Doubletake Adventure 6ft Mirror Kit 2.0 - Folding Universal Fit

Our review of the Doubletake Adventure 6' Mirror Kit 2.0 finds it best suited to riders who need a tough, adjustable mirror that stays useful when a bike is loaded or off-road. The single biggest reason to buy is durability combined with a long arm that improves rear visibility; the new uncrushable ball and glass reinforced Zytel housing make these mirrors feel built to survive crashes and long tours while the 6' arm gives a clearer field of view on adventure and touring machines.

Key Features

• Uncrushable ball: Proprietary aluminum core with high-quality nitrile rubber resists degradation and keeps the mirror stable under extended compression.
• Universal base: Oversized 1.125 in base includes bolts for most applications so fitment is simpler without adapters for current bikes.
• Improved arm: Slimmer arm with asymmetrical clamping and radial engagement ridges lets the mirror hold position while still allowing on-the-fly adjustment.
• Extended reach: The 6 in arm is longer than many rivals, providing a wider field of view that helps when carrying luggage or panniers.
• Convex reflector: 5.25 in x 3.5 in reflector with a convex lens that meets SAE and CE specs for a broad, usable view.
• Lifetime warranty: Constructed from glass reinforced Zytel and backed for life, offering long-term confidence.

Who It's For

The Doubletake Adventure 6' Mirror Kit 2.0 is aimed at adventure and touring riders who prioritize a durable mirror with excellent visibility while loaded. Riders who want something that tucks away, resists crash damage, and produces minimal vibration at higher rpm will find this a solid upgrade.

Those with very old BMWs (pre-2005) or the 2019-current Scrambler 1200 should check fitment first because additional hardware may be needed. Riders seeking the lightest, lowest-cost replacement may prefer a simpler, less robust option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very durable construction with an uncrushable ball that keeps adjustment reliable after impacts.
• Longer 6 in arm gives superior visibility for loaded bikes and touring use.
• Easy to install for most modern bikes using the included oversized base hardware.
• Minimal vibration and clear optics from the convex reflector for better situational awareness.

Cons

• May require additional hardware on some older BMWs and certain Scrambler models, adding cost and fitment checks.
• Some riders may find the premium build and warranty come with a higher price compared with basic mirrors.

Our Verdict
