Muscle craft are back with a vengeance, horsepower has hit new heights and Sea-Doo is back on top. Spicer test drives the all new RXP-X and RXT-X.RXT- IS ( intelligent suspension.!! )
Reincarnated for 2008, the new RXP and RXT combine a
heady mixture of futuristic looks and modern materials, not to mention
the most powerful PW engine in production. These skis retain Sea-Doo's industry title of best power-to-weight ratio, and as the company celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2008, you can sense the pride. Philippe concluded his boat top presentation by saying: "Sea-Doo has raised the bar with these craft." But could they really be that different from the old RXP and RXT? Easing out slowly onto Lake Shasta on a shiny new RXP-X I was immediately aware of the acceleration potential, even with small blips of the trigger. Power has been packed into the bottom-end so tightly that it feels like a jack-in-the-box itching to be released. Once out on open water I pinned the throttle, sending the ski screaming up onto the plane and me backwards, very nearly off the back. It's seriously quick. According to .BRP the X craft' acceleration is 0.2 seconds faster than a Ferrari F40. and it feels like it too. The grunt of the thing is just incredible. It's fast, furious and frenetic - like a wild animal hungry for its prey. BRP claims that the X craft will travel 200 feet in under four seconds and I believe them. The power delivery is unreal: you're up on the plane in a flash with your arms being torn out of their sockets and expletives coming out of your mouth like Pat Butcher on an off day .THE X FACTOR So, where did all the extra power come from? Well, the 215 hp RXP engine has been improved with bigger fuel injectors, an upgraded supercharger (which produces 20 per cent more air flow), and a larger intercooler that allows a denser charge. The new intercooler is the most significant mod because it reduces heat by 60 per cent more than the intercooler on the 215. This is crucial as superchargers heat up air flbw in an engine and this has a negative effect. Sr>although the new intercooler is bigger, this is where the bulk of the extra power comes from to allow those 40 extra horses. But as you can imagine, more power also means more wear, so stronger steel washers coated with titanium now replace the ceramic washers used in the 215, and these should be able to deal with the additional pressure. Clutch lubrication has also been improved in this supercharger, with oil being pumped dowrr the centre of the shaft to constantly supply the clutch with fresh oil. However, even with enhanced workings, we have to ask the question, will so much power have a negative effect on engine reliability? Only time will tell.
Gobbling up the tree-laden horizon at a sickening rate of knots I leaned down into the wind, throttle wide open, with my weight over the back of the ski. The hook up is awesome. Throughout my whole ride the pump stayed stuffed, whacking out a constant blast even when zinging over other boat's wakes. In this sense it is a different animal to its predecessor and is mainly thanks to a new top-loading intake grate with longer inlets. Working deliciously well with the scoop grate is a
new fat-boy aluminium racing pump: an axial-flow, single stage, large
hub with ten-vane stator that is 18 mm wider than the old RXP's. But
the top-loading grate and the angle that the impeller has been pitched
at means that the horse power won't reach the top end so the skis can't
. exceed 65mph the maximum speed set by Coastguards in the US. However GPS readings were actually topping out at 68.8 mph and, speaking to Tim McKercher from BRP's Media Relations team, he said: "It would be very easy to get more speed out of the X craft. All you would need to do is fit a new grate that isn't such a top loader, so the power would reach the top end then add a new prop with a different pitch. You could get an extra four or five miles per hour out of them no problem."
What else? The cornering is fast, thanks to the handlebars and wider pump, although you have to be strong with it - this is no little girl's ski. The flatwater lake didn't really let me see how well the RXP-X would handle in surf but the hulls on both X models have been lengthened to accommodate the bigger grate, so the extra length and extra couple of pounds should help to prevent them slamming in choppier conditions. Likewise the trim system, now gratefully fitted to the RXT too, will aid handling in rough water. Controlling hard turns is helped by the low grippy seat and diamond grip mats, which let you shift your weight with confidence s you can counterbalance the G-force. But back to that trim: When fully trimmed out you can literally jump the whole ski clean out of the water. It is amazing fun. From neutral, with one crank of the throttle you clear the whole hull from the wet stuff and even flick little mid-air turns. Plus the 'quick shift' makes it easy to adjust the trim - there's no need to wrsnch 3 handle I grip against the force of the jet, you just push a button up or down. The RXP-X is a full on thrill ride. After an hour on the water I came back in and had heart palpitations for nearly the same amount of time again. Mad as a box of frogs.
the Ultra by at least two ski lengths. The Ultra was quick, don't get me wrong, but the Sea Doos were well ahead. Aside from the speed, another factor working in Sea-Doo's favour, is that, according to BRP's figures, the RXT-X is 58 per cent more fuel efficient than the Ultra 250.
I slowed down for this run, using my time to check out the speedo, info gauges and general appearance of the boat. The curvy displays look cool but are harder to view than the old RXP, especially if you're doing a zillion miles per hour. Styling, of course, is totally subjective and for some people the metallic silver and orange colour scheme may be a bit garish but I reckon it rocks. The seat covers, gel coat and mats all have a wicked metallic finish that give the X craft a high-tec appearance but, combined with the orange, is curiously similar to the Hydrospace S4. Mmmm... Maybe BRP thought they would pip HSR-Benelli to the post before the release of their new runabout, or perhaps it's just a coincidence.
Sea-Doo has stepped up the level of performance by
forging a pair of warp-speed watercraft that will literally (as their
maxim goes) leave everything else behind. These craft are beasts, suitable
for the type of rider who's inherently got petrol pumping through their
veins and who always wants to be the fastest thing on the water. If
your muscles can handle it, these are the most exciting skis that money
can buy
