    Rickter Flow guard

    THE RICKTER FLOW GUARD EFFECTS

    The Flow guard is a performance part that was designed specifically for watercraft applications and especially for freestyle

    - Prevents the water flow to from the outside of the pump entering between the restriction nozzle and steering nozzle then breaking the flow water inside of the pump.
    Result: loss of power

    - Prevents back spray when turning the steering nozzle and loss of internal pump pressure
    Result: gain of power

    - Stops the pumps to spray into the exhaust causing engine bog on acceleration during turn and maneuvers .

    Tested and approved by
    Rick Roy, Rok Florjancik and Nac Florjancik

    These have been tested back to back with a competition XFS, with and without the part.

    The test showed 3 to 4 feet of height loss on all our jumps without the Flow guard

    That was pretty shocking how much power we have been losing all these years.

    The flow guard was developed By Ninja in Japan : years of testing involved

    Full carbon $475

    visual carbon and fiberglass $350
    The new flow guard:
    a must to have for serious rider.

    That is a insane amount of improvement if this takes you from 6 foot flatwater rolls to 10 footers???!!!

    wow! if that much is to be gained these things should be like gold. especially for the small price of 350 for a glass version.

    These are almost identical other than the actual weight and layup of the part is fiberglass

    are they intended for short hulls?? (ie, when the pump hangs out the back of the ski)?? or are there benefits to be had on any kind of ski?

    I am thinking Short hulls with quick steer, trim and rear exhaust . The typical ride plate covers the turn nozzle on a full length hull

    they bolt to the reduction nozzle
    they are in production right now and will be trim specific . they will work on top pull trim like oem and thrust trim with top side are . i am sure they can work on xmetal trim with a little tweaking and some others as well that the pulling arm towards side . but there will be each different version depending on trim are location

    Looks great. I've seen some Facebook pictures of boxes full of them in Japan. I'd assume that they will be hitting the states within the next couple weeks

    I think that Thrust is a RRP Distributor unless there was a merger that nobody knows about
