WAKE PLUS HULLThe 22 MXZ's hull creates larger wakes to maximize wakeboarding and surfing. When combined with Malibu's Integrated Surf Platform (ISP), the Wake Plus Hull easily transforms monster wakes into massive surf waves.
REVERSIBLE WAKEVIEW REAR BENCHThe WakeView seating provides extraordinary luxury and accessibility for all of your passengers. The WakeView rear bench goes from forward-facing to rider-facing in a snap, with minimal effort.
RECONFIGURED REAR LOUNGE AREA INCLUDING WALK-THROUGHThe walk-through transom maximizes accessibility from the swim platform to the transom, helping keep your interior in pristine condition.
ENGINEMoving a loaded boat at steady watersports speeds with the Power Wedge II Hydrofoil deployed takes a lot of torque. That's why Malibu exclusively uses 6.2-liter Monsoon V8 engines for its entire line that can generate up to 575 foot pounds of torque for select models.
INTEGRATED SURF PLATFORM (ISP)Malibu's industry-leading ISP starts with Model-Specific Performance Hulls and incorporates the Quad Hard Tank ballast and patented Power Wedge II and Surf Gate for best-in-class performance. Control every element of ISP with the touch of a finger on the Malibu Command Center and our exclusive Surf Band wrist remote.
