Universal Mini Pod

Universal Mini Pod

SKU: FD283

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.

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

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. See FAQ below for more.

Will the Universal Mini Pod fit my mast?

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.

Which motors is the Mini Pod compatible with?

The Mini Pod is compatible with V2 Motors with a removable cable. The Inner Pod mounts directly to the V2 Motor using the four included M4 x 16mm bolts.

Do I need any tools to install it?

Almost none. The strap and latch system is completely toolless. The pod can be attached or removed in seconds once on your mast. The only exception is the one-time mounting of the Inner Pod to your motor, which requires a tool to drive the four M4 x 16mm bolts. After that, you're good to go without any tools.

Do I need to tape my motor cable to the mast?

Yes. The included Mast Cable Guide helps route your motor cable neatly, but you'll also need electrical tape (not included) to secure it to the mast. This is important for a smooth, vibration-free ride. Check the system manual for full taping instructions.

How do I know which strap size to use?

Match the strap size to the chord width (widest point) of your mast: Small for 95–110mm, Medium for 112–128mm, and Large for 130–145mm. The measurements are printed directly on each strap for easy reference. When inserting the strap into the pod, the printed side should face away from the mast. If you're unsure, most masts in the market use the Medium strap.

What performance improvements should I expect?

The Mini Pod's smaller profile reduces wetted surface area compared to traditional universal mounts, which lowers drag and turbulence around the motor. Riders typically notice improved motor traction, smoother surface motoring, easier take-offs, and cleaner touchdowns on recovery.
