Japanese firm Craftsman’s Movement has already released its own version of ride plate for the Kawasaki 1500 SX-R. The one pictured it was brought as a prototype at the World Finals. Quality wise it looks perfect however it is a very expensive ride plate since its cost rises at $500.

Jettrim made a unique appearance this year at the World Finals by setting an outstanding booth at the far side of the Performance Alley, the place where usually it was occupied by BRP or Kawasaki. By the way BRP was the only manufacturer this year which did not have a booth at the vendor alley although as a manufacturer was the only one which launched a new watercraft for 2018. Jettrim booth also hosted Vintage Museum in the same booth therefore, it created a meeting point for the pioneers of this sport.

Undoubtedly, this ski is in a class of his own and it did made a point in Pro Classes. Read all about it in the world exclusive review posted in Race Tests section.
