SEA-DOO EXTENDS STATUS OF RACING DYNASTY WITH SIXTH CONSECUTIVE PRO OPEN IJSBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

  • RXP-X wins premier Pro Open world title for sixth straight year
  • RXP-X wins Pro GP world title for sixth straight year, filling podium
  • 2017 Sea-Doo SPARK TRIXX watercraft generates buzz among event guests
Repeat Pro Open Champion - György Kasza

The Sea-Doo X-TEAM continued the domination of world finals watercraft racing, claiming 11 championships*, nearly double that of the closest competing brand. György Kasza of Hungary continued to build the Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft dynasty with his repeat win in the premier Pro Open class bringing the total in that class to six years running. Kasza was joined on the podium by RXP-X mounted racers Mohammed Burbayea of Kuwait and Jun Ikoma Funabashi of Japan for a Pro Open clean sweep for the Sea-Doo X-TEAM.

Also adding to the dynasty is the sixth consecutive PRO GP championship win with Waleen Alsharshani taking the win with  James Bushell of the UK taking the runner-up spot on his Sea-Doo RXP-X followed by fellow X-TEAM rider Erminio Iantosca of the US, filling out the podium. The event, attended by the top riders in the world, proved the dynasty of performance dominance lives with the Sea-Doo 300-HP watercraft models. The 2017 Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 and RXT-X 300 come equipped with a new ROTAX 1630 ACE engine, that together with the new Ergolock system, allows riders to enjoy more performance, confidence and greater control to push limits even further.

dsc00462Event guests were also buzzing about the new Sea-Doo SPARK TRIXX, the new watercraft from BRP that provides a new way to play on the water. Guests were able to test ride the new TRIXX model and qualify for the TRIXX Trial Competition in which the finalists were given 90 seconds to show off their best tricks for the opportunity to win a Cyclops action sports camera. The TRIXX Trials Competition will be featured in an upcoming video on Sea-Doo social media channels.

In connection with the IJSBA World Finals was the Sea-Doo Ultimate Owners Ride VI that drew 75 participants. Sea-Doo owners were led on a 45+ mile round trip from Site 6 launch ramp in Lake Havasu City, AZ, under the historic London Bridge and up the Colorado River to Pirate Cove Resort and Marina in Topock, CA. Riders from as far as Ontario, Canada took part.

SEA-DOO WAKE MODELS TAKE TOW SPORTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

SEA-DOO WAKE MODELS TAKE TOW SPORTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PERFECT BLEND OF COMFORT, FUN AND FUNCTIONALITY

BRP continues to offer the right watercraft for every type of watersports enthusiasts with two tow sports specific models in the 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215.

Both 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE models receive the new, second-generation Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) providing a more responsive activation and faster braking. The WAKE PRO 215 model is redesigned with the adapted Ergolock seat for greater rider and passenger comfort.

Sea-Doo watercraft have been part of the wake board and wake skate scenes since their respective inceptions as the tow vehicle of choice for elite watersport athletes as well as providing the perfect instructional tow vehicle for amateurs and enthusiasts. The Sea‑Doo tow sport watercraft provide the best wake towing capabilities and are equipped with exclusive features developed specifically for tow sports such as Ski Mode, a removable wakeboard rack and a retractable ski pylon with spotter handles and rope strap. The exclusive Sea-Doo iBR system has also become a valuable tool for tow sports enthusiasts as the intuitive system provides added control for quick turn-around to pick up downed skiers. The second-generation iBR provides a more responsive activation through an improved gearbox motor and larger, reengineered brake gate. The new iBR reduces the stopping distance by close to 48.75 m (160-feet)1.

DCIM100GOPRO

BRP extends its support and long-standing relationship working with the NIKE wakeskate team riders to promote alternative watersports with Sea-Doo watercraft and to continually improve the WAKE models with engineering input. The tow-sport specific Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and WAKE PRO 215 models maintain their position as the watercraft of choice for elite NIKE wake skate team riders Ben Horan, Andrew Pastura, Nick Taylor, and Silas Thurman. In 2016, the Sea-Doo WAKE models continue to make a personal statement with new coloration and the WAKE PRO 215 rider environment being redesigned with the Ergolock seating and increased storage capacity.

