SEA-DOO DELIVERS HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND HIGH VALUE WITH THE NEW GTR-X 230 MODEL

Orlando, Florida August 16, 2016 – BRP offers more performance watercraft options with two new 2017 Sea-Doo models  including the high value GTR 230 and new GTR-X 230 with Ergolock system. Both models will be powered by the new 230-hp Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine and join the RXT 260, RXT-X 300 and RXP-X 300 to further strengthen the strongest performance line-up in the watercraft industry.

The new Sea-Doo GTR-X 230 watercraft becomes the most affordable X-model (extra performance) and is powered by the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine that will push this new watercraft from idle to 60 mph (96,6 km/h) in 5.3 seconds, which is 2.4 seconds quicker than the closest competitive model1. The new GTR-X 230 model receives the complete Ergolock system that includes the Ergolock seat, Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) handlebar, and angled footwell wedges. The Ergolock seat 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 for a more confidence inspiring ride to push riding limits even further.

2017 Sea-Doo GTR-X 230

Powering the Sea-Doo GTR-X 230 and GTR 230 models is new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine, designed with the Advanced Combustion Efficiency philosophy producing 15 more horsepower than its predecessor while maintaining minimal mass for strong power-to-weight performance. The advances in thermal dynamic cooling and overall refinement in the 1500 HO ACE engine elevates the nimble handling of the GTR platform to the next level of value-minded performance watercraft.

The new 230-hp Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine follows the 300-hp 1630 ACE engine innovation, including the 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 walls 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.

2017 Sea-Doo GTR 230

The Rotax ACE, or Advanced Combustion Efficiency, engines implement advancements in combustion and cooling efficiency that produce substantially more power without adding mass. The ACE philosophy aids the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE in producing 15 more horsepower power than the previous version to provide strong power-to-weight performance and is optimized for regular fuel resulting in more money saved at the gas station. While the new engine produces 15 more horsepower than its predecessor, fuel consumption remains on par. Adding to the innovation, the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE follows in the wake of it’s big brother, the Rotax 1630 ACE engine, with a maintenance free* supercharger.

All 2017 Sea-Doo performance models are equipped with the second-generation Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR), the intuitive braking system that reduces the stopping distance by nearly 160 feet (48.75 m) sooner2 than deceleration without braking. The Sea-Doo iBR is the first and only braking system recognized by the USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) since 2009 for contributing to recreational boating safety and adds to the rider-centric design approach providing maximum control in all conditions. The 2017 Sea-Doo performance models also include race-inspired features such as high-performance Variable Trim System (VTS), handlegrips with palm rest and race-inspired coloration and graphics.

2017 SEA-DOO PERFORMANCE MODELS

  • GTR-X 230
  • GTR 230
  • RXP-X 300
  • RXT-X 300
  • RXT 260

2017 SEA-DOO GTR-X 230

New for 2017 is the Sea-Doo GTR-X 230, a mix of high-performance and high-value all combined in one stunning, California Green Metallic & Black two-seater. As the lowest priced Sea-Doo X-model, the GTR-X 230 is powered by the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine and is joined by the race-proven Ergolock system that inspires more confidence in all conditions. The GTR-X 230 rides upon the playful yet precise GTI hull and when coupled with the new 230-hp powerplant it turns from mild-mannered to superhero status at the pull of the throttle lever, leaping from 0-60 mph (96,6 km/h) in 5.3 seconds.

gtr-x-230-gtr-230_bx7o6645_my17

2017 Sea-Doo GTR-X 230 (right) and GTR 230 (left)

The GTR-X 230 with Ergolock system allows the rider to connect with the watercraft to become one with it, allowing the rider to push the limits even further. The narrower, lower body-molded seat, Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) handlebar, and angled footwell wedges, provide added leverage in aggressive cornering and are equally beneficial in connecting to the watercraft in choppy, open-water, straight-line riding. Adding to rider control and confidence is the second-generation iBR that reduces the stopping distance of the watercraft by nearly 160 feet (48.75 m) and the Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) with three power delivery modes including Touring, Sport, and ECO to best match the riding activity. The 2017 Sea-Doo GTR-X 230 delivers the best of watercraft high-performance and high-value.

