Take Yamaha’s HPDI system and combine it with tournament-proven engineering — and then stand well back. Because that’s the formula behind the shattering acceleration and performance of the Yamaha Vmax models. These highly optimised engines are designed to deliver breathtaking ‘out of the hole’ acceleration and blistering top speeds. Every aspect of the design — from the special water inlets to the unique concave skeg and the Peak Response Induction System — is geared for performance. This is where Yamaha’s long experience in 2-stroke racing really shows!

Hit the throttles and feel the power catapult you out of the hole. Feel how quickly and effortlessly the boat comes onto the plane. And then you’ll realise why Yamaha introduced HPDI right across the Vmax family. Quite simply, it’s an unstoppable combination.

Yet, beneath the street-fighter aggression of these engines, you’ll find the polished good manners of a Yamaha. Every Vmax HPDI will run clean and smooth, with excellent fuel economy for its power. It will be quiet, too: barely audible at idle, with a restrained growl when pushed hard — proof yet again that when you’re this big and powerful, you don’t need to make a whole lot of noise about it.