Both 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE models include the exclusive Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) system and speed-based Ski Mode to fit wake boarders’ and wake skaters’ needs. This exclusive feature is engineered to make every driver an expert driver with the ability to program the acceleration curve and target speed for a consistent, perfect pull every time. Learning to ride behind an iControl technologies-equipped Sea-Doo watercraft is easier, less intimidating, and more economical than behind a traditional powerboat.

2016 SEA-DOO TOW SPORTS MODELS

  • WAKE PRO 215
  • WAKE 155

2016 SEA-DOO WAKE PRO 215

pro

The Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215 model is designed for power; pro calibre tracking and the best watercraft tow specific components and performance on a larger platform, making it the ultimate towing watercraft. For 2016, the WAKE PRO 215 receives a redesigned rider environment with the adaptation of the Ergolock seat that features a narrower driver saddle area and larger lumbar support for greater driver comfort and confidence. The addition of the new Ergolock seat design delivers the benefit of additional wet storage under Sea-Doo’s exclusive removable watertight storage bin for over three times more total storage capacity than the previous generation with 162 liters (42.8 US gallons) and a new larger glove box. The new design also includes new handlebar grips with palm rest for greater driving comfort.

Based on the S3 hull with a deeper V shape, the Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215 model offers solid straight-line tracking during rider edging and greater comfort during extended treks over open water. The WAKE PRO 215 includes added horsepower that provides extra torque to get up on the water quicker thanks to the supercharged Rotax engine and when fuel conservation is desired, it comes standard with the ECO Mode. The 2016 WAKE PRO is equipped with the new, second-generation iBR system for an industry leading level of manoeuvrability and always starts in neutral for ease of loading and unloading at the dock or picking up a downed skier.

For 2016 the Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215 will also wow boarders with new White and Denim Blue Satin colorization and WAKE graphics. Additional features include a retractable ski pylon with spotter handgrips, removable wakeboard rack, fold-down reboarding step, Ski Mode, tilt steering, high-performance VTS and watertight removable storage bin.

2016 SEA-DOO WAKE 155  

155

The WAKE 155 model is ideal for those riding in smaller bodies of water, providing a nimble, versatile ride in moderate chop and includes room for up to three riders. The WAKE 155 model is built on the award-winning GTI platform and offers a nimble, yet predictable ride, on a smaller hull. In addition to Ski Mode, that allows the ramp acceleration and set speed to be programmed, this model includes iControl and ECO mode. The intuitive second-generation iBR is the industry’s first braking system and ensures quick-turnarounds for less down time and more ride time.

DCIM100GOPRO

The 2016 WAKE 155 comes equipped with a large swim platform with a fold-down reboarding step, mirrors, and the watercraft industry’s only WAKE package including; Ski Mode, retractable ski pylon with three positions and spotter handles, and removable wakeboard rack. It features class-leading comfort and storage with 116.6 litres (30.8 US gallons) of usable space and adorns the all new White and Belize Blue colorization and WAKE graphics.

NIKE wake team riders of Horan, Pastura, and Taylor use BRP’s Sea-Doo WAKE watercraft exclusively, logging over combined 3,500 hours of use. Watch these riders in action with their Sea-Doo WAKE models in the NIKE “DOO IT” wake video shorts that can be seen in the Wake section on Sea-Doo.com and on the Sea-Doo YouTube channel.

SEA-DOO PUSHES PERFORMANCE WATERCRAFT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

BRP takes performance riding to the next level once again with the introduction of the new 300-hp Rotax 1630 ACE engine in the 2016 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 and RXP-X 300 and the integration of the race-proven Ergolock seat on all RXT models.

The new Rotax 1630 ACE engine is bigger, more efficient and delivers more power with a boosted 300 hp, becoming the most powerful engine ever produced by Rotax. The Rotax 1630 ACE has a longer stroke compared to the Rotax 1503 and features a new supercharger with a faster spinning 32-blade wheel producing 30% more intake boost1. Adding to the power producing efficiency is a reengineered cooling system that is improved by 33% in part from an additional heat exchanger and more efficient engine oil cooler. New ignition curves have been developed to efficiently match the increased air boost with the output of the larger fuel injectors leading to a 15% increase in horsepower and the industry’s best power-to-weight ratio in the 2016 RXP-X 300 model.

This new engine also features a new plasma coating technology for aluminum-block engines developed by a Rotax team in Gunskirchen, Austria. The plasma coating technology is a thermal spraying process that deposits a protective coating on engine cylinder liners to create a metallic layer that provides a hard and durable surface to withstand piston friction forces. It improves surface durability, while keeping the engine lighter and more compact with better heat transfer and superior performance, and reduced use of chemicals.

