LOUDON, Tenn., Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axis Wake today announced the release of the all-new 2026 Axis A200, a 20-foot towboat engineered to deliver pro-level wakes and waves in a more agile, accessible package. Designed for riders who want high-performance features, intuitive simplicity, and bold Axis style at an attainable value, the A200 is the ultimate small but mighty addition to the Axis lineup.
Measuring 20 feet in length, the A200 is compact yet powerful, bringing advanced wake-and-wave shaping technology, versatile seating, and premium design touches into a streamlined platform.

With its efficient running surface and spacious layout, the A200 is ideal for families, crews, and riders who want maximum fun without unnecessary complexity.
“This boat is all about giving riders the same world-class wakes and waves Axis is known for, but in a size that’s easier to handle, trailer, and store,” said Bec Gange, Axis Pro Team athlete. “Whether you’re just getting started or training for the next big event, the A200 delivers pro-level performance in a fun, user-friendly way.”
Key highlights of the 2026 Axis A200 include:
- 20-foot compact design that balances performance with ease of ownership
- Axis Wake™ technology suite, including Wake Plus Hull™, Surf Gate®, and Power Wedge® III for scalable wakes and waves
- Reconfigurable cockpit seating to adapt between social lounging and sport-focused layouts
- Upgraded helm with Axis surf and wake presets, intuitive one-touch controls, and improved driver ergonomics
- Premium interior touches, including hinged storage, updated panel styling, and enhanced audio integration
