Bigger Engine

The twin-cylinder, dual-carb engine has been bumped up from 741cc to 781cc for improved power and greater acceleration right across the rev range. Reshaped exhaust ports and revised port timing have also contributed to greater overall performance.

New Hull Design

A completely new below-waterline design and approx. 75mm longer and 50mm wider than the 750SXi Pro, the new hull boasts greatly increased stability, making boarding and rough water riding much easier for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Exceptional Turning Performance

While the new hull design has increased stability, it has not been at the expense of the 800 SX-R’s exceptional cornering performance which easily matches the impressive SXi Pro but without the need for extreme lean angles.

Quicker Planing

The combination of more engine power with an improved hull shape means the SX-R accelerates quicker, starts planing sooner and is very stable in rough water. Racers will love the quicker starts, while beginners will appreciate how easy it is to get up and going.

Larger Cockpit

In addition to its aggressive new styling, the deck features a larger, wider floor area which makes the machine easier for new riders to master and gives experienced riders more flexibility and manoeuvrability.

Higher Deck Fins

Topped with impact absorbing rubber, the reshaped side deck fins are now higher, making it easier for riders to leverage their arms when boarding and giving experienced riders improved leg bracing while cornering.

Reduced Rider Fatigue

The handle pole pivot has been raised roughly 30mm to alter the pole’s lean angle and effectively reduce forward/backward movement at handlebar level. This significantly reduces rider fatigue during extended riding.

Reshaped Engine Cover

The reshaped engine cover not only looks awesome, it also offers improved access to the engine compartment, making it easier to install performance parts and to perform maintenance.
