Reviews

"The RX should win the Versatility award. They're stable, solid performers that do just about everything, and do just about everything well. . . The boat's biggest attribute would be the RX hull, top deck, and seat design. That hull is confidence inspiring and aggressive, but not enough so that you'll question whether to add your children in the passenger seat. It's stable at rest as well as at top speed, and bites a corner with predictable authority. . . In terms of acceleration, those engines (130hp 950cc) top the charts, with Orbital Fuel Injected DI posting a 1.91-second 0-30 (mph) run . . ."

"The RX has long been praised by Personal Watercraft Illustrated for its great handling. . . It will turn right where you want it to. So if you want to turn on a dime, it will do it. The craft will give just as much as you want it to. It turns great on smooth water, and it plows through the chop effortlessly. . . Of all five craft in this test, the RX is the only one that featured reverse. Not only was the reverse system welcomed by our test riders, it worked well and its operating lever was well positioned. . . The ergonomic design of the RX is great, its turning capabilities in all water conditions are definitely good, and the rider confidence level was very high on this craft. It's definitely a great craft . . . "
