Gibbs Quadski XL Top Speed and Engine

Used Quadski Amphibious XL, A powerful and fuel efficient BMW Motorrad K1300 engine is the driving force behind the Quadski. With this 140hp engine, the Quadski XL can reach a top speed of 45mph on both land and water. What makes this so impressive is that it shares the same top speed with the classic Quadski despite weighing significantly more.

Although 45mph isn’t the fastest top speed in either the atv or pwc worlds, it’s pretty acceptable to say the least. Given the size and weight of this amphibious vehicle, it’s not nearly as bad as it could be.
