Great alternative to high-end drive shafts
Vadim The Drummer 30.08.2026
I bought the Nighthawk Shaft because the Trick UDS wasn't in stock and the waiting time was quite long. I've used Trick drive shafts before, so I thought it would also be interesting to try something different.

So far, I'm very impressed. The Nighthawk feels like a very solid upgrade, not only compared with standard stock drive shafts, but even as an alternative to the Trick shaft. It is noticeably thicker and feels extremely strong and well built. The nuts and connections also feel very solid.

There is no backlash or latency in the shaft. The movement feels direct, smooth and precise, and the slave pedal responds exactly as I would expect.
Overall, I'm very happy with it. If you're looking for a high-quality replacement or an upgrade from a standard drive shaft, I would definitely consider the Nighthawk.

Perfectly fine
Denis Dimitrov 01.04.2026
I'm perfectly happy with this shaft. It's fully made of aluminum, but I don't think it is 6061, because the tightening nuts leave imprints on the shaft. There is absolutely zero movement, fitment is amazing. It brought the feeling I want, and I use it daily for several months. Definitely recommend it.
