by BRP 6 Apr 2023 10:11 UTC

BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO; NASDAQ: DOOO) is proud to announce the launch of its ground-breaking product range, as the Freestyler X becomes the latest addition to the industry-leading Quintrex lineup.

Backed by over 75-years of industry expertise, the all-new design will make waves in marine; redefining the boating experience with an enhanced interior and stern to bow layout, only made possible with the unrivalled Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology - an exclusive BRP design. Never seen before, the revolutionary on-board experience available on Quintrex Freestyler X models, is set to be the most innovative offering in the marine industry to date.

"Since the brand's inception, Quintrex has been at the forefront of innovation, inspired by a drive to continue challenging customer expectations, and lead the industry with design and modernisation. The launch of Freestyler X is the next step in our history as Australia's leading aluminium boat brand - representing our commitment to continue evolving the marine landscape with new designs that revolutionise boat performance and offer another level of fit and finish. Freestyler X represents the exciting future ahead, backed by a global leader in powersports; BRP. Designed for the whole family, whilst delivering more internal space, a Max Deck sunlounge, increased storage, and enhanced connectivity, this is a boat you will not want to miss," stated Madeline Bishop, Marketing & Communications Manager, Quintrex.

Revolutionary on-board experience

To unlock unparalleled boating experiences, BRP completely rethought, reimagined, and redesigned the engine for these boats. The new Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology, offered in 115 and 150 HP configurations, delivers all the same advantages of a traditional outboard engine - plus, three additional distinct and important advantages over them: it's stealthy, it's efficient, and it's hassle-free.

The engine is partially submerged underwater which lowers the top of it and frees up valuable stern space. Only the compact nature of ROTAX Direct Injection technology could make this possible. It's smooth and quiet at any speed, thanks to standard power steering, and fly-by-wire shift and throttle, ultimately delivering the best operating experience. Also, since there is no outboard engine block, rigging or exposed propeller hanging off the transom, Rotax Outboard Engines take safety at the stern to a new level and provides boaters with peace of mind.

The advanced direct-injection technology allows for up to 20% improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional outboard engines, meaning 20% more time on the water and 20% less money at the pump. Furthermore, Rotax outboard engines are the cleanest combustion engines in the marine industry, thanks to a 12% reduction in reportable emissions, and a close to 98% reduction in carbon dioxide at idle.

Boaters will also enjoy easy routine maintenance, and unprecedented total cost of ownership with annual inspections only, no scheduled maintenance required for the first 5 years or 500 hours, no oil changes, and one touch winterization. Also, the entire boat configuration has been optimized for that engine, including the hull, to ensure that all components work together in perfect harmony.

Ground-breaking design for ultimate customer experience

A finessed design from the inside out, a specialist team of designers and Research and Development experts have achieved the ultimate balance between aesthetics, plus on and off water performance. Thanks to the Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology, the Freestyler X delivers unrivalled internal space compared to traditional boats of the same size.

Built for the whole family, the new design delivers 13% more midship floor space than traditional Freestyler models - meaning more room for entertaining. With the redesigned underfloor ski locker and enhanced in-deck storage capacity, cup holders, improved dash storage and overhauled spacious side pockets, the boat capitalises on storage capacity to meet the needs of its 8-person capacity.

The seamless engine design allows for enhanced boat optimisation, extending the useable space to the extremities of the transom. Never seen before in the aluminium boating market is the all-new swim deck and sun lounge - championed as the Max Deck - an exclusive standard feature to all Freestyler X models. The fully integrated sun lounge provides an extra 90cm additional usable space meaning more comfort, more storage, and more recreation at the stern. Perfect for lazing in the sun, kickingback and relaxing, or onboarding from a swim or ski, the platform is crafted with utmost comfort and practicality to meet the needs of every style of boater.

From transom to stern, consumers can expect a completely overhauled product. Evolved from the innovative Apex Hull and complimented by the latest engine technology to-date, the Freestyler X delivers astounding performance whilst under way and at rest. The industry-acclaimed stretch-formed technology, coupled with the Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology, results in an impressively smooth, efficient, discrete, and safe package. The unparalleled hull build is consistently translated across the boat's interior with a new, modern internal design, which raises the standards of traditional aluminium boats.

The final product reflects stringent attention to detail with modern, premium-quality finishes and features. Standard inclusions comprise of a completely revamped interior with updated premium upholstery featuring new lines, new colour combinations and textures, and more. Quintrex has meticulously refreshed the overall look and feel of aluminium boats whilst encompassing an overall luxurious and modern vision for boating.

For the first time, Quintrex customers can enjoy an all-new flooring alternative, exclusively available on Freestyler X models. The new option will offer an overall luxurious experience whilst increasing the soft touch feel for underfoot comfort, durability with the underlying aluminium floor and enhanced safety thanks to its non-slip properties.

The dash and seating layout have also seen a thorough design review, geared towards further evolving the driver and passenger experience. A completely new windscreen offers improved visibility at the helm, no matter whether sitting or standing, whilst the tinted panes provide improved sun and heat protection. The streamlined design flows from windscreen to dash; framing the redesigned fascia.

Designed to push the boundaries with technological advancements, the Freestyler X offers enhanced housing capacity for the latest tech including up to a9" digital Lowrance control screen, plus connectivity capabilities. Behind the controls is a finetuned seating configuration, strategically positioned to achieve unmatched ergonomics. Comprehensive ergonomic assessments were performed throughout the design process for the helm and surrounding seating areas to create the most comfortable layout yet. Whether perched at the bow lounge, mid-ship at the helm, or at the transom, the Freestyler X delivers the most spacious, luxurious and refined aluminium boating experience on the water. The only question, is Where Next?

Championing the latest technology the Freestyler X is driven towards offering the hottest bowrider in the market. Driven to meet the needs of a wide range of customers, the vessel is available in three different configurations, namely; the 555 with a 115HP or 150HP engine, or the 595 with a 150HP engine. Thanks to its person capacity of up to eight people, the Freestyler X perfectly caters to families of all sizes, whilst delivering a luxurious, finetuned bowrider at an affordable price.