2017 SEA-DOO GTR 230

The 2017 Sea-Doo GTR 230 model receives a 15-horsepower boost from the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine elevating the fun factor on what was already argued to be the most versatile performance model in the industry. The GTR 230 provides a gateway into the Sea-Doo performance family with all the adrenaline-pumping fun one can hope for at an affordable price.

gtr-230-gtr-x-230_beauty-028b_my17

2017 Sea-Doo GTR-X 230 (right) and GTR 230 (left)

The Sea-Doo GTR 230 model is the new stronger version of what has been the preferred model of 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 the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine for a superior power-to-weight ratio. The GTR 230 watercraft is also fully equipped with the Sea-Doo iControl technologies including the iTC and second-generation iBR system, providing added control in tight quarter situations and allowing the rider to stop sooner for greater peace of mind. The Sea-Doo GTR 230 features: integrated infocenter, high-performance Variable Trim System (VTS) and 30.8 US gallons (116.6 liters) of storage and available in Black and Octane Blue.

2017 SEA-DOO RXP-X 300

The Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft is the most decorated performance model in recent racing history, claiming the past five Pro Open and Pro GP World Championships. The 2017 RXP-X is the industry’s undisputed king of closed-course racing and boosts the industry’s best power-to-weight ratio thanks to the 300-horsepower Rotax 1630 ACE engine. The Rotax 1630 ACE power package provides greater mid-range power for better cornering speed and produces over 1G during hole shot acceleration from a stop.

fb-gp-rxp-x-single-21175-24-feb-2016

2017 RXP-X 300

 

The T3 hull design offers one-of-a-kind handling allowing 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 includes the intuitive second-generation iBR providing the only braking system available on a high-performance two-seater for an enhanced level of rider control. The Sea-Doo RXP-X model has set the standard for precise handling and in 2017 is available in Lava Red and the modern Monolith Black Satin coloration or race-inspired White and Dayglow Yellow. No watercraft turns like the 2017 RXP-X 300 and no watercraft is as fun and rewarding as when pushing your riding limits further on the Sea-Doo RXP-X 300.

2017 SEA-DOO RXT-X 300

The combination of the Rotax 1630 ACE engine power and advanced ergonomics of the Ergolock system delivers a confidence-inspiring ride allowing you to push your limits even further on the 2017 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 with the water. The Rotax ACE power package provides greater throttle response in all conditions and is the most powerful engine ever offered in a Sea-Doo watercraft.

fb-gp-rxt-x-300-overhead-25837-01-feb-2016

2017 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300

The 2017 RXT-X 300 integrates the race-proven Sea-Doo Ergolock system that 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 Ergolock seat, Adjustable Ergonomic Steering (A.E.S.) handlebar and angled footwell wedges, benefit in aggressive cornering and 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 performance three-seater provides wet storage under Sea-Doo’s exclusive removable watertight storage bin for a total storage capacity of 42.8 US gallons (162 liters)  including an ultra large glove box. The technical flowing edge designed top deck 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 2017 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 model is available in the two color variations of Lava Red and the modern Monolith Black Satin or race-inspired White and Dayglow Yellow.

 2017 SEA-DOO RXT 260

The 2017 Sea-Doo RXT 260 model is ideal for the weekend performance enthusiast looking for an exhilarating experience during longer rides. The three-seater with Ergolock seat ensures RXT 260 riders enjoy added control, comfort and confidence in all conditions with a form-fitting design for the driver and passengers.

fb-ausnz-gtr-215_25566_16-05-may-16

2017 Sea-Doo RXT 260

The 2017 RXT 260 features the longer S3 hull for improved handling and stability in both smooth and choppy water conditions.

