Ready to upgrade your pedal drive experience? Meet the FlexDrive Mark IV.

The FlexDrive Mark IV stands out in the market, featuring an auto-retracting lower unit for shallow waters, a versatile three-position dagger board, and a sealed pedal system that operates effortlessly in both forward and reverse. These innovations are backed by Jackson Kayak's renowned warranty and top-notch customer service.

With improved speed, smoother operation, reduced noise, and enhanced durability, the FlexDrive Mark IV gives you the engine you need to fish further, longer, and harder.

FEATURES
  • Faster than ever. Our latest upgrades have made the drive more efficient, and that allows us to use a more aggressive prop for faster speeds.
  • 3:1 pedal drive input, fed into a 4:1 spiral bevel gear input.
  • Smoother. The new belt-driven system and increased diameter in the FD cable pedals smoother than all previous versions.
  • Quieter. Upgraded bearings keep the drive whisper-quiet.
  • More durable. Industry-tested technology makes the FD tougher than ever.
  • Virtually maintenance free. The upper unit is now in a sealed oil bath, so no more topping up the grease. All you need to do is make sure it is rinsed after every outing.
  • Tested tough. We've logged hundreds of hours of saltwater and freshwater testing. Every drive is checked and double-checked for quality.
  • Two-year manufacturer warranty.

    Fastest Drive Around

    Fastest pedal drive on the market and the only one that can self stow if it comes into contact with anything. No other pedal drive can compare. Period

    Fast and Smooth

    This pedal drive is the best I have ever used! It is extremely efficient and powerful. I have used this system on my local rivers and been able to hold position easily in current. As well as being able to move around very efficiently this drive is very smooth! Love it!

    FASTEST PEDAL DRIVE ON THE MARKET!!! PERIOD!!!

    The Flex Drive Mark IV is the fastest pedal drive on the market! With a bicycle style motion for instant forward and reverse, a lower unit that is built with a skeg style for ultimate tracking, to literally flex up and down if you hit something in the water, and to being able to find tune how shallow or deep you want the drive to go just by grabbing the lever on the lower unit and adjusting accordingly is a game changer and is a unmatched design! Jackson Kayak, you knocked it out of the water with this drive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for people with previous Flex Drives! You'll feel like you're in a brand new kayak! Very low maintenance and no grease gun required!

    Mark IV flex drive

    By far the best peddle system out there. The convenience of being able to access the prop easily and quickly is invaluable for weedy areas. Smooth, strong and reliable. Great design upgrade Jackson.

    Flex Drive Mark IV

    I am highly satisfied with with my new drive train. It is a bit lighter than the original that required regular lubrication. It seems slight faster and is definitely somewhat smoother. My only tests have been in windy water without clear sailing. Happy that I received it; although, instructions for installation would be helpful, especially concerning the different design of the front anchor bar with screw-down nuts.
