Adaptable Steering System

Working closely with our pro riders we developed tilt-adjustable race-inspired, motocross style handlebars. You can keep them low for tight circuits or high for stand up and long distance riding.

Race-Ready Deck Design

The deck design delivers improved rider ergonomics with deep and wide self-draining footwells and a seat design that improves knee grip and overall comfort. The hull features Yamaha's cutting-edge deeper V-shape Keel, modified hull strakes and softer bow chines, delivering excellent stability, nimble handling and precise responsiveness.

Race Performance

The race designed intake grate and jet pump allows less turbulent water to flow through the jet pump. The result is better acceleration and less cavitation in choppy water conditions. * Prior year model colour shown.

Launch and Cornering Control

The seat comfortably seats three people. Separation of the front and rear sections makes maintenance and access to under-seat storage easy.
