AquaX Champion, Eric Lagopouls

Eric Lagopoulos claimed his second consecutive AQUAX series championship on a Sea-Doo GTR 215.

The championship was not determined until the final moto of the final race of the six event series, a year where the GTR 215 was the most popular model of the 250 class, Lagopoulos piloted the #361 consistently to podium spots an ultimately his second AquaX title.

After dozens of titles from around the world, Eric Lagopoulos has little to prove other than he can still win and win riding a Sea-Doo taken from the showroom floor against competitive factory supported teams. Lagopoulos has been in the sport of watercraft racing for over 20 years yet carries the youthful enthusiasm and drive to compete at the highest level of professional watercraft racing winning on what is fast becoming the sport’s biggest stage. We caught up with him to get some insight on his 2015 run.

OnBoard: Can you describe your 2015 AquaX season in one sentence?

Lagopoulos: “It was an incredibly exciting season filled with ups and downs but when it  came down to who was destined to be on top the season ended in pure satisfaction with the X-TEAM’s second championship in two-years!”

OnBoard: Why was the GTR 215 your craft of choose for the 250 class?

Lagopoulos: “The Sea-Doo GTR 215 is nimble in the surf and great in the flat and handles both with precision while being forgiving at the same time. It’s fast too and the reliability obviously helped us finish every race up front which is what you need to win championships over a grueling Aquacross season.”

OnBoard: Does the GTR 215 have an advantage over competitor models in regard to AquaX?

Lagopoulos: “I’ve had so much success on the GTR 215 in regards to Aquacross because of the different conditions each round. I mean is good in every condition. The GTR 215 is good in the flat water, good in chop, and good in the big surf races. It’s a watercraft that you can ride hard no matter where its ridden.” 

bugOnBoard: What was the most memorable moment of the year, other than the last moto of the season?

Lagopoulos: “I had a really cool moment Sunday before the races as a ladybug landed on my arm and I knew it would be my weekend!”

Onboard: That isn’t exactly what we were looking for… so lets go straight to the dramatic moment Sunday. Can you tell us what was going on in your head in the last moto when you knew you had to beat one person to win?

Lagopoulos: “I really love the mental side of the sport, so knowing I had to beat one rider for the overall championship was really exciting! I pushed the entire race from the drop of the green flag to the beautiful checkered flag and my second Aquacross championship in a row! It was a tight race figuratively and literally. The GTR 215 simply proved it’s the better overall watercraft.” 

Onboard: What’s next?

Lagopoulos: “I’m considering some really cool new opportunities in racing that I will be announcing in the near future so be sure to follow me on Facebook and on Twitter @Lagopolous and Instagram @lagopoulos1!”

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

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. The Sea-Doo RXP-X model has set the standard for precise handling and in 2016 is available in Lava Red and the modern Monolith Black Satin coloration or race inspired White and Dayglow Yellow.

2016 SEA-DOO RXT-X aS 260

The Sea-Doo RXT-X aS 260 model is perfect for the hard-core rough water or offshore rider wanting adjustable suspension set on the wave penetrating S3 hull and equipped with the new Ergolock seat for added rider connection and control. The RXT-X aS 260 model features a high output, supercharged Rotax 4-TEC engine with race-inspired features, making this the ideal, open water performer.

The Adjustable Suspension (aS) system features a compression-adjustable FOX damper and mechanical spring preload adjustment mechanism providing full rider suspension calibrated for heavy offshore conditions. The RXT-X aS 260 model boasts heavy sea condition enhancements including: adjustable trim tabs and bow stabilizers integrated with the S3 hull to give the rider greater stability and control at speed.

Sea-Doo X-series watercraft are the only models equipped with standard race-inspired features including: custom steering system with A.E.S. and handlebar grips with palm rest, adjustable rear sponsons, and digital infocenter with boost indicator and lap timer. The RXT-X aS 260 model comes in new Lava Red and Monolith Black Satin coloration and also adds the intuitive second-generation iBR and adds iTC systems with ECO mode to compliment the most full-featured performance watercraft in the industry.

2016 SEA-DOO RXT 260

BRP’s 2016 Sea-Doo RXT 260 model is ideal for the weekend performance enthusiast looking for an exhilarating experience during longer rides. The new Ergolock seat is now available on the RXT 260 model for added control, comfort and confidence in all conditions with a form fitting design for the driver and passengers.

The 2016 RXT 260 with new 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 2016 Sea-Doo RXT 260 model comes equipped with all the benefits of the Sea-Doo exclusive iControl technologies including new second-generation iBR for more responsive activation and faster braking. The exclusive BRP iTC system allows customizable power delivery modes including ECO mode. The RXT 260 model features the S3 hull for improved handling and stability, touring and sport mode calibrations for linear power delivery or more aggressive acceleration, tilt steering with integrated digital infocenter, high-performance VTS, hinged seat for easy engine access, watertight removable storage bin and fuel consumption displays among many more. The 2016 RXT 260 is available this year in Black and Sunburst Yellow coloration.

2016 SEA-DOO GTR 215

The 2016 Sea-Doo GTR 215 model is arguably the most versatile performance model in the industry by lowering the barriers for enthusiasts to enter the Sea-Doo performance family with more technology and flexibility than comparable competitor watercraft at an affordable price.

The GTR 215 model is the preferred model of choice for 250 class as the reigning AQUAX US 250 class champion3. This model is based on the nimble yet predictable handling of the GTI platform while offering more power from its supercharged Rotax 4-TEC marine engine for a superior power-to-weight ratio. The 2016 Sea-Doo GTR 215 will be spotted in the lead pack in Black and Sunburst Yellow coloration. The GTR 215 watercraft is also fully equipped with the Sea-Doo iControl technologies including the iTC and second-generation iBR system, allowing the rider to reduce the stopping distance by close to 48.75 m (160-feet) for greater peace of mind. The Sea-Doo GTR 215 features: integrated infocenter, high-performance VTS and 116.6 liters (30.8 US gallons) of storage.

