid pads, easily throw it on the roof of your car for uncomplicated transport. The best seat in the house, designed for comfort with breathable, mono-mesh, elevated to keep you dry all day. The wide bow creates a smoother ride and ample storage for your gear. Meticulously crafted with molded-in tracks and an accessory mount, make it yours with a Sail Kit, Bimini Sunshade and other upgrades. MSRP: $3,299
