^Performance numbers based on BRP internal testing in optimal conditions.

The RXT’s all-new platform reinvents the personal watercraft ownership experience.

Superior Stability and Control

The new platform’s industry-leading stability and control starts with a lower center of gravity, which provides more confidence in rough water, at high speeds, and with three passengers. It is also wider for worry-free re-boarding and movement around the watercraft, and there’s up to a 90-pound weight reduction from previous model years. Combine that with a new, deep-V ST³ hull that increases performance in rough water and provides better control while cornering, and riders have the best of all worlds in any condition.

Powerful Audio System (optional)

A powerful, 100-watt stereo is a cornerstone of the on-board experience. It is the world’s first Bluetooth, fully-integrated waterproof watercraft audio system. It features 100 watts of total power, is built to withstand harsh watercraft environments, has Bluetooth connectivity, and its external playback controls ensure the perfect song is always on deck.

Ingenious Storage

Sea-Doo RXT models have a spacious 27-gallon (102.5 L) direct-access front cargo compartment designed for easy access to all gear from a seated position – simply raise the handlebar and reach in. There is also a waterproof, shockproof compartment with an optional USB charger accessory that allows phones to stay charged and ready to go. A new LinQ quick-attach rear cargo system is also standard, allowing for simple, easy-snap accessory connection in seconds without tools.

Available LinQ accessories:

  • Fuel Caddy: Holds up to 4 gallons (15L) of fuel in an easy-to-pour canister.
  • Cargo Bag: Semi-rigid, 5.5-gallon (21L) storage that can stack on top of the fuel caddy.
  • Cooler: Rigid, durable and weather-resistant cooler that keeps 4.2 gallons (16L) of contents fresh and cold. It also acts as a table between reconfigured seats for on-water picnics.
  • Ski Pylon: High-rise pylon with built-in grab handles for the spotter.

 Reconfigurable Ergolock Seating

When it’s time to relax, a reconfigurable rear seat transforms the ride into a living room on the water. When riding, the Ergolock seat provides unmatched control, handling and comfort by letting riders lock in and use their legs, making them feel at one with the machine, and riders can quickly change from a 3-seat configuration to a flat lounge area when stopped to enjoy the surroundings. Two riders can face each other for a picnic lunch, or when removed, the larger, flatter rear deck makes re-boarding and prep for tow sports easier and more stable.

 The RXT 230 comes equipped with all of the standard performance features as well as:

  • Modular Ergolock narrow racing seat
  • Tilt steering
  • Exclusive Quick-Attach Rear Cargo System (LinQTM)
  • 27-gallon (102.5 L) direct-access front storage

Additional Technology Detail

iBR

Recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard for improving boat safety since 2009, the Sea-Doo exclusive iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse) system allows riders to stop up to 160 feet (48 m) sooner than watercraft not using a brake. With both hands on the handlebars, riders can engage forward, neutral, and reverse for stable, worry-free maneuvering at low speeds.

^Available on select SPARK models

^Performance numbers based on BRP internal testing in optimal conditions.

 

iTC

An electronic, fully-sealed intelligent throttle control system is the instantly responsive way riders dish out the Rotax® engine’s performance when needed, and saves fuel for when efficient cruising and exploration is desired.

 

Extended Range VTS

As the Spark® TRIXX™’s Rotax® 900 HO ACE™ engine sends a powerful column of thrust into the water, the Extended Range Variable Trim System enables riders to precisely and naturally control speed, pitch, and positioning as they explore the limits of the machine.

^Available on select SPARK models

Exoskel

This is the revolutionary minimalist architecture that keeps only the essential structural parts in the front section, reducing weight while creating a strong, modern design that defines the unique and playful nature of the Sea-Doo® SPARK.

Polytec Hull

The SPARK hull is highly impact and scratch-resistant, with integrated coloring and durable top deck. No other material gives such lightweight performance in this price range, which engineers used to both improve overall performance and save weight, without compromising handling.

 Sea-Doo SPARK Engines

With unmatched performance, superior fuel efficiency and proven reliability, Rotax® engines set the standard in the industry. SPARK models feature the industry-exclusive closed-loop cooling system to keep corrosive saltwater and debris out of the engine for added peace-of-mind.

  • Rotax 900 HO ACE: The most compact and lightweight engine in the industry, incorporating quick acceleration, impressive fuel economy and an excellent power-to-weight ratio with a top speed of close to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Rotax 900 ACE: Packed with 60 horsepower, it features a great power-to-weight ratio and has a top speed of 41 mph (66 km/h).

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

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,

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.

gtrx

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 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.

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.

Orlando, Florida Aug. 16, 2016 – BRP continues to offer the benchmark in luxury watercraft with the Sea-Doo GTX Series delivering the highest level of comfort, technology and performance. In 2017, the Rotax ACE technology extends to more Sea-Doo models with the new Rotax 1500 HO ACE engine powering the new GTX Limited 230. All GTX watercraft are stylish, elegant and loaded with exclusive features including the industry’s first and only suspension system that isolates riders from the impact of rough water providing the smoothest, most comfortable ride possible.

2017 Sea-Doo GTX 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 its big brother, the Rotax 1630 ACE engine, with a maintenance free* supercharger. The combination of increased power and efficiency of the new 230-hp Rotax 1500 HO ACE and the advanced ergonomics of the Ergolock seat, deliver a confidence-inspiring ride allowing riders to enjoy the ultimate in engine technology and comfortable luxury.

Ergonomics is a design element BRP places immense focus on to ensure the rider can maximize the use of the available power and translate it into performance with comfort and confidence. The exclusive Ergolock seat with stepped design on all GTX models provides all riders maximum body connection with the watercraft and a more natural position for more comfortable touring and confident cornering. Adding to the comfort of the plush Ergolock seat is the industry’s only on-water suspension system on select models. The exclusive Sea-Doo suspension system allows the hull to move independently of the top deck with a full 5.5 inches (14 cm) of suspension travel. The entire rider environment – Ergolock seat, footwells, handlebars and dry storage – is cushioned by a rear-mounted swing arm and gas shock with adjustable spring under the front section, isolating the riders and gear from the impact of choppy water for the ultimate in touring comfort.

 

The 2017 Sea-Doo GTX models are equipped with the second-generation Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR) system with an ultra responsive activation and faster braking. The Sea-Doo iBR system introduced in 2009 is the first and only braking system recognized by the United States Coast Guard for contributing to recreational boating safety and stops the Sea-Doo watercraft close to 160 feet (48.75 m) sooner1 than the same watercraft not using a braking system. The new iBR system adds to the rider centric design approach providing unmatched control at speed and during tight quarter manoeuvring.

The non-suspension GTX models offer extra storage space with an extra large glove box, exclusive Sea-Doo removable watertight storage bin and large front storage space under the bin for a massive 42.8 US gallons (162 liters) of total storage space. The 2017 Sea-Doo luxury models also feature the ergonomically-advanced handlegrips with palm rest for added comfort while riding. All GTX models feature the latest in programmable power delivery through the exclusive Sea-Doo Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) including Touring, Sport and ECO modes, Cruise Control and Slow mode.  The GTX segment rides on the exclusive S3 hull (Stepped, Stable, Strong) that provides better wave penetration on a longer platform that bridges chop better for a more stable and comfortable ride.

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.

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
