Leave it to sea-doo to think big. More than any other manufacturer, sea-doo has consistently pushed the pwc industry forward with new performance benchmarks and innovative product ideas. For 2009, it brings an unprecedented level of technology to the water, ideas that solve problems most pwc riders didn’t know they had. Sea-doo, however, imagined both these features and brings them to market on its new gtx limited is. Most of the technology on the gtx limited is 255 relies on the brain power of an on-board computer that sea-doo calls icontrol, which integrates the suspension system, drive-by-wire throttle functions, gps-based speed control, off-throttle steering and the braking function. With the engine off, the suspension system is programmed to settle all the way down, for better stability and easier towing. In its auto mode, the suspension is adaptive – it senses the weight of rider and passenger on the seat, and uses the hydraulic motor to adjust pre-load accordingly. When underway, icontrol monitors suspension travel, and if the suspension bottoms out it will add preload to stiffen the spring action. Ride onto a calmer area, and the suspension will automatically go back to a softer setting. There is also a manual mode, which allows the rider to select one of nine pre-load settings using a rocker switch on the left handlebar. In the manual mode, the pre-load stays fixed at the selected setting.
