BRP CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WATERSPORTS INDUSTRY WITH THE ONLY TOW SPORT-SPECIFIC WATERCRAFT – THE SEA-DOO WAKE 155 AND WAKE PRO 215

BRP continues to push the water sports world with the only tow specific watercraft with the 2013 Sea-Doo WAKE models. The Sea-Doo WAKE models are the most versatile and performance driven watercraft, even when the tow rope is stowed. For 2013, the Sea-Doo WAKE models continue to be the official watercraft of the world class NIKE wakeskate team riders Nick Taylor, Ben Horan and Kevin Henshaw.

BRP’s Sea-Doo WAKE watercraft offer unmatched versatility by providing a first class pull and exhilarating ride perfect for both beginner and professional boarders. Learning to ride behind an iControl technologies-equipped Sea-Doo watercraft is easier, less intimidating, and more economical than behind a traditional powerboat. Both WAKE models are available with the exclusive Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) and are calibrated using the exclusive GPS-based Ski Mode to fit wakeboarders’ and wakeskaters’ needs. This exclusive feature is engineered to make every driver an expert with the ability to program the acceleration curve and target speed for a consistent, perfect pull every time.

The WAKE 155 is built on the award-winning GTI platform that offers a playful, yet predictable ride on a smaller hull. The WAKE PRO 215 offers more power, pro caliber tracking and comfort from the longer and deeper S3 hull. Both WAKE models are equipped with Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) for an additional level of maneuverability and always start in neutral for ease of loading and unloading at the dock.

2013 SEA-DOO WAKE 155

BRP continues to push watersports technology and versatility with the Sea-Doo WAKE 155 watercraft. This model includes iControl, ECO mode and Ski mode to offer the most striking and accessible tow specific watercraft on the marine market. It delivers ample low-end torque to provide a powerful pull with minimal fuel consumption. It features class leading comfort and storage with 116.6 litres (30.8 US gallons) of usable space, plus the addition of iBR and iTC systems. The WAKE 155 is equipped with the PWC industry’s only tow specific package including; Ski mode, retractable tow ski pylon, large swim platform with a fold-down reboarding step, removable board racks and mirrors.

The 2013 Sea-Doo WAKE 155 is the preferred watercraft of Team Nike wakeskater Nick Taylor. Taylor favors the Wake 155 for its economical operation and shallow water capabilities versus traditional boats and also its quick turnarounds and pick-ups thanks to the iBR system. Reliability is perhaps the most important standard feature for Taylor as he has amassed over 570 hours of saltwater use on his WAKE 155 watercraft over the past three years, an amount that would take the average owner over 17 years to accumulate.

2013 SEA-DOO WAKE PRO 215

BRP’s 2013 Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215 combines industry leading design with the best PWC tow specific components and performance on a larger platform,making it the ultimate towing watercraft. Based on the S3 hull with a deeper V, the WAKE PRO 215 offers solid straight-line tracking during rider edging and greater comfort during extended treks over open water. It comes standard with the award-winning ECO Mode and a GPS calibrated Ski Mode. The iControl equipped WAKE PRO 215 watercraft comes with iBR which enables quicker turnarounds for rider pick-ups. Additional features include retractable ski pylon with spotter handgrips, removable board rack, fold-down reboarding step, tilt steering, high performance VTS and watertight removable storage bin.

 

Nike wake team riders, Ben Horan, Andrew Pastura, Nick Taylor, Kevin Henshaw and Silas Thurman, utilize BRP’s Sea-Doo WAKE watercraft exclusively.  They have a combined 1,750 hours of use among their respective watercraft. These riders share trick tips and their insights behind the WAKE PRO 215 and Wake 155 models in the Nike “DO IT” wake video shorts that can be seen in the Wake section on Sea-Doo.com, youtube.com/seadootv, remotewakeskates.com, and nike6.com.

BRP BECOMES OFFICIAL PARTNER OF RED BULL STORM CHASE 2012

 

BRP’s Sea-Doo watercraft have been selected to ensure the safety of participants during Red Bull Storm Chase 2012 windsurfing events around the world.

Red Bull Storm Chase brings together ten of the world’s best windsurfers to compete in what promises to be the roughest conditions on the planet. Three adrenaline-fuelled rounds will be held between now and November in any of seven stormy locations across Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.

