Vibe Kayaks Impulse Drive Gear Kit
Speed when you want it. Power when you need it. This re-gear kit lets you swap your Impulse Drive gearing to match conditions—cover water faster, or add low-end torque for current and wind.
- ✅ Three ratios included: 6:1, 8:1, and 10:1 for power, balance, or speed.
- ✅ Tools in the box: Everything you need to perform the swap.
- ✅ Quick change: Re-gear in minutes and feel the difference immediately.
- ✅ Built for adventure: Parts and hardware designed for real-world use.
How the Ratios Feel
- ✅ 6:1 (factory standard): Lowest effort, best for steady cadence, current, or long hauls.
- ✅ 8:1: Balanced speed/effort for all-around pedaling.
- ✅ 10:1: Highest prop RPM per pedal turn—faster travel with more pedal effort.
Compatibility & Notes
- ✅ For the Vibe Impulse Drive: Used on compatible Vibe kayaks (e.g., Shearwater 125, Makana 100).
- ✅ Install tip: Follow the manual; mind the small parts (e.g., water filter) when opening the drive.
- ✅ Full instructions: See the Impulse Drive Re-Gear Kit Manual (PDF/online).
