The last thing you want your yacht to do is go nose-up. But a PWC? Sea-Doo makes it possible, on purpose, with the Spark Trixx. The new model has features that let you maneuver the watercraft more easily, for more fun.
The Spark Trixx is part of the lightweight Spark series, introduced a few years ago. Similar to other Sea-Doo models, the Trixx has both touring and sport modes. Touring mode is the typical cruising setting. Sport mode, engaged by pressing a button for three seconds, boosts speed and throttle response. The differences are all meant to let you perform tricks, whether you’re a longtime rider or relatively new to the sport.
For example, the handlebar has an adjustable riser that lets you position it 150mm higher than the standard Spark handlebar. Different positions within that range are possible, too, of course. The idea is to give you more flexibility in your maneuvers. If you plan to put the Spark Trixx nose up, as demonstrated in the video below, the step wedges come in handy as well. Aft on the watercraft, they’re exactly what they sound like: angled spots for your feet.
Also for nose-up tricks, there’s a beefed-up trim system. Sea-Doo calls it the Extended Range VTS (Variable Trim System). With a “normal” PWC, you can adjust its water nozzle while you’re operating the craft. The Extended Range VTS lets you adjust the nozzle longer. Not only can you keep the Spark Trixx’s nose up, you can practically ride vertically. Similarly, it lets you bury the nose for tricks as well.
To ensure the Spark Trixx stands out, the color combination shown is exclusive to the model. Of course, you can add a number of options to kit your craft out. They include a cargo net, a dry bag, snap-in fenders, and a safety-equipment kit. MSRP for the Spark Trixx: $7,299.
On a related note, while the Spark Trixx can carry two people, Sea-Doo warns against pulling tricks with anyone in the passenger seat.
