Taiga Motors Corporation (“Taiga”) (TSX: TAIG), a leading developer of electric off-road vehicles, announced today the launch of its online configurator tool. Customers who have deliveries slated for this year now have the unique ability to order and customize their Orca personal watercraft. Along with the configurator, Taiga also released model details, specifications, and colours. Taiga continues to redefine the powersport landscape by offering innovative electric technologies as well as customization designed to help customers build the perfect ride. Each customer will also be paired with a Taiga experience specialist to help tailor their Orca from configuration to demonstration experience and to final hand-off. “We are excited to take the next step in driving preorders and fulfilling deliveries by launching our Orca online configurator,” said Samuel Bruneau, CEO of Taiga. “Our team has demonstrated an impressive agility to mitigate the production delays resulting from the global microprocessor shortage by designing a new chip architecture that will bring both watercraft and snowmobile platforms into production in 2021. We have also taken the opportunity to make additional investments to increase production capacity in our Montreal facility to meet rapidly growing demand for our watercraft.”
Taiga has expanded manufacturing and R&D activities to a second facility in Montreal that will more than double its previously planned production footprint in the interim period while its high-volume Shawinigan facility is under construction. To address the global semiconductor shortage, Taiga has worked diligently to source alternative supplies for its vehicles and has adjusted its manufacturing processes to accommodate such alternatives. Taiga will begin production of both the Orca Carbon and Founder’s edition models this summer with initial deliveries beginning in September 2021. Alongside watercraft production, Taiga’s Orca Sport and Performance models are now expected to begin production in early 2022. Taiga’s Orca models are born from years of testing by hundreds of users across lakes, rivers, and oceans for uncompromising access to on-water adventures. Orca Carbon and Founder’s edition models redefine the recreational watercraft experience with silent operation, a unique carbon composite hull with leading power-to-weight ratios, maintenance-free ownership, and intelligent connectivity.

Sea-Doo Spark TrixxLooking for a personal watercraft that's both affordable and fun to ride? Check out Sea-Doo's Spark, a budget-priced model that already has the playful feel and handling of old-school PWCs. But if you're looking to take your fun to the next level, consider the new-for- Spark Trixx. Designed with freestyle enthusiasts in mind, the Spark Trixx comes with a collection of add-ons that enhance the craft's maneuverability and performance. One of the key upgrades is a retooled version of Sea-Doo's electronic Variable Trim System (VTS). With increased upward and downward range, the Trixx can achieve angles as high as 17 degrees upward and negative-6 degrees downward, providing even more control and precision. The Trixx also features chocks at the rear of the footwells, angled at 60 degrees, which help you maintain control when the running angle gets vertical. And with a new handlebars column that includes an adjustable aluminum riser, you can raise the handlebars as much as 6 inches beyond the norm to give yourself additional leverage. If you're looking for a personal watercraft that's both affordable and fun to ride, the Sea-Doo Spark Trixx is definitely worth considering. With its freestyle-enhancing add-ons and improved handling, this PWC is sure to provide hours of entertainment on the water. And with its sleek design and durable construction, it's built to last for years to come. Sea Doo Spark TrixXSea-Doo’s Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR) uses a modified, electronically controlled reverse bucket to offer both braking power at speed and gearlike forward, neutral and reverse handling around the dock or ramp. Sea Doo Spark TrixxSea-Doo's press introduction of the craft proved that even relatively novice riders were able to perform basic wheelies with ease on the Spark Trixx. Meanwhile, more experienced PWC riders were able to take things up a notch, quickly turning the craft's bow-to-the-sky posture into impressive spinning tail stands or upward hops. While trimming the nozzle down below the norm was promised to make it easier to stab the bow into the water after a jump, or even submerge the nose, we found these maneuvers a little more challenging to execute. However, it's clear that the Trixx is built to send it skyward, but that doesn't mean the fun is limited to vertical tricks. In fact, we discovered that trimming the nozzle upward made the craft easier than ever to execute power slides and even 180-degree spins on the water's surface, providing a whole new level of excitement for riders. Sea-Doo Spark TrixxDon't be fooled by the Trixx's size and playful demeanor; this personal watercraft packs a punch. Built with a reinforced polypropylene hull and deck and powered by a 90 hp Rotax 900 HO ACE engine, the Trixx offers excellent power-to-weight ratio and can reach speeds of up to 48 mph with impressively zippy throttle response.
While 48 mph may not sound like much, it's important to keep in mind that the Trixx is designed for maximum fun and maneuverability, not just top speed. And with its combination of sturdy construction and powerful engine, this PWC is able to achieve impressive speeds while still maintaining its playful spirit. So whether you're looking to cruise along the water or perform daring tricks, the Trixx is more than up to the challenge. For more info go to Sea-Doo.com Bobby Boop Impellers.com |
