![]() Last year, The Watercraft Journal reported that Sea-Doo had experimented with a 1630cc three-cylinder in the tiny lightweight Spark hull. And it is for now unclear what will power the new models. Meantime, the design of the next-generation Sea-Doo Spark and Sea-Doo Spark Trixx remain under wraps. “The Sea-Doo Spark redesign has been pushed back minimum a year.” “And that leads me to believe that we are definitely not seeing the new-generation Spark anytime soon, because when it’s a big deal like a redesigned Spark, (Sea-Doo) makes a big deal about it. This year, they’re not doing a big (media event). “They have something new come out, they’re really good about getting (media) on units. ![]() “Sea-Doo does a really good job getting the media on brand-new skis really fast,” Shaw said in his latest YouTube broadcast. Kevin Shaw, the editor-in-chief of The Watercraft Journal, the world’s biggest Jet Ski website, has reported that major updates to the Sea-Doo Spark and Sea-Doo Spark Trixx twins have been postponed. ![]() Helpfully for Sea-Doo, the Spark and Spark Trixx remain hugely popular – and still look fresh – despite their age.Ĭompared to other Sea-Doo models, they are also less reliant on semiconductors, a shortage of which has slammed the brakes on production of Jet Skis, automobiles, and other tech-heavy industries. Watercraft Zone understands the Sea-Doo Spark and Trixx updates have been delayed while manufacturer BRP redirects its engineering resources to other more lucrative models across its vast portfolio. Priced from less than $8000 when it was introduced in 2014 (though pricing has since climbed to between $8769 and $13,699 excluding trailer and registration), the Sea-Doo Spark established a new entry point in the personal watercraft market globally. However, ongoing production interruptions appear to have put the brakes on the new Sea-Doo Spark and Trixx editions, while parent company BRP focuses on more profitable models in its watercraft range. Given the Sea-Doo Spark was introduced in 2014 – joined in 2018 by the tail-riding Spark Trixx – industry insiders were expecting to see an all-new model unveiled this year ahead of 2023 showroom arrivals. Sea-Doo changeovers usually occur nine years after the launch of the previous model. An all-new Sea-Doo Spark – and Sea-Doo Spark Trixx – were due to be unveiled this year, but the highly-anticipated second-generation models have reportedly been delayed until at least 2024.