ERIC LAGOPOULOS WINS THE JACKSONVILLE ROUND OF AQUAX ON HIS SEA-DOO GTR 215

ERIC LAGOPOULOS WINS THE JACKSONVILLE ROUND OF AQUAX ON HIS SEA-DOO GTR 215

Eric Lagopoulos continued his 2014 unbeaten streak in the AQUAX 250 class by sweeping all three mottos on his Sea-Doo GTR 215 taking his season total to six consecutive moto wins. Lagopoulos was joined on the podium by fellow GTR 215 mounted racers Sean Hagan taking second and Tim McKercher rounding out the top three.  The Sea-Doo GTR 215 is arguably the watercraft industry’s best keep performance secret as BRP‘s lowest price performance model that is fast with predictable handling yet very forgiving in unpredictable conditions. The GTR 215 model is proving itself as the ultimate mid-range performance watercraft.

The P1 AQUAX racing series continues to grow in popularity as the second round of the US tour took center stage near downtown Jacksonville, Florida in front of an estimated 10,000 race fans over the weekend. After the season opener in the surf of Daytona Beach in April the watercraft racers joined the Evinrude powered Superstock boats for a full throttle weekend of boating competition. The large 1.8 mile track on the St. Johns River provided a good arena for close handlebar-to-handlbar action in a series where the competitors compete on nearly out-of-the-box stock watercraft that places more emphasis on rider ability and stamina than other forms of watercraft racing where modifications play a more significant role.  Sea-Doo racers have extra incentive for top finishes at the AQUAX races with extra prize money available to them through the Sea-Doo Bounty racer contingency program, the program that will reward Lagopoulos an extra $250 from BRP for his win.

LAGOPOULOS IN MOTO 1

Lagopoulos on pace for a moto 1 win in Jacksonville on his Sea-Doo GTR 215

“The Sea-Doo GTR 215 compliments my riding style and is really fun to ride and race, plus its fast,” said Jacksonville winner Lagopoulos. “I’m looking forward to see if I ride my GTR 215 to the top of the podium at next months round three stop in Tampa, which is basically a hometown race being only 30 minutes north of my home in Sarasota.”

BRP listens to people. BRP listens to what powersports enthusiasts think about their current products, including Sea-Doo watercraft, and what those enthusiasts want to see for future products. BRP is world renown for innovative design but it is important to realize that BRP doesn’t develop new designs simply for the sake of change. The new designs and new products BRP develops are based off of consumer desires and every innovation has a purpose.

The BRP Advanced Concepts team helps shape the future of recreational products.  It does so by listening to consumers and enthusiasts; listening to what is important to them and what moves them. What “moves” them in every way, meaning both physically and emotionally. Sea-Doo watercraft make good days great, no matter what the hull, no matter what the engine, no matter what the color. Simply riding a Sea-Doo watercraft provides an enjoyable experience.

Watercraft riders want comfort; BRP develop the first intelligent suspension. Watercraft riders want more control around the dock; Sea-Doo develop intelligent brake & reverse.

Watercraft riders want to wakeboard; the team develop intelligent throttle control with ski mode.

Watercraft riders want to turn tighter; engineers develop Ergolock and the T3 hull.

All innovative technologies, but all based off of consumer desires.

On September 15th at 8PM, the 2014 Sea-Doo watercraft lineup will be launched and again the world will see how BRP innovates by listening to people.

BRP’s award winning Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 leads the strongest high-performance line-up in watercraft history. BRP invented the performance watercraft in 1991 and has led the industry in this segment ever since. The 2013 Sea-Doo high-performance family includes five models led by the RXP-X 260, the decorated, world championship-winning model that changed the definition of watercraft in this segment. The RXP-X 260 offers a T3 hull and Ergolock system, empowering riders to ride like pros with less effort. This high-performance family includes the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260, RXT-X aS 260, RXT-X 260, RXT 260 and the popular GTR 215. 

2013 Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 

BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 became the new standard in the high-performance arena by winning the IJSBA Pro Open & GP racing World Championships, and the European tour Pro Stock and GP Championships. The RXP-X is also the recipient of the prestigious National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Innovation Award, the Red Dot Design Award, and was named 2012 “PWC of the Year” by PWCToday.com.

The 2013 RXP-X 260 enters its second year of setting new performance standards with an ominous visual appeal, ingenious hull design and reinvented ergonomics that allows riders to realize 100% of their riding potential. The T3 hull design allows the RXP-X 260 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 surface hull design with a unique combination of soft and hard chines, dual axis adjustable rear sponsons and performance trim tabs. This allows the rider to turn tighter and faster, leaving the competition green with envy.

The revolutionary Ergolock system integrates a narrowing, body-molded racing seat, Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) system and angled footwell wedges, all complementing the aggressive, lean-in characteristics. With the A.E.S. system, the rider can adjust the handlebar width and grip angle for a perfect upper body connection. The unique RXP-X 260 seat form-fits the rider’s lower body, alleviating upper body strain in hard turns, connecting the rider to the machine, and ultimately the water, better than any other two-seater. Following the dominating World Championship-winning performance of Sea-Doo X-TEAM rider, James Bushell, aboard the T3 hull, the racing community has turned to the RXP-X 260 as the new standard on race-circuits worldwide. With over a year of aftermarket performance parts development, the RXP-X 260 can be customized to fit any enthusiasts’ desires. BRP’s Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR) and Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) systems make the 2013 RXP-X 260 the most feature and technology rich two-seater in high-performance watercraft history.
