Introducing the Worx x HP Tuners RTD: Tune Your Ski From Home

If you've ever wanted to tune your ski without sending it to a workshop or waiting around for a service slot, this one's for you. We sat down with Bobby to talk through one of our biggest R&D projects yet: the Worx RTD, built in partnership with HP Tuners.

What Does The Worx RTD Actually Do?

In short, it gives you the ability to read and write tunes to your ski straight from your phone. No workshop, no waiting. Plug the RTD in, connect through the Worx and HP Tuners app, and you're in control of your own tuning.

This has been a big focus of our R&D lately, especially on ECUs like the Sea-Doo MG1, which most riders know can't be tuned without hardware modifications.

How Does The Tuning Process Actually Work?

Run a basic read file on your ECU, that file uploads to the cloud under your account, we build custom tunes around it, and you can flash any of those tunes back into your ECU whenever you want. You can also restore your standard factory tune at any time.

Do I Need To Buy A New RTD For Every Ski?

No. Once you've bought the Worx RTD and the BRP cable, that hardware is yours to keep and use across as many Sea-Doo skis as you like. The only thing you need per ski is a licence, tied to that ski's VIN.

Is It Just For Tuning, Or Can It Do More?

The RTD also gives you live diagnostic channels (RPM, lambda, air-fuel ratio, manifold pressure), the ability to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, and data logging so you can capture a session and send it to us through the cloud for a custom tune.

Putting It To The Test

We took a prototype Sea-Doo out for a proper test day running Worx flash tunes through the HP Tuners platform and saw solid gains in speed, throttle progression and throttle response. A Yamaha GP1800 on the same day saw similarly strong results.

Final Thoughts

This is the result of months of prototyping, testing and refining, between our team and HP Tuners. If you're ready to take control of your own tuning, check out the Worx x HP Tuners Remote Tuning Bundle for your platform.