“This partnership with Red Bull is an exciting opportunity for BRP, enabling us to showcase Sea-Doo watercraft and its acclaimed Intelligent Brake & Reverse technology (iBR) – the only braking technology in the industry.” said Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager of BRP’s International division.

BRP and Red Bull have a shared passion for community, fun and adventure and a common quest to make good days great. Marking the first worldwide collaboration between the two companies, BRP is supplying Sea-Doo watercraft at the three Red Bull events, leveraging the global reach of its dealer and distribution network.

“We are pleased that BRP has come on board as an official partner at this year’s Red Bull Storm Chase.

BRP LEVERAGES 25 YEARS OF MODERN SEA-DOO DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION IN THE MOST COMPLETE WATERCRAFT LINE IN HISTORY FOR 2013

BRP celebrates 25 years of modern Sea-Doo watercraft with the launch of the most complete line-up in 2013 featuring new, trend-setting color options with exclusive technologies, like the only on-water brake – Intelligent Brake and Reverse system (iBR). BRP’s Sea-Doo 2013 watercraft line-up offers an extensive range of models that set industry benchmarks in each segment and meet and exceed every consumer desire in performance, commodity, rider comfort and peace of mind.

BRP celebrates 25 years of fun on the water and industry firsts in watercraft. 

The modern Sea-Doo watercraft was launched in 1988 featuring the industry’s first v-hull and rotary valve engine. BRP introduced the three-seater watercraft segment with the introduction of the 1990 Sea-Doo GT and launched musclecraft with the 1991 Sea-Doo XP model. The innovation continued with the first production suspension seat on the 1995 Sea-Doo HX. The 1998 Sea-Doo GTX RFI was built specifically for environmental considerations, featuring Rotax fuel injection and D-Sea-Bel sound reduction.

BRP’s industry leadership continued into the next century with the first four-stroke watercraft, the 2002 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC. A year later, the first production supercharged watercraft was launched by Sea-Doo. BRP reinvented what a watercraft is in 2009 with the introduction of the Sea-Doo GTX iS and RXT iS, the first watercraft featuring iControl technologies. The ground-breaking technology included the first and only on-water braking system. Then in 2012, BRP revolutionized the high-performance watercraft with the highly praised Sea-Doo RXP-X with new Ergolock system and T3 hull. It redefined nimble with sharp, precise cornering for the ultimate handling.

Over the past 25 years, Sea-Doo has maintained position as the world’s favourite brand of watercraft. BRP continues to manufacture industry-leading fun with advanced technologies designed to provide greater control and peace of mind for drivers and passengers.

BRP’s 2013 Sea-Doo watercraft line-up includes a model for every type of rider. 

From novice to expert, riders will enjoy Sea-Doo’s technologically advanced line-up of features and rider-centric designs. BRP remains the only manufacturer to offer the industry’s unique Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) system in every watercraft category. This technology allows greater control for riders by positioning the brake and reverse lever directly on the watercraft Page 2

handlebar. iBR also makes the Sea-Doo brand the only watercraft who starts automatically in neutral. This provides easy access and the ability for riders to keep their hands on the handlebars throughout the ride. Sea-Doo’s exclusive iBR technology offers riders more peace of mind with a braking system that allows riders to stop up to 100 feet sooner than any competitor’s PWC1.

BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 celebrates an award-winning year leading the Musclecraft family. 

The Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 redefined the musclecraft category by winning several prestigious awards including, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Innovation Award and the Red Dot Design Award, and was named “PWC of the Year” by Watercraft Superstore. The RXP-X 260 has an ominous visual appeal from the flowing facet design, ram air intakes, large side grills, distinctive Ergolock system and T3 hull. The Ergolock system includes angled footwell wedges and a gradually narrowing seat designed to connect the rider to the watercraft. This reduces upper body fatigue, allowing the rider to ride faster and longer. BRP’s Ergolock system compliments the tight turning, T3 hull (T-shaped hull) that features an innovative high and low speed, dual surface design. The T-hull shape works in concert with a unique combination of soft and hard chines, plus adjustable sponsons with winglets and trim tabs, that allow the watercraft to lean into corners, better maintaining entry and exit speed while turning.

