Universal Mini Pod

A toolless, instant latching, universal motor pod that reduces drag, improves ride feel, and makes mast swaps fast and screw free.

The Universal Mini Pod redefines universal mounting through reduced surface area and drag, ease of use and ultimate compatibility. Install is simplified thanks to the toolless strap and latch system, the Mini Pod can be installed or removed in seconds, making it ideal for riders chasing performance enhancement while remaining fully removable and adaptable.

The low profile shape of the Mini Pod adopts the smaller form factor of integrated masts while remaining 100% removable, meaning it’s the perfect upgrade if you’re seeking full adaptability, simpler install and improvement to ride feel without committing to an integrated mast.

Details

A three part design features an Inner Pod that mounts to the V2 Motor, and a removable Outer Pod that intentionally deforms to the shape of your mast, much like the existing pod. These two components slide onto the mast and are then secured in position with a EPDM, Aramid Fibre reinforced Rubber Strap (3 Size options included).

The smaller size minimizes wetted area, reducing drag and turbulence commonly found in traditional universal mounts. Riders will notice improved motor traction, smoother surface motoring, easier take-offs, and cleaner recovery with touchdowns.

Tech Specs

Install Type: Toolless and instant-latching. Inner Pod requires one time mounting to the motor using provided M4 x 16mm mounting to the motor using motor-mounted).

Strap Dimensions: Dimensions are a guide only and can be used against the width (chord) of your mast. Small: 95-110mm Medium 112-128mm and Large 130-145mm are provided. MOST masts in the market utilize the Medium Strap. See FAQ for more on mast compatibility.

Materials: The Outer and Inner Pod are injection moulded from ABS, built to handle sun, salt, and repeated use. The straps are EPDM rubber reinforced with Aramid fibre, giving them the strength and flexibility to hold up against typical UV degradation and saltwater environments.

Mast Compatibility:
True universal compatibility requires a high level of customization without the need of additional adaptors. To achieve this, the three rubber straps have been specifically measured to fit almost every mast currently in the market*! Alongside these three lengths, the Inner Pod features a “Ladder” style adjustment system with 7 positions. Once you have selected your strap length, move the Strap up or down the ladder to adjust tension specific to your mast. A simple solution to a complex requirement that leads us to full customization and compatibility.

* While the Universal Motor Pod has seen extensive R&D and testing, there will be some masts that fall outside of compatibility due to their unique size or shape. The Mini Pod is designed to fit almost every mast on the market. Three strap sizes (Small 95–110mm, Medium 112–128mm, Large 130–145mm) combined with a 7-position ladder adjustment system on the Inner Pod give you a wide range of fitment options. Most masts use the Medium strap. If your mast falls outside these dimensions or has an unusual shape, we recommend visiting your nearest dealer to check fitment in person.