Paul – My first introduction into watersports was waterskiing at our cottage as a child. That would lead to working as a lifeguard and later teaching competitive swimming to youths. My first PWC was a Wet Jet 432 that handled like a tank!   

Since you began competing what are some of your accolades?

Paul – My first season competing on a runabout was 2014. I raced the CWA Watercross Tour in the newly formed Runabout Rec Lights Class. I was dominant in the class and won the overall title. I also won the Master Ski Stock overall title.

Picture 1What is it about the Sea-Doo SPARK that enticed you to race this new model?

Paul – Initially, I purchased the SPARK as a fun boat for the weekends. After spending sometime on the boat, I realized the boats potential as a viable race craft. I began working on the machine and started promoting it within the watercraft community. Not long after, SPARKs began showing up at the races and a new class was born.

What kind of support team do you have behind you and what does it entail?

Paul – I am lucky to have Riva Racing, Sea-Doo X-TEAM, and Solas as sponsors. I have been testing with Riva and assisting them in developing new performance products for the SPARK. My girlfriend, Rachel Thomas, has also been instrumental in my success on and off the water. No one wins titles by themselves.

Your accomplishments riding watercraft have opened the doors for other action opportunities. What “extra” perks have you enjoyed from being a pro racer?

Paul – I have traveled extensively with the sport and have enjoyed the experience greatly. This past summer, I had the opportunity to take up wake surfing thanks to my family which is a blast. I also try to attend as many Monster Energy Supercross races as I can each season. Getting the recognition as an X-Team member is a thrill.

Where is your favorite PWC race site?

Paul – I enjoy the Ocean race sites, particularly the Florida stops with the warm water and ever changing surf. Racing surf forces the rider to use all their skills in order to be successful. The Ocean levels out the playing field.

What is it about PWC racing that keeps you coming back?

Paul – I started racing PWC’s in the late 80’s and have enjoyed competing both as a privateer and as a factory backed rider in the 90’s. The thing that keeps me coming back to the sport is the constant innovations to the watercraft. I find the technology fuels my passion and I’m constantly being forced to learn new things. The clean burning 4 strokes of today are superior to the 2 stroke technologies of yesterday.

Picture 5

Where is your favorite non-racing, riding location?

Paul – I really enjoy riding in South Florida and the Florida Keys. The natural beauty of the area can’t be beat. Surf riding at the Sebastian Inlet in Florida is always eventful too! Watching Dolphins and Sharks share the water as you ride is an awesome sight to see.

What is or has been YOUR favorite part of being part of the Sea-Doo X-TEAM

Paul – My favorite part of being on the Sea-Doo X-Team is being part of a professional group of racers who have similar focus and goals. The comradery and friendships formed are the best part of the team. The opportunity to showcase my riding skills with other high level athletes is great.

Picture 9What are you racing right now and what are looking forward to, and who is supporting your 2015 efforts?

Paul – I plan to ride a 2015 Sea-Doo SPARK and defend my CWA title in the Runabout Rec Lights class. I’m also exploring the possibility of racing a Sea-Doo RXP-X in the Pro Am Runabout Stock class. Riva Racing, Sea-Doo and Solas will be my key sponsors for 2015. I’m looking forward to continued success in 2015 aboard Sea-Doo watercraft!

BRP thanks Paul Green for his time and dedication to the pursuit of PWC racing glory aboard Sea-Doo. You can follow Paul; on his Facebook page, www.facebook.com/paul.green.10004

2015 SEA-DOO SPARK -ACTION A8BRP has long been the leading supporter of watercraft racing and is coming into the 2014 IJSBA World Finals with a special exhibition Sea-Doo #GOXTEAMGO Spark Challenge. As the manufacturer who gave birth to the performance watercraft with the introduction of the 1991 Sea-Doo XP, BRP has continuously set the benchmark in what a performance watercraft is. Today that is defined by the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260, the winningest runabout model of the past two World Championships. Where there are performance machines, there are racers and the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty program rewards the racers who successfully compete on Sea-Doo watercraft.

The Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty racer contingency program is the industry’s premier and highest paying contingency program and acts as an, “open-sponsorship” that all riders competing in the designated classes are eligible for extra cash contingencies. The Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty is a program BRP offers to help Sea-Doo racers offset some of the financial elements of racing, a program no other OEM offers. The World Finals Bounty payout is strong for 2014 and can make winning a World Championship all the more rewarding.

In addition to the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty program, BRP supports the majority of the north american race promoters/producers. Sponsorship funds are provided to help elevate the quality and quantity of watercraft racing events and to provide Sea-Doo owners events to feed their competitive spirit.

It has become a tradition for BRP to produce a special Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty exhibition competition by inviting the world’s elite Sea-Doo watercraft racers to compete in a special event at the World Finals. For 2014 BRP will be inviting those who have landed on podiums in premier classes during the 2014 season to compete in a special International Race Of Champions (IROC) aboard identically prepared Sea-Doo SPARK watercraft.

The field of ten will qualify Friday evening, October 10th, with the fastest five riders on the slalom course moving on to the final. On Saturday night, those final five X-TEAM riders will compete head-to-head in a five-lap moto during the IJSBA “Bounty Under the Bridge” show, under the London Bridge. Then, on Sunday October 12, Sea-Doo racers will need to complete another three-lap moto 2 on the official World Finals track. The winner of the combined motos will take home $1000 while the other four competitors will claim $100 for their efforts.

2014 Sea-Doo Bounty #GOXTEAMGO SPARK Challenge Invitees include:

With identical Sea-Doo Spark units the competition should be ultra competitive and make for an entertaining show.  The Sea-Doo Spark is the most affordable, light-weight, and easy to use watercraft on the market making the dream of owning a Sea-Doo watercraft more accessible than ever before.

Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 – Designing The Ultimate Performance Watercraft

Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 – the Future of Design and Functionality

When the word “design” is discussed in the recreational products industry BRP is usually one of the first companies mentioned in the discussion. BRP’s advanced concepts and innovation team is world renown for shaping the future of recreational vehicles and has been doing this in the personal watercraft industry for over 25 years. The Sea-Doo watercraft line has set the standard in visual appeal and functionality for the past three decades and never has that been truer than in 2014.

The word ‘design’ is generally used to describe how something looks but it is much more than that. Design also describes how things fit and move together. In the realm of vehicles, ergonomics play a significant role in what defines a good design or a not so good design. This is where BRP’s design and innovation teams excel, melding function with fashion to the tune of countless design and innovation awards and hundreds of thousands of happy Sea-Doo owners.

The Sea-Doo line-up includes 16 models, one to fit every watersport enthusiasts’ needs in delivering ultimate fun on the water. Five segments including Rec Lite, Recreation, Tow Sports, Luxury and Performance help define the Sea-Doo model mix. With every big family there is always the ‘athlete’, the chiseled body of muscle, fleet of foot, and always the one you want on your team. In the Sea-Doo watercraft family the star athlete is the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260.

2014 Sea-Doo RXP-X 260

2014 Sea-Doo RXP-X 260

The Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 is the family member with a trophy case full of first place hardware. The Sea-Doo RXP-X is the epitome of high-performance on the water with a powerful high-output supercharged engine pushing the watercraft from 0-30 mph in approximately two seconds but what really makes it stand out from the crowd is that it looks fast sitting still.

When the BRP design team decides to develop a new vehicle they define the personality of that vehicle and research hundreds of other products to gain inspiration. The team looks at animals, cars, airplanes, but also consumer products such as shoes, watches, and electronics. Some of the more notable inspirations for the RXP-X were stealth fighter jets and sharks.

