Liquidlogic RMX 96: Maximum buoyancy, speed, and safety for larger riders
RMX 96: No More Compromises for Big Guys
The acronym RMX (Remix Mutated) represents the best of both worlds: the old-school style of long, fast boats and modern, aggressive elements for creeking. The 96 version (96-gallon displacement, or an impressive 363 liters) is the largest boat in this family. It was specially designed for heavy and tall paddlers weighing between 82 and 127 kg. Forget the feeling of drowning in rapids or not being able to fit into a boat with long legs. The RMX 96 provides the massive buoyancy needed to survive giant rollers, keeps you afloat even with heavy expedition gear, and yet, thanks to its slimmer profile, it retains an agility that other giant creek kayaks can only dream of.
Fuselage and Hydrodynamics: A Flat Tank That Flies
The hull design is a masterpiece for big, wild water:
- Planing Hull (Flat Bottom): Despite its enormous size, the RMX has a wide and completely flat bottom. This allows the heavy boat to accelerate surprisingly quickly, glide fantastically across the water’s surface, and rotate in place with minimal effort.
- Sharp Edges (Chines): The distinct edges on the sides of the board allow for aggressive carving. This makes it easy to maneuver the large board by leaning into the turn—it cuts precisely where you need it to.
- Solid Bow Rocker: The massive bow lift ensures that the boat has a natural tendency to rise over obstacles. Boofing waterfalls and breaking through rollers is incredibly dry. The boat clears the “hole” without the bow digging dangerously deep into the water.
- Optimized stern: The stern of the boat doesn't slow it down; it cuts through the water smoothly and provides tremendous stability when hitting the water after drops.
Outfitting BadAss: A Luxury Chair for Extreme Conditions
If you're going to spend hours or days on an expedition in your boat, comfort is just as important as safety. The American company Liquidlogic has equipped the RMX 96 with its renowned seating system BadAss Outfitting:
- Seat: Heavily padded with quick-drying material. It perfectly absorbs impacts and eliminates back pain and fatigue, even for heavier riders.
- Foot and thigh rests: Fully adjustable thigh rests provide 100% contact for steering the boat. The front bulkhead is designed for long legs; it is sturdy and features a foam layer to protect the ankles in the event of a collision with a rock.
Suitable activities and field deployment
The Liquidlogic RMX 96 is a heavy-duty weapon designed for:
- Creeking and Steep Creeking (WW IV–V): Steep rapids, waterfalls, and massive bodies of water, where every liter of displacement makes a crucial difference for larger riders.
- Expedition (Self-Support): Thanks to its load capacity and the enormous space inside the shell, you can easily pack a tent, a sleeping bag, and enough food for several days.
- River Running as a Sport: For heavier paddlers who want to actively navigate rivers, hit eddies, and enjoy speed without losing stability.
About Liquidlogic
The Liquidlogic brand is based in North Carolina, right on the banks of the legendary Green River. The RMX series was developed and tested right there in the iconic rapids known as the “Green River Narrows.” Liquidlogic boats are characterized by top-of-the-line, extremely hard polyethylene and an innovative approach that always emphasizes functionality and rider safety.
Caring for a Polyethylene Shell
The kayak is made of premium high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which offers extreme durability under heavy loads. To maximize its lifespan, store it away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV rays. After paddling in dirty water, rinse the backrest mechanisms with clean water. Due to the kayak’s heavier weight and the paddler’s weight, regularly check that the screws on the outfitting are tight.

Expert advice: The RMX 96 is a boat that will plow through obstacles like a tank, but that doesn’t mean you should just sit back and ride along as a passenger. With such a large, flat-bottomed boat, active paddling is absolutely essential. Don’t be afraid to really lean this big boat over when you’re heading into a eddy—thanks to its speed and rocker, the RMX carves through turns with incredible aggression. When landing from waterfalls, keep your center of gravity aggressively forward; the massive front rocker and displacement will bring you back to the surface almost instantly. This is a boat that will give you the courage to try even what you were previously afraid of!
