VX

THE ULTIMATE ENTRY-LEVEL WATERCRAFT, WITH ALL THE FEATURES.

Yamaha engineers have created the ultimate recreational watercraft, packed with premium features and advanced technologies at a price that makes it easy for first-time buyers to get on the water and have fun.

The 2018 VX arrives with exciting new upgrades including the all new TR-1 engine. This new three cylinder power plant is perfectly matched to the VX hull and delivers increased power while significantly reducing overall weight. The improvement to the power to weight ratio delivers a more exciting ride and exceptional fuel economy.

The VX represents incredible value with technology far beyond what you would expect from the price tag. The VX features the innovative RiDE technology, a unique dual throttle control system that makes manoeuvring off the trailer and around the dock incredibly easy. RiDE also offers additional control when decelerating.

A Multifunction Information Panel, integrated mirrors and all-new chrome accents combine to make the VX the best finished watercraft in its class.

Features

RiDE - Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics

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. Benefits include enhanced handling and smooth deceleration.

1,049cc TR-1 High Output Engine

With a combination of the ultra-smooth power development, low noise, low fuel consumption and low emissions, the VX is everything today's customers and society ask for in a PWC. It measures 40% smaller thanks to the elimination of the reduction gear, an integrated oil tank, the compact ECU, and an air filter attached to the motor. The 73 kg, 1049cc engine produces 14% more horsepower than the engine it replaces, yet it's 20% lighter in weight. The result is quicker acceleration, higher top end speeds, with better fuel economy and more fun for the rider.

Complete with a glove box, under-seat storage-bucket and an easily accessed forward storage compartment, the VX caters for a class-leading 93.2 litres of storage capacity, make stowing all the day’s necessities supremely convenient.

Two-Piece Seat