The Intricate 'flowing facet' design gives the RXP-X a distinctly exclusive visual appeal.

The Intricate ‘flowing facet’ design gives the RXP-X a distinctly exclusive visual appeal.

The design philosophy for all curent Sea-Doo watercraft is referred to as ‘flowing facet’ design. This direction utilizes flat surfaces joined together to create a collective shape that flows from bow to stern. The Sea-Doo RXP-X integrates a much more complex collection of surfaces than the GTI family for instance to capture the true advanced design of a performance machine and to provide the ominous visual presence of the watercraft with greater detail.

The shape itself resembles a bull, with a powerful, muscular front half with a more sleek middle section and rear half. The RXP-X’s stance is that of a bull ready to charge. Every level of detail of the RXP-X exudes exclusivity. Some of these exclusive design details include; the transparent hood brow with RXP-X emblem underneath, dual air scoops and the mesh side accents among many more. The visual dynamics earned the Sea-Doo RXP-X the coveted Red Dot Design award among many other distinctions but as mentioned earlier, on a recreational vehicle, fashion has to equally meld with function.

Perhaps the most innovative design element of the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 is the one you can’t see when on the water, the T3 hull. The T3 hull stands for tight-turning and outstanding tracking through chop. The design includes three distinctive elements that provide handling closer to a high performance street bike than a traditional watercraft.

Exclusive T3 Hull

Exclusive T3 Hull

The hull running surface is a bi-level or multi-staged design with a center pad that drops down roughly 2-inches from the main surface to provide a narrower running pad to cut through chop better while holding its line. The second level provides more lateral surface area aiding in low speed stability. The outside side chines are ‘soft’ or curved rather than ‘hard’ chines with defined angles found on all other sit-down models. The soft chine allows the watercraft to be leaned over further to corner tighter and reduce lateral stress on the driver. The third main design difference of the T3 hull is the aggressive, deep-V keel of the bow with integrated spray deflection elements that provides precise cornering and also minimize bow lowering during heavy deceleration.

The Sea-Doo RXP-X T3 hull provides a very different handling experience that calls for a different manner for the rider to connect to the watercraft and this is why the Ergolock system was developed in unison. The challenge with modern performance watercraft is how to maximize the performance from a rider perspective, how can the rider access the true potential of the watercraft for an extended period of time? Most performance watercraft place a tremendous strain on the rider’s upper body as most competitive models have relatively large, wide seats placing most of the strain on the upper body causing rapid fatigue.

The angled footwell and narrow seat of the Ergolock system.

The angled footwell and narrow seat of the Ergolock system.

The Sea-Doo Ergolock system moves the rider forward of the engine allowing a narrower seat to be utilized with an integrated cushioned flair in the seat over the riders knees and combined with an inward angled footwell, that naturally cambers the rider’s knees into the seat allowing the rider to utilize the strongest muscles in the body to help hold on better during tight turning. Combined with the AES (Adjustable Ergonomic Steering) system the rider can tap into the true performance potential of the Sea-Doo RXP-X staying on the power longer into turns and earlier coming out with less fatigue.

The Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 is the most advanced performance watercraft on the water setting the benchmark in melding fashion and function. The striking flowing facet design provides the detailed look demanded by go fast enthusiasts while the T3 hull and Ergolock system help the rider reach his goals and the RXP-X’s true performance potential. The RXP-X 260 continues the Sea-Doo heritage of setting new benchmarks in design and functionality and is the ultimate performance watercraft.

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.

2014 Sea-Doo RXP-X 260Sea-Doo RXP X 260

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 RXP-X 260 model was 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 2014 Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 model is the ideal watercraft for closed course racers and performance enthusiasts. It continues to build its performance legacy with a new Viper Red color, ominous visual appeal, ingenious hull design and ergonomics that allow riders to realize 100% of their riding potential. 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.
