With the JetBlaster DLX, Yamaha is taking its fun model to a new level - both visually and technically. Our author reveals what the Waverunner is particularly suitable for.

While the classic JetBlaster Pro stands for fast turns, wheelies and an extra portion of ruckus on the water, the DLX variant brings more equipment, a little more maturity - and above all more control into play. The tried-and-tested TR-1 High Output three-cylinder engine with around 100 hp remains the central drive unit in the DLX model. It delivers immediately responsive power and a pleasingly agile temperament. Especially in combination with the lightweight hull, this ensures very lively handling - ideal for tight bends, jumps or simply for playfully dancing across the water.

Tuned driver cockpit

Ergonomically revised footrests, a seat with a better grip and an overall more harmonised rider cockpit. This makes a particular difference if you ride more actively and switch more often between a standing and sitting position. The JetBlaster DLX feels more grown-up as a result, but clearly remains on the playful side.

Wheelies with the Waverunner

Also included: Yamaha's RiDE system, a small waterproof storage compartment, as well as a clever trim that lowers the rear a little if necessary - perfect for wheelies and fun tricks. The DLX has also gained in appearance: A new colour design, clearer lines and a sporty matt finish clearly set it apart from the standard model. On the water, everything remains the same - in the best sense of the word. The JetBlaster DLX is lively, easy to handle and simply fun. But with that little extra comfort and control that can really make a difference in the long run. There is also a tow hook for water skiers.
