ML0897 - After testing the Malibu vRide, WaterSki Magazine noted: What Malibu considers entry level, others would consider top-of-the-line. What can we say? Our engineers dont like the word compromise. So the Malibu vRide has precision pro speed control and the Illusion X wakeboard tower as standard features, just like our more expensive boats. The 500-pound Malibu Launch System (MLS) is standard as well enabling you to take your riding to that next level without feeling the pinch in your wallet. More than you ever expected, for less than you think.
