Orlando, Florida August 16, 2016 – BRP has revamped the 2017 Sea-Doo GTI family of watercraft to offer unbeatable price-value as the most affordable, and most fuel-efficient full-size watercraft in the industry. New for 2017, the Sea-Doo GTS, GTI and GTI SE models will be offered with the compact Rotax 900 HO ACE engine and the lightweight and scratch and impact-resistant Polytec hull material.

2017 Sea-Doo GTI SE

The Sea-Doo GTS and GTI models become the most affordable full-size watercraft with lower price points than the previous years comparable packages.  A 30% increase in fuel efficiency contributes to greater cost savings 1, thanks in part  to the lightweight hull being constructed of BRP’s exclusive Polytec material.. Further reducing the weight and lending to the Sea-Doo GTS and GTI models having the lowest fuel consumption in the industry among all full-size watercraft is the Rotax 900 HO ACE engine. The compact 900 HO ACE ensures watercraft riders make the most of their day by riding longer with less fuel stops.

If there were two words to describe the Sea-Doo GTI watercraft family, it would be versatility and value. The GTI models are good at nearly everything a family would like to do on the water and continue to offer best-in-class technologies including  the second-generation Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) system. It is the first and only braking system recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard for its contribution to increase recreational boating safety since 2009, and helps the watercraft stop nearly 160 feet (48.75 m) sooner2. The GTI 130 model also slows to 5 mph (8 km/h) from 50 mph (80.5 km/h) in 34.4 feet and 0.5 seconds sooner than competitive models according to Boating Magazine testing.3

2017 Sea-Doo GTI watercraft

BRP is a pioneer in watercraft design from construction to color. The Sea-Doo Recreation segment conveys BRP’s advanced design philosophies through contemporary flowing facet styling and trendsetting coloration. The energy of the Recreation family is conveyed by vibrant colors such as the new Sunrise Orange on the GTI SE models, Manta Green on the GTI model and Orange Crush on the GTS model. Staying true to the versatility of the recreation models, classic Black is the second color option on the GTI SE models while Jet Black Metallic and Deep Pewter Satin dress the GTI Limited 155 model.

BRP’s Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) function features activity-specific power delivery options including Touring, Sport, and ECO modes. The GTI platform also provides a class-leading 30.8 US gallons (116.6 liters) of storage space and best-in-class fuel economy with BRP’s ECO Mode available on all models. ECO Mode automatically determines the most economical power delivery and sets the optimal RPM for greatest fuel economy so riders spend extra time, not extra money, on the water.

The GTI platform also incorporates many ergonomic features designed for rider comfort. BRP’s exclusive inward-angled footwell floors keep the rider’s lower legs/feet in-line reducing ankle fatigue, and the handlegrips come with palm rests enhancing comfort and reducing forearm fatigue. These many exclusive Sea-Doo innovations and features make the GTI family  unbeatable in price-value among full-size watercraft offerings in the industry.

The Sea-Doo Learning Key limits RPMs and acceleration for less experienced riders to gain skill and confidence with less available power. All Sea-Doo models feature Closed-Loop Cooling that uses coolant to cool the engine rather than outside water, eliminating salt and debris from entering the engine for maximum reliability and ensuring proper operating temperatures. The GTS model is available in exclusive White and Orange Crush and is equipped with a durable thermoformed seat making it an ideal option for rental operators.

Kevin Wassum Racing P Aqua X

Kevin Wassum racing in the inaugural U.S. P Aqua X Stock race.

Sea-Doo Performance enthusiasts live for the latest and greatest technologies on the water. They want to have the best equipment, the best gear, and head to the water for a real adrenaline rush! They expect the elements that support their passion to be as functional as they are fashionable.

These Sea-Doo Performance enthusiasts fall into the realm of the X-Team, BRP’s designated performance brand for the special, no holds barred, extreme riders. These riders put a premium on power, handling and top-end performance and need riding gear to match these demands. The X-Team riders push their physical and mental abilities to extract every shred of performance from their Sea-Doo watercraft.

When a rider demands the most from their watercraft and themselves the riding gear can make the difference in comfort and performance. That’s why the Sea-Doo X-Team gear is developed in conjunction with the product development to ensure complete rider/watercraft integration.  As with any athlete the initial focus should be on the core.Mens performance X Team Wet Suit

Kevin Wassum is one of these Sea-Doo Performance enthusiasts. He is a Sea-Doo fan, but not any fan; he won the “Ultimate Sea-Doo Fan” contest in 2011 and     has since become a performance fan, having entered his first watercraft racing event this summer. He is a fit rider and wears the Sea-Doo Performance X-Team Combo Suit and Force Pullover PFD. Wassum tells us why this is the right suit for the performance enthusiasts.

