RiDE - Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics
Introducing RiDE by Yamaha. The world's first dual throttle handlebar control system. RiDE is easy, fun and intuitive. Pull the right lever to accelerate and the left lever to decelerate and for reverse. Release the levers for neutral. Pull them both, or in any combination, and the system reacts with precise control. Operation is simple with no manual shifting, no gears and no complicated processes. To compliment the innovative RiDE system, an electric trim switch is within easy reach of the rider's thumb. Benefits include enhanced handling and smooth deceleration.
Lightest Hull and Deck in the industry - NanoXcel2
Yamaha's SVHO powered watercraft are now even faster, thanks to the introduction of NanoXcel2. A nanotechnology-engineered material that is even lighter than the previous version while maintaining the structural integrity the material has come to be recognized for. To create NanoXcel 2, Yamaha engineers innovated at the microscopic level using a combination of “nano” clay and glass micro-bubbles to develop a new stronger resin that uses less material. The glass micro-bubbles used in NanoXcel2 are smaller and stronger than other filler materials, contributing to the strength, rigidity and lightweight of the new hulls and decks. NanoXcel2 reduces the weight of the FX SVHO models by 20.8kg, a total weight saving of over 50kg over traditional hulls - making NanoXcel2 hulls, decks and liners the lightest in the industry.
Super Vortex High Output Supercharged 1812cc engine
The new SVHO engine produces approximately 20% more power than before, and features improved cooling, more efficient intake, and stronger forged engine internals. The new, larger Hyper-Flow jet pump helps turn that power into electrifying acceleration, and the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) gives smooth and efficient power output.
Forged Pistons
Newly designed forged pistons are 30% stronger; aiding in performance and reliability.
Cruise Assist & No Wake Mode
By setting a consistent engine speed, Cruise Assist reduces throttle fatigue – making towing and long tours more comfortable, while No Wake Mode™ caps the WaveRunner's speed, allowing for seamless navigation through slow-speed zones.
