![]() I started on the two-up model in Touring mode (60 HP) and was moving faster than I thought this toy-sized PWC would be capable of almost instantly. With such a small and short hull, and with so little weight, the Sea-Doo Spark absolutely flies. Turns out, the more accurate comparison will probably be something like the KTM RC390 or KTM 300 EXC. Based on the price and weight spec and all the attention to emissions and noise levels, I was prepared to get on the best entry-level PWC on the market. ![]() This means you don't have to worry about flushing the engine out when you finish riding and are loading the ski.Īfter the presentation the night before and the morning demonstration about how easily the deck and hull could be separated, I was pretty sure that this part of the review would look the exact same as our review of the Honda CBR250 or Ninja 300. Sea-Doo uses a closed loop cooling system in the Spark, which basically acts as a radiator. Walking between the different docking areas, I wouldn't hear the Spark on the water until I was maybe 20 yards away from the beach. The D-Sea-Bel system is basically a giant muffler in the rear of the Spark which greatly reduces any exhaust noise. ![]() The iBR (intelligent brake and reverse) can stop the watercraft up to 100 ft sooner than others on the market and also makes docking incredibly easy with the reverse function. The Spark also incorporates features found in many of its higher priced siblings. As with motorcycles, the Spark uses a fly-by-wire system that, in the HO engine, allows you to electronically choose between a Touring and Sport fueling options. They offer two versions, the regular Rotax 900 ACE and the Rotax 900 ACE HO (high output) which is chipped to offer more horsepower. The engine is the same Rotax 900 ACE engine found in many of the new Ski-Doo models. This will cut down both service time and expense as you no longer have to gain access through tiny service doors as is typical for PWCs. I was skeptical, but after watching the demo, I can say they've cracked the code. Why? You can literally unscrew the deck from the hull in about 10 minutes, giving you completely open access to work on any of the internal bits that need attention. Instead of gluing the hull to the deck, as is customary on other PWCs, they found a way to screw them together while maintaining structural integrity and a proper seal. In real life though, it just looks like plastic. It also has the added benefit of a matte finish that is often seen in the automotive space. They chose this because it was lighter than the typical fiberglass that is used in pretty much every other PWC on the market. The hull and deck are made from a material called Polytec, which is a low-density (lightweight) and high-impact composite material that is also 100% recyclable. They are essentially the same, but the 3up has a longer seat and an additional section bolted onto the back for additional stability and buoyancy. The Spark comes in two different versions, the 2up and 3up. That said, the Spark is an all new beast while also incorporating several features from some of its more expensive siblings. Oh, and that you could get two for the price of one. They gave it the code name "CAFE" which stood for Clean, Affordable, Fun, and Easy to use. Making it easier to pull off tricks like a pro.To combat industry trends, BRP set out to make the lake feel bigger by making the Spark small, fast and financially accessible.