With precise superior handling across all models and designs, the entire Sea-Doo musclecraft family provides the technology needed to give you the winning edge — as standard equipment.

BRP’s Sea-Doo GTX family sets the luxury performance standard and expands color offerings in 2013. 

With exclusive luxury packages, the GTX family is the standard by which all other watercraft are measured. For 2013, the GTX Limited iS 260 is available in a new classic Anthracite Grey colorization. The GTX family combines the most advanced technologies available, luxury-minded features, sophisticated modern styling and unparalleled comfort in various conditions. The 2013 GTX models are intended for those who simply want to make the most out of their time on the water. Every GTX is equipped with BRP’s exclusive iControl technologies featuring the award winning iBR and Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) systems with ECO Mode.

BRP continues to offer the only tow specific watercraft models. 

The 2013 Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and WAKE Pro 215 models are the watercraft of choice of the best wake athletes in the world. The Sea-Doo WAKE models are the official watercraft of the NIKE wakeskate team and are the only watercraft specifically designed for tow sports. Both Sea-Doo WAKE models are equipped with the iTC system featuring a GPS speed based Ski mode, removable board rack and retractable tow pylon with observer handles. Ski mode is BRP’s exclusive, programmable, power delivery system. It allows the driver to choose between five ramp up settings and select target speeds (now based solely on the onboard GPS) to give the rider in tow a perfect pull every time. Both 2013 WAKE watercraft models stand out on any waterway either underway or resting between sets.

The Sea-Doo Recreational watercraft family offers the industry’s best value. 

The award-winning Sea-Doo GTI models return, offering all-around boating enthusiasts the most technologically advanced, value-minded, recreational segment models in the industry. The Page 3

GTI SE, GTI and GTS models undergo a color update with the addition of the fresh Lucky Green option. The Sea-Doo GTI 130 was named PWC of the Year by PWCToday.com and the GTI SE 130 won the NMMA Innovation Award. Both models offer a wealth of premium features including iBR, iTC and advanced rider ergonomics to provide maximum comfort. The GTI Limited 155 takes the value-minded package to a premium level with special features to go along with its playful, yet stable and predictable GTI hull. For the ultimate value seeker, the Sea-Doo GTS model returns, offering simplicity with modern design in the industry’s lowest priced, sit-down watercraft package.

BRP’s Sea-Doo 2013 watercraft line-up offers an extensive range of models that set industry benchmarks in each segment and meet and exceed every consumer desire in performance, commodity, rider comfort, and safety. The 2013 Sea-Doo watercraft will be available at Sea-Doo dealerships this late fall.

25 YEARS OF THE MODERN SEA-DOO > 2003 > THE FIRST 185HP SUPERCHARGED FOUR STROKE WATERCRAFT ENGINE AND VANS TRIPLE CROWN EDITION IN 2003

Lift the engine cover on the 2003 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC Limited Supercharged or GTX SC watercraft and you would see red. Because red was the color of the watercraft industry’s first supercharger. A supercharger boosts the power of an engine by substantially increasing the air-fuel mixture injected into the combustion chambers. By force-feeding more air into the combustion chambers, the 4-TEC Supercharged engine produced an astounding 185 horsepower. Unlike turbochargers, which only kick in after exhaust gases reach a pre-set level, the 4-TEC supercharger was always on.  So throttle response is immediate, without any of the dreaded “turbo lag.”

2003 sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC Limited

The 2003 Sea·Doo GTX 4-TEC Limited Supercharged and GTX Supercharged gave the phrase “Pumped Up” an all-new meaning.  The supercharged 4-TEC marine engine offered consumers the most horsepower ever available in a watercraft. The Sea-Doo brand team leveraged their relationships with Tony Stewart and Bobby Labonte and Bombardier’s sponsorship of the Indianapolis Speedway by launching these 2003 Sea-Doo watercraft with unheard of horsepower in conjunction with the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race. Media were invited to the race then the following morning Stewart and Labonte rode the watercraft to a dock on an Indianapolis lake to greet the media.

