1260 Air Rider RIB

The 1260 Air Rider Rib is now available from LeisureCat’s factory in Malaysia in both aluminium and GRP construction.

This brand new design incorporates all the best parts of the excellent AIR RIDER hull shape, with those of the inflatable collared RIB vessel.

Powered by 4 x 300 HP Suzuki Outboards, with high speed gear casings and semi cleaver propellers, the engines are mounted on jacking plates allowing the engines to lift and achieve the very best speed and trim.

But wait, there’s still more ... It has a double berth below decks, 6 bolster seats in the cockpit, quad bike storage on the foredeck, kayaks on the roof.

First launched in 2008, the vessel showed excellent performance cruising at 37 knots in 2 metre seas and 20 knots of breeze.

The key to the vessel’s performance, aside from the AIR RIDER hull, is the fact that it has been fitted with ‘Jacking Plates’ which allow the motors to be raised dynamically.

Coupled to this is the fitting of specialist semi surface piercing propellers which allow the engines to be run at increased height, without being prone to cavitation of the propellers. (Click an image to see a large popup.)