“When it comes to rough water riding, I prefer the sleeveless style over the traditional long sleeve one piece and “shorty” wetsuits for a few reasons; the sleeveless wetsuit provides your legs with full coverage and protection from chaffing during choppy conditions. It’s less restrictive and easier to pull on and take off than a one-piece wetsuit because of the material and construction. The sleeveless style also allows a rider to choose between riding with the jacket or without to stay warm during cooler weather or cooler during warm weather. So you get the best of everything, nice fit, comfort when it’s warm out, and warmth when it’s cold out. It also protects from spray when riding all out in a crowd or heavy surf.”

Force PFD thumbWassum also rides with the Sea-Doo Force Pullover PFD and had this to say about his experience with this piece of gear. “It’s got everything you can ask for in a PFD including a nice snug fit, good padding in the chest and back without the feeling of being overly bulky, solid lanyard hook, race approved safety buckles, and a side entry fit that helps prevent the PFD from coming off if you go swimming, if you know what I mean.”booties

The wetsuit and PFD cover the core but how about the connection points between rider and watercraft? Having maximum foot traction is crucial to proper body position to extract maximum performance from the rider’s lower body. The Sea-Doo Booties are designed for the watery playing field, come with a neoprene sock for comfort and provide maximum traction. The boots also feature mesh panels and perforated sole for water evacuation and one-handed lace system to minimize weight and offer quick cinching when on the go.

Keeping a grip on the controls is arguably the most important physical aspect of performance riding and the Sea-Doo glovesVehicle Gloves are designed to keep the rider connected. The Sea-Doo Vehicle Gloves are available in both full-finger and shorty options dependent on personal preference. The neoprene vehicle gloves feature Spandex finger gussets for comfort and protection. The rubberized Pro-Grip on the thumb and palm provides superior grip when calling on the Rotax 4-TEC Supercharged power.

Keeping your eyes on the prize is very important in performance riding as spray and other air born debris, such as insects, can slow2013 Sea-Doo Riding Goggles your fun down quickly. The Sea-Doo Riding Goggles offer the best eye protection with its hypoallergenic silicone seal. They keep out the water and offer the finest anti-fog solution keeping the riders vision of the horizon clear. Perhaps the most innovative element of the ridding goggles is the goggle-to-PFD attachment lanyard that connects them to the PFDs. Now riders don’t have to worry about loosing their eye protection when riding all out.

Wassum provides a final word: “I really like the X-Team Combo Suit and Force PFD, it matches with the rest of the Sea-Doo X-Team gear as well as my RXP-X itself.  So, you’ve got the perfect fit, and with all matching gear, you’ve also got the perfect look.”

X-Team riders or weekend performance enthusiasts, Sea-Doo has the best equipment and gear to ensure you have the ultimate experience in comfort and style!

All of the Sea-Doo performance gear can be purchased through the Sea-Doo online store and at your local dealer.

Sea-Doo RXP-X 260

BRP invented the performance watercraft in 1991 and continues to lead the industry today. In 2014, BRP offers the strongest and most complete Performance watercraft lineup in the industry. The Performance family continues to be the watercraft of choice of performance enthusiasts and professional riders. Professional riders dominated 2012 and 2013 on these models by winning four consecutive IJSBA world championships.

Sea-Doo Performance watercraft are ideal for riders in search of power, acceleration, the ultimate adrenaline rush and a watercraft that empowers them to ride like a pro. The Performance family offers the best power and acceleration of the Sea-Doo lineup, with stunning design and cutting-edge technology. Watercraft in this category provide unmatched performance in moderate to rough water conditions, in open water or buoy courses and include race-inspired features such as high-performance Variable Trim System (VTS,) adjustable sponsons, a specialized seat and race-inspired handlebars*.

The 2014 Sea-Doo Performance lineup includes five models led by the RXP-X 260, model that changed the definition of watercraft in this family with the T3 hull and Ergolock system, empowering riders to ride like pros with less effort. It also includes the Sea-Doo RXT-X aS 260, RXT-X 260 and RXT 260 models as well as the popular, entry-level performance watercraft, the GTR 215 model.

In a class by itself, BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 watercraft became the new standard in the high-performance arena by winning both the 2011 & 2012 IJSBA Pro Open & GP racing World Championships, and the European tour Pro Stock and GP Championships in 2012 and continued this trend in 2013.

The T3 hull design allows the RXP-X 260 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 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 lean further into corners, turning tighter and faster, leaving the competition’s two-seaters in its wake.

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 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 legs, alleviating upper body strain in hard turns, using the leg muscles to lock the rider into the machine, and ultimately the water, better than any other two-seater.

BRP’s Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR) and Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) systems complete the picture and make the 2014 RXP-X 260 the most feature- and technology-rich two-seater in high-performance watercraft history.

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.
