2026 Malibu TXi MO

TXi: Official Towboat of the IWWF

The icon of tournament waterskiing is still on top—and pulling further ahead. The Malibu Response TXi remains the boat skiers trust for their best passes. Built on the exclusive T-Cut Diamond Hull™, it delivers the soft wakes, crisp handling, and dead-straight tracking that have pushed personal bests and fueled 13+ world records.

For 2026, the TXi gets a major upgrade at the helm. A redesigned dash and all-new Garmin touchscreen gives drivers faster, clearer control of every function, while the new windshield improves visibility for a more confident pull.

On the water, the TXi’s consistency is unmatched. Advanced Rudder Control, Zero Off GPS, and Malibu’s precision tracking deliver the reliable pull skiers demand—whether it’s a training set or a record run.

Chosen as the official towboat of the IWWF, the Response TXi continues its legacy at the top of the sport. The TXi is built to pull champions — that’s the Truth On The Water™.
