The new Sea-Doo RXP-X is loaded with high performance innovation to help the rider go faster but this new benchmark in musclecraft can also turn what are routine annoyances into a day of exuberant fun!

The RXP-X 260’s ability to stop when wanted means this musclecraft can do more making what is already fun a whole lot more fun!

BRP asked successful entrepreneur and Two-Time X-Games Gold Medal barefoot water skier Peter Fleck what he thought the big difference between brakes on tradtional vehicles and brakes on a Sea-Doo was.   Fleck didn’t tell us what iBR was like but he did show us what it’s NOT like.

There are PWC in the world with horsepower. Some of it good, some of it wasted as the rider isn’t able to fully utilize it. On the throttle, off the throttle, turn, on the throttle, off the throttle, turn…and on and on.

The new Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 is the most complete high performance watercraft ever produced with the new T3 hull and ErgoLock system the rider can fully utilize the Supercharged horsepower to the fullest, but how to we really convey that to you?

BRP asked Pro Rider Cody Hawkins what he thought is was like.

 

IT’S LIKE THAT #5 “Stop n Go” with X-Games Double Gold Medal Skier debuts on Thursday, December 22 right here at OnBoard.

The new Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 features a new hull, The T3 hull. It is another revolutionary innovation from BRP, a literal, T-shape hull  With a narrow lower running surface that tracks through chop like nothing before it.  It is difficult to explain how well this new Sea-Doo watercraft handles chop.

 

BRP visited the restaurant managed by Pro Racer Eric Lagopoulos as he had an idea of how to show you what he thinks it’s like.

The new Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 sits atop an entirely new hull design, The T3 hull. It is another revolutionary innovation from BRP, a literal, T-shape hull with soft chines to allow it to lean into corners to turn tighter and faster but it is hard to explain how tight it holds the corners.

 

 

So BRP recruited 2011 IJSBA PRO World PWC Racing Champion, James Bushell to show you what he thinks it’s like.

IT’S LIKE THAT – Snap Blocks – The Sea-Doo RXP-X ErgoLock system with Troy Snyder.

It is hard to explain how good the new Sea-Doo RXP-X ErgoLock system actually works in connecting the rider to the machine and ultimately to the water.  BRP marketing gurus debated for months on how to explain how the new ErgoLock system works and the overwhelming response was you have to try it (2012 iControl Test Tour is coming) but it’s winter and we don’t have that luxury at the moment.

we asked an every day working Joe (and part time professional PWC racer) to explain it. So, we asked  “WHAT’S IT LIKE”? Troy, a business owner, husband and father recruited his son in the effort and explained it best from his front porch.

The RXP-X IS the Next Generation of high performance personal watercraft.

 

Snap Blocks is the first of a series of Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 watercraft “LIKE THAT” videos. BRP will introduce a new video every other day leading up to the holidays.

Tis’ the season….. to think warm thoughts and of Sea-Doo!

Boating in Miami is a top choice of many visitors to South Florida. Many visitors choose to beat the heat by spending a day on or under water — snorkeling or diving. Miami is known as the “Wreckreational Capital of the Americas” because of its popular artificial reefs, created by old ships, oil platforms, and army tankers that have been sunk to create an underwater wonderland of marine life and coral. Most of the reefs are within 130 feet of water and are less than two miles east of Sunny Isles, Miami Beach, and the Key Biscayne shoreline.  See Visit Florida more information on visiting or boating in Miami.