The race-proven Ergolock seat is now available on all RXT models for 2016 and allows riders to hold onto the watercraft better by using their stronger leg muscles to squeeze the narrower seat, thus improving control and reducing upper body fatigue. The 2016 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 receives the complete Ergolock system that includes the narrow Ergolock seat, the Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) handlebar and the angled footwell wedges for more rider comfort and control.

All 2016 Sea-Doo performance models will be equipped with the second-generation iBR that improves on the industry’s first, intuitive braking system with a more responsive activation. The new iBR reduces the stopping distance by close to 48.75 m (160-feet)2 sooner than deceleration without braking. The Sea-Doo iBR system is the first and only braking system recognized by the USCG since 2009 for contributing to recreational boating safety and is now even better with a stronger gear drive motor and larger, reengineered brake gate. The iBR system adds to the rider centric design approach providing maximum control in all conditions. The 2016 Sea-Doo performance models also include race-inspired features such as high-performance Variable Trim System (VTS), increased storage capacity on RXT models, new handlebar grips with palm rest and race-inspired coloration and graphics.

2016 SEA-DOO PERFORMANCE MODELS

  • RXT-X 300
  • RXP-X 300
  • RXT-X aS 260
  • RXT 260
  • GTR 215

2016 SEA-DOO RXT-X 300

The combination of the increased power and efficiency of the new ROTAX 1630 ACE engine with the advanced ergonomics of the Ergolock seat deliver a confidence inspiring ride allowing you to push your limits even further on the 2016 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300. The 300-hp Rotax 1630 ACE engine delivers more torque providing more mid-range power to help maintain momentum when riding through heavy chop where the jet pump is continually reengaging the water. The new power package provides greater throttle response in all conditions and is the most powerful engine ever offered in a Sea-Doo watercraft.

The RXT-X 300 model also benefits from the learning’s of the recent Sea-Doo closed course racing success as the race-proven Sea-Doo Ergolock system of the RXP-X has been adapted to this model. The system allows the rider to connect with the watercraft better and use his entire body to hold on rather than only the upper-body, thus improving confidence and reducing upper body fatigue. The narrower, body-molded seat, Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) handlebar and angled footwell wedges, have proven to benefit in aggressive cornering and are equally beneficial in connecting the watercraft in choppy, open-water, straight-line riding. The added ability for the rider to feel better connected to the RXT-X 300 delivers better control and less fatigue allowing the rider to utilize the available power more efficiently.

The addition of the Ergolock seat also aided in a redesign that now offers added wet storage under Sea-Doo’s exclusive removable watertight storage bin for over three times more storage capacity than the previous generation with 162 liters (42.8 US gallons) of total storage and a larger glove box. The technical flowing edges of the RXT-X model is complimented by the functionality of the stable and predictable S3 hull with adjustable rear sponsons. The RXT-X 300 watercraft is equipped with race specific features including, digital infocenter with integrated lap timer and boost indicator and high-performance Variable Trim System (VTS). It also features the second-generation iBR adding to the level of rider control with the most intuitive operation and Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) systems with Touring, Sport and ECO modes. The 2016 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 model is available in muscle colors of Lava Red and the modern Monolith Black Satin or race inspired White and Dayglow Yellow.

2016 SEA-DOO RXP-X 300

The Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft is the most decorated performance model in the last five years and is now powered by the new 300-horsepower Rotax 1630 ACE engine offering the industry’s best power-to-weight ratio performance. This new, stronger, bigger and more efficient engine takes the RXP-X 300 model to the next level as the industry’s undisputed king of performance fun. The Rotax 1630 ACE power package provides greater mid-range power for better cornering speed and produces over 1G during acceleration from a stop.

The T3 hull design allows the RXP-X 300 model to aggressively lean into corners and penetrate chop better than any of its two-seater counterparts. T3 stands for “tight-turning t-hull” and uses an advanced, dual running surface hull design with a unique combination of soft and hard chines, adjustable rear sponsons and performance trim tabs. The T3 hull combined with the Ergolock system allows the rider to lean further into corners, using more of the available power, with greater confidence and less effort to turn tighter and faster.

The Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 also receives the new handlebar grips with palm rest and intuitive second-generation iBR enhancing the level of rider control to complete the most intuitively controlled two-seater in the high-performance segment.
