Using nanotechnology, our engineers were able to create a high-strength, lightweight material called NanoXcel. This material is exclusive to Yamaha and allows us to make the hulls and decks of select 2008 models 25 percent lighter and even more durable than in previous years – improving the power-to-weight ratio significantly and increasing responsiveness, acceleration and top speed. Yamaha is also the only manufacturer in the personal watercraft industry with full-scale high-compression molding capabilities. Every Yamaha hull and deck is constructed to exact tolerances, maximizing strength and durability. Laser-guided water jets and advanced robotics ensure every Yamaha hull and deck is built with extreme precision.
