Innovations from the Yamaha company: the hydrocycles of the 2014 model year

In the second half of last year, representatives of the American division of the Yamaha company were officially announced launching a new line of hydrocycles of the 2014 model. Engineers of the company did not significantly change the previous modifications of water scooters, however, certain innovations of some Yamaha (hydrocycles) still got. About them and will be discussed in this article.

New engine

Without a doubt, the main innovation was the appearance of a new engine. It will be installed on almost every Yamaha hydrocycle. The technical characteristics of models equipped with it are the highest of all that were produced by the company during its existence. The engine has a working volume of 1812 cubic centimeters. This four-stroke power unit consists of four cylinders and is equipped with an intercooler. Precise indicators of its advantages over its predecessor are not yet known for certain. At the same time, according to the official announcement of the Yamaha company, the hydrocycles of the year 2014 became more powerful by about 25 percent. In addition, it remains a mystery - or the new engine will be installed on all modifications from the "Waverunnen" line, or exclusively on the flagship models that are considered FZR, FX SVHO, FZS and FX Cruiser SVHO.

Other innovations

In addition to the power plant, Japanese engineers call some other nodes their real pride. In particular, in this case we are talking about a new eight-channel pump, which is equipped with new "Yamaha" (hydrocycles). The developers claim that it provides the optimum ratio of engine volume and traction. It's no secret that increasing the power of the power plant of a water motorcycle leads to the fact that it becomes "sharper". Engineers took into account this nuance in the development of new products and paid due attention to improving their manageability. At first glance, the changes are not so noticeable, but a slight correction of the hulls made it possible to make scooters very stable.

The debut of the line of 2014

In order to better acquaint potential customers with their products, the manufacturer has released a special video. It is devoted to the FZ series. After watching it, it becomes clear that the new Yamaha hydrocycle (photo can be seen above) is a very good solution for those who like to ride "with the breeze". Everyone had the opportunity to look at the series "Waverunner" in action during the American regular season, where she made her official debut. It should be noted that the company's water motorcycles participate in it regularly and have repeatedly become triumphant here.

The cost of new water motorcycles

In conclusion, we should mention the cost of new products. The prices for Yamaha (hydrocycles) of the 2014 model year are approximately the same. In particular, for the model FZR, as well as for the FX Cruiser SHO, will have to shell out 14990 US dollars. They are the most expensive of the entire line. Modification FX SHO will cost $ 14,399, and VXS - at 11399. The most affordable option is the VX Sport model, which costs only $ 7,999.
