The suspension and brake-equipped Sea-Doo RXT iS 260 may have a lot in common with the suspension and brake-equipped GTX Limited iS 260, but Sea-Doo fans know the difference is in the digits…and yes, the letters, too.
Those new digits are 260, a number that reflects a subtle tweak to recapture some of the horsepower bragging rights Kawasaki snagged last year. And those letters reflect an R — think race-inspired — that indicates the RXT iS 260 is aimed squarely at the performance crowd.
Certainly the RXT iS has the goods to be a racer. Power is provided by Sea-Doo’s 1,494cc Rotax Triple, and boosted by a potent supercharger/intercooler combo. Last year that combo received a 255hp rating, but this year a few tweaks have upped that number to 260. Not so coincidentally, that’s the same horsepower rating as Kawasaki’s Ultra 260X. Obviously, bragging rights are important.
The suspension-style hull introduced in 2009 has upped the boat’s weight, as well as made it a little more top-heavy in feel. That arguably makes the boat a little less of a performer than the light and nimble old-school RXT line. It also, however, makes the boat a more worthy competitor to the aforementioned Ultra in rough water conditions. The boat feels big and secure in rough water, able to handle the waves with nary a twitch
