Maximum Stand Up Performance
A direct descendant of the original JET SKI watercraft, the 800 SX-R benefits from over 30 years of vigorous development to make stand up riding easier for beginners and more exhilarating for the pros.
It produces 80 horsepower from a highly tuned 2 stroke Marine engine. Sits in the water at just 180 kgs. And provides unmatched handling performance thanks to its race proven FRP hull.
Beginners will love the SX-R for its user-friendly handling and easy starts while pros will love it for its up-rated engine performance and awesome, easier turning ability. The 800 SX-R = Maximum stand up performance, from racing to freestyle fun.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
|
High Performance Engine The twin-cylinder, dual-carb 781cc engine boasts potent power and responsive acceleration right across the rev range. High flowing exhaust ports and optimum port timing contribute to great overall performance. | |
|
Advanced Hull Design Advanced hull design increases straight line and turning stability. The fibreglass hull also boasts incredible stability, making boarding and rough water riding much easier for beginners and experienced riders alike.
| |
|
Exceptional Turning Performance While the hull design increases stability, it has not been at the expense of the 800 SX-R’s exceptional cornering performance. The days of needing to lean at extreme angles are long gone. | |
|
Quick Planing The combination of a powerful engine and advanced hull shape means the SX-R accelerates quickly, starts planing sooner and is very stable in rough water. Racers will love the quick starts, while beginners will appreciate how easy it is to get up and going. | |
|
Large Cockpit In addition to its aggressive new styling, the deck features a large, wide floor area which makes the machine easier for new riders to master and gives experienced riders more flexibility and manoeuvrability.
| |
|
High Deck Fins Topped with impact absorbing rubber, the high side deck fins make it easier for riders to leverage their arms when boarding and gives experienced riders improved leg bracing while cornering. | |
|
Reduced Rider Fatigue The state of the art handle pole pivot has been designed to effectively reduce forward/backward movement at handlebar level. This significantly reduces rider fatigue during extended riding. | |
|
Stylish Engine Cover The engine cover not only looks awesome, it also offers easy access to the engine compartment, making it a breeze to install performance parts and to perform maintenance. | |
♦ Integrated floatation cells make the SX-R virtually impossible to sink ♦ A full-circumference bumper gives the ski an aggressive look and helps protect the hull ♦ An easily accessible bilge drain plug eases after-use draining ♦ The choke and fuel tap are within easy reach of operator ♦ Fuel tank capacity is a generous 18 litres with a state of the art fuel cap ♦ Wrist lanyard automatically stops the engine when the operator falls overboard ♦ Top of handle pole is covered with thick polyethylene foam ♦ Oversized pistons are available to take the engine out to a full 797cc
