The SeaDoo GTX Limited is the world's most advanced personal watercraft featuring the first braking system ever fitted to a personal watercraft. In attempt to make riding watercraft much safer, SeaDoo has raised the benchmark by designing, developing and fitting the GTX with the world's first computer controlled 'on water' braking system. The proprietary system gently coordinates an underwater cast aluminum brake and a reverse gear, to allow the GTX to stop in roughly half the distance of a traditional watercraft and without sending the rider over the handle bars.

In addition to the world's first braking system, SeaDoo has also fitted the GTX limited with the world's first full intelligent gas-shock suspension system and the world's first Stepped (s3) hull design for precise tunable handling. Other notable features include the following; a full reverse gear, an intelligent throttle control featuring the world’s first "neutral" for safe docking, automatic retractable mooring lines, tilt steering, a high performance variable trim system and a 255 hp supercharge intercooled Rotax 4-TEC engine. The SeaDoo GTX Limited iS 255 retails for $16,500 and should provide hours of adrenaline pumping and safe riding.
