Raymarine’s latest introduction of its Cyclone open-array radars is designed to bring innovation and state-of-the-art technology and design to help boaters tackle the harshest conditions, navigate busy waterways and find their perfect catch.
Cyclone models include six high-power solid-state options, with two available in 3-, 4- and 6-foot arrays, and two high-power output options for each size. The cutting-edge, aircraft-wing-inspired design and next-generation innovation offers extreme capability to users. The Cyclone is the lightest open-array radar available, and its low profile allows for greater flexibility and adaptability when installing.
“Radars are a well-established fundamental to a captain’s awareness while on the water, but we wanted to push the boundaries on what was possible for such an important system component. When developing Cyclone, we challenged ourselves to create a radar that combines both beauty and high performance,” says Gregoire Outters, general manager for the Raymarine brand at Teledyne FLIR. “And we met this challenge with a groundbreaking design, rugged performance, and unmatched radar imagery. With Cyclone, we are disrupting the radar category and giving boaters an entirely new level of situational awareness on the water.”
Engineered to withstand extremes, Cyclone models have a wind rating of over 100 knots, feature 60 RPM rotational speed and offer 360 degrees of awareness, with accurate tracking of up to 100 distinct ARPA targets in real time. RangeFusion technology offers maximum visibility of near and far targets with one radar image that’s easy to interpret, and when it’s time for that big catch, Cylone’s Bird Mode can identify distant flocks of seabirds to help you target baitfish schools and the larger predators nearby.
All Cyclone models integrate seamlessly with Raymarine Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, and Axiom XL chartplotter multifunction displays. Retail prices range from $6,999.99 to $9,749.99 USD. To learn more, visit raymarine.com.
