The Adventure Kit is perfect for adventure and touring bikes where the mirrors are kept up most of the time. This mirror offers the widest field of view, and is ideal for riding paved and dirt roads.
Double Take Adventure Mirror:
- Virtually indestructible, glass filled Zytel used for mirror body selected for toughness, resistance to UV and temperature fluctuations, with a lack of vibration.
- Outstanding visibility - SAE spec convex lens increases field of view without sacrificing detail.
- Reflector Dimensions: 5.25" x 3.5" (135mm x 95mm).
- Overall length 7" (175mm).
- Position anywhere- No matter what your bike or position, you can set the mirror to give you the best view.
Double Take Base Mount:
- Ball is 1.125", and even that small increase in diameter vs a 1" ball, makes a big difference in rigidity—all else being equal, the joint is 42% stiffer than a 1" ball. This means you don’t have to overtighten the arm to keep it from moving while riding.
- Ball has a large diameter aluminum core with a thin coating of high-quality nitrile, so it stays round and keeps steady pressure on the arm, which avoids movement at either end of the system.
- No-crush ball technology means the mirror does not require frequent adjustment, while still pivoting out of harm’s way in the event of an impact.
- The universal ball comes with mounting bolts for multiple applications.
- Lock washer that secures the ball in relation to the bike, so the mount doesn't spin.
- The entire mirror can be taken off without tools, leaving just an unobtrusive ball.
Double Take Arm:
- The clamping surface at the base has radial ridges to hold the ball more securely. These ridges prevent the arm from unintentionally rotating relative to the base, but without mechanical interference that could be damaged under impact.
- Asymmetrical arm and large diameter base, combined with a longer and lower profile thumb nut, means you won’t have to crank down so much to keep the mirror in place.
- Because the ball diameters are different, the clamp is located off center toward the mirror. The larger base diameter creates more stiffness on the bottom, and the offset clamp grips the mirror tighter to equalize rigidity. The whole system has been engineered together to keep the mirror from moving, except when it has to in an impact.
- Arm comes in two lengths, 3.5" (90MM), OR 6" (150MM). The shorter 3.5" version is optimized for aggressive riders on smaller bikes, the longer 6" arm gives a great view to the rear on bigger bikes and around luggage.
- Mirror end 1" socket works with any 1" ball accessory (GPS, camera, etc). 1.125" base is only compatible with 1.125" oversized ball.
- The ball joints will give way in a crash and thus protect you, your bike and lever perches, and the mirror.
