Hobie claims a gain of 10% efficiency. Bearings are almost always better than bushings creating less friction.
I can ship if you call me with a credit card and your shipping address.

OEX Sunset Beach, authorized Hobie dealer, OEX Mission Bay can't sell Hobie products.

Is there an issue with sand in the bearings for those who beach launch frequently?

I can not imagine Hobie releasing these without totally putting them through the ringer. They certainly did not have to make these changes to sell more kayaks. They seem to strive to improve their offerings.

Andy hooked it up....now maybe I can keep up with Bert, when I'm gassed on the way back in, hoping for that 10%....I'll keep you posted on the swapped parts and let the team know what it feels like compared to the regular V2 components.

Thank you Andy, my wife just sent me a picture of the package as it just arrived. Talk about the fasted shipping ever! I'm going to toss them on tonight, and give it a test run.
