Idag släppte Yamaha informationen kring 2014 modellprogram.
Smider i det tysta..
Medans både Seadoo och Kawasaki varit upptagna med att spänna musklerna och tävlat i något form av effektrejs senaste åren där man inför varje ny modell kastat på kaxigare dekaler med högre siffror, så har Yamaha mest glidigt med i kölvattnet utan att göra så mycket väsen från sig mer än att jobbat med mindre barnsjukdomar. Tills nu!
SVHO heter den nya motorn som innefattar en rad uppgraderingar men vi går direkt till det trevligaste med effektökningen på hela 20% från fjolårets SHO motor. Med andra ord borde effekten hamna kring 260-270hk!
För att uppnå detta har Yamaha gjort följande uppgraderingar/förbättringar.
Bland annat:
- Ökat laddtryck tack vare ett större kompressorhjul (6 bladigt 86mm vs 5 bladigt 82mm)
- Större intercoooler (25% bättre verkningsgrad)
- Nya hållbarare kolvar
- Förbättrad oljekylning (110% bättre enligt Yamaha)
- Uppgraderat bränslesystem
Pumpen & drivningen har även den fått sig en REJÄL översyn där man har överdimensionerat det mesta för att klara av effektökningen och påfrestningarna. Nu mäter pumphuset/impellern imponerande 160mm mot tidigare 155mm. Kan tyckas som en liten ändring men dessa storlekar på pumphus till Yamaha har tidigare bara varit tillgängliga som dyra eftermarknadstrimdelar. Nu kommer all den där extra effekten verkligen till nytta.
- Insugsgallret har fått ett aggresivare hook samt förstärkt med 2st extra bultar för att bemästra krafterna.
2014 FZR
Med dessa uppgraderingar kommer Yamaha ge motståndarna en tuff match! För en FZR/FZS rakt ur kartongen kommer vara en riktig killermaskin 2014.
“This is a huge year for Yamaha WaveRunners with the introduction of the most powerful, highest performing engine we’ve ever placed in a WaveRunner,” said Scott Watkins, Yamaha’s product manager. “And we didn’t just stop at the engine. We enhanced every single performance component surrounding this new engine to get the absolute most performance and dialed in handling we could get. The models featuring our new SVHO engine deliver race ready performance right out of the box.”
The New Yamaha Super Vortex High Output Motor
The new Super Vortex High Output engine is a purpose-built 1812cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder, supercharged and intercooled Yamaha Marine engine. All models featuring the SVHO engine will also come with a new 160mm, eight-vein jet pump for maximum thrust volume and hook up.
In addition, cooling efficiency has been increased by 25 percent, the supercharger air intake by 20 percent with a larger diameter supercharger impeller and Yamaha increased supercharger boost by 60 percent. Yamaha increased oil cooling efficiency by 110 percent with an all new oil cooling system and the SVHO engine features an advanced fuel injection system to increase fuel flow and added high-performance forged pistons to deliver peak power.
A New Flagship – The 2014 Yamaha FX SVHO Series
For 2014, Yamaha’s FX Series of luxury performance WaveRunners are led by the new FX Cruiser® SVHO™ and FX® SVHO™ models. These models offer the ultimate combination of luxury features with the most powerful engine ever in a Yamaha WaveRunner. Designed for the consumer who wants it all, the new FX Cruiser SVHO and FX SVHO raise the bar of what’s possible when luxury and performance meet on the water. These models are fast, packed with features while remaining lightweight thanks to Yamaha’s proprietary NanoXcel hull and deck.
Ultra High Performance: The New 2014 Yamaha FZ Series
The Yamaha FZR® and FZS® have always been the epitome of high performance, race inspired engine design and achievement. For 2014, they get a double digit power boost from the SVHO engine that is matched with a new 160mm, 8-vein pump, new sponsons, a new ride plate and a new top loader intake grate, that together help this unit stay glued to the water during high speed turns.
For the buyer looking for the fastest WaveRunner on the water, there is no equal to the 2014 FZR and FZS. It was designed from concepts proven in world championship closed course racing, and now they can be purchased at a dealership near you.
Entry Level Meets High Tech
The value oriented VX line gets Yamaha’s exclusive NanoXcel hull and deck material that is lighter and stronger than before. In all, the Yamaha VX® Cruiser and VX Deluxe are 65 pounds lighter, making them the lightest weight three-person watercraft today. Along with the weight savings, these models see enhancements in acceleration, fuel efficiency and handling.
“We are pushing new boundaries with this lineup in 2014. We are upping what was already the largest displacement engine in the industry, and taking it to a whole level. And with nanotech engineered hulls and decks on our VX models, entry level buyers will have amazing experiences on the water,” said Bryan Seti, Yamaha’s national marketing manager.
The 2014 Yamaha WaveRunner line is Yamaha’s largest ever with 14 distinct models when including the competition-only Yamaha SuperJet™. More information on the new 2014 WaveRunner models is available at: www.yamahawaverunners.com
