Well, the Miami Boat Show has come and gone, and Sea-Doo once again has made waves in the boating market by bringing home – yet again – the NMMA Innovation Award for its new Sea-Doo Spark Trixx. The freestyle-inspired Spark offers a whole new way for individuals, friends and family to enjoy their time on the water as the design features integrated into this new Spark allow for near-vertical tail stands, nose spins and a variety of other tricks (hence the name).
Weighing in at 422-pounds, the lightweight Trixx is priced at $7,299 and sits two yet is likely best used as a single-rider (although, it would be perfect for ejecting your passenger when the fast-responding VTS is triggered). Clearly the board at the NMMA sees what many of us in the media are viewing as a great new addition to the Spark lineup and applauds Sea-Doo for continually pursuing new and exciting ways to enjoy your PWC.
Here’s the original press release:
Miami, FL, February 21, 2017 – BRP won its record-setting ninth NMMA Innovation Award at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show for its new Sea-Doo SPARK TRIXX. The TRIXX model is based on the Sea-Doo SPARK, but with added features that offer a fun new way to play on the water.
“The Sea-Doo Spark TRIXX turns riders into instant trick artists. You go from zero to hero in five minutes,” said Alan Jones, marine journalist and member of the NMMA Innovation Award judging panel.
The Sea-Doo Spark TRIXX targets the next generation of watercraft owners with riding fun that not only changes the game, it helps invent new ones. Redefining what a sit- down watercraft can physically do – especially at an entry-level price – can spur younger generations to more strongly consider ownership.
The ultra-lightweight (422 pounds) SPARK TRIXX is the most compact and nimble watercraft on the market. It adds exclusive features not found on any other production watercraft, each designed to deliver playfulness:
- 900 HO Rotax ACE engine
- Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR)
- A performance handlebar with adjustable aluminum billet riser to provide more
leverage for increased rider input - 60° step wedges for secure footing and more confidence while going vertical
- Extended Range Variable Trim System (VTS) with 2x the normal range to bury the nose or pop the bow up into a water wheelie easily with the tap of the throttle
“Sea-Doo’s brand promise is, ‘Fun Runs in The Family’. SPARK TRIXX brings this to life for the entire family by providing an enhanced experience on the water,” said Anne-Marie LaBerge, senior vice-president, Global Brands and Communications at BRP. “Winning nine of the prestigious NMMA Innovation awards is an accomplishment BRP proudly celebrates. It is a tribute to our design and development approach, along with our commitment to producing technology that will lead the marine industry into the future.”
