Mirage drive but no reverse. It's 20lbs less than an outback and will sell at I've heard $1,500 but I've seen $1,949.

Honestly, I'm not impressed. If it didn't say Hobie, I don't think it would get much buzz. If I was in the peddle yak market and I was looking at the $2k range or less, I like the layout of the wilderness system radar much better and the perception pescador pilot better. That said, Hobie's mirage drive is a trusted peddle system while other companies are working out the kinks.
