The fourth model in the Rec Lite EX series the Yamaha EXR and the added ‘R’ at the name of this model is for the racing inspiration Yamaha had for this model. Lightweight and maneuverable, this entry-level performance jet ski is easy to handle whilst remaining powerful.

The Yamaha EXR is an upgrade of the EX series. This jet ski is incredibly fast, responsive, and intuitive. By keeping a lot of the popular attributes of the EX series, this jet ski is made smaller and affordable, however, the EXR is a lot faster, reaching a top speed of 54mph, at least 4mph faster than other Yamaha models. Another notable improvement is on the responsiveness compared to the EX series, this jet ski is a lot more agile making it playful and more aggressive on the water.