 

 

2003 Sea-Doo GTX Vans Triple Crown Edition watercraft

The Sea-Doo brand was heavily involved in launching the sport of wakeboarding in the early ‘90s and was doing it again in the early 2000s with the sport of wakeskating. Wakeskating was more technical than wakeboarding and didn’t require big wakes and focused on rail riding but also meant riders fell more. That change in tow vehicle needs led the way to the first tow specific watercraft in the industry, the 2003 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC, Vans Triple Crown Edition. Van’s was leading the promotion of action sports in 2003 and a partnership was formed in addition to the Cassette wakeskate team riding exclusively behind Sea-Doo watercraft.

Wakeskate legends and Cassette team riders Thomas Horrell, Aaron Reed, and Danny Hampson all rode behind Sea-Doo watercraft exclusively and led the charge in watercraft becoming the preferred tow vehicles for their fledgling sport.  The fact that Sea-Doo watercraft could turn around quickly and the new 4-TEC engines minimized exhaust made Sea-Doo watercraft the ideal tow vehicle for these athletes to hone their sport. The Vans Triple Crown edition featured a retractable tow pylon with observer grab handles and the 4-TEC engine allowed the driver to hold a constant speed compared to competitive models that struggled at the 18-25 mph ideal tow speeds.

With one year in the field, 2003 Sea-Doo 4-TEC powered watercraft were leading the charge to overturn legislative restrictions put in place based on previous watercraft technology. The new cleaner, quieter 4-TEC engines and Sea-Doo O.P.A.S. (off powered assisted steering) changed how legislators and the public viewed personal watercraft and led the way in shifting perception of watercraft from socially acceptable to socially desirable.

25 YEARS OF THE MODERN SEA-DOO – THE NEW ERA IN WATERCRAFT: THE 2002 SEA-DOO GTX 4-TEC

Bombardier Recreational Products took the most popular watercraft platform of all time and made it better. The 2002 GTX 4-TEC was be the first four-stroke engine powered Sea-Doo watercraft and featured the new innovative and responsible Sea-Doo O.P.A.S. (Off Power Assisted Steering) system.  These and other technological and design advances set the stage for the new era in watercraft.

The bar was set again with the 2002 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC watercraft. Powered by the 155 horsepower, 1494cc three-cylinder Rotax 4-TEC engine, the 2002 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC changed everything the world knew about watercraft. Power, more environmentally-friendly, and innovation reached new levels with the engine.  The 4-TEC was the most powerful mass-produced engine ever in a Sea-Doo watercraft and exceeded all 2006 EPA environmental standards.

The 2002 GTX 4-TEC offered watercraft enthusiasts a new feeling with an engine that literally purred and provided better acceleration than any luxury performance three‑passenger Sea-Doo watercraft before it.  The low-end torque of the new 1500 4-TEC 155 hp engine powered through an all new 10-vane water jet pump, and straight-line tracking of the redesigned hull made the 2002 GTX 4-TEC a great watercraft for towing wakeboarders, skiers and tubes.  Totally unique to watercraft, the Rotax four-stroke engine emitted a rich, low‑frequency purr at speed and offered ultra smooth operation.  Also integrated into the GTX 4-TEC hull was a revolutionary cooling system.  This engineering feat included a closed‑loop cooling system that used the rideplate as a heat exchanger for the engine coolant in the same fashion as an automobile radiator.  The 2002 GTX design was also offered with the exclusive OrbitalDirect Injection technology watercraft engine.

Committed to responsible boating, Bombardier led with its GTX 4-TEC and GTX DI watercraft and its newest innovation for 2002: the Sea-Doo O.P.A.S system.  This system provided added maneuverability by assisting the steering of the watercraft in off‑throttle and off-power situations.  The system could easily be seen on each side of the hull on equipped models in the form of spring-loaded rudders.

The deck was another work of art from the award-winning Sea-Doo design team.  It featured precisely tailored lines and overall elegant proportions that flowed gracefully from bow to stern while the flared shear line effectively reducing spray.  The hull design offered operators a drier ride with musclecraft-type precision handling.  On the bow, the distinct ridged “gills” were engineered to redirect spray away from the operator, thus offering a clear line of vision and increased comfort.

The 2002 Sea-Doo GTX 4-TEC was one of the most impactful models in the history of Sea-Doo watercraft truly carrying the brand into a new era of technology and potential. The shift from two-stroke power to four-stroke power in personal watercraft had begun.
