A New R-Series Exterior Brings Flagship-Inspired Design Within Reach For 2027, the R Series receives an all-new exterior inspired by Bennington's award-winning DockSpeed design language. Design features including a sweeping bow profile, dynamic body lines, formed louvers, a diamond-fade grille and available accent lighting create a more sculpted, athletic appearance.

Fuel capacity is 116 gallons, with an optional dual 116-gallon configuration to allow for extended time on the water.
