Combining the hull from the ULTRA 300LX and a responsive 160 PS engine with good fuel economy gives the new ULTRA LX an appealing blend of sporty and comfort performance. The new hull offers excellent handing in both rough and calm water conditions. Equipped with the Luxury seat and a number of other flagship features, the ULTRA LX ensures its passengers travel in the luxury and comfort befitting the LX name.
HANDLING & TURNING PERFORMANCEThe new Jet Ski ULTRA LX comes equipped with the high-performance hull of the ULTRA 300LX. Loaded with technology from Kawasaki’s championship winning machines, the race-developed hull handles with precision and stability, with a high level of seaworthiness. In addition to contributing to the Ultra LX’s improved handling in both rough and calm water, the idealised strength balance helps realise a much lighter package. A revised steering nozzle also contributes to the much lighter handling.

Lightweight HullDeep-V hull design enables a high bank angle, motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces the lateral G-loads imposed on riders during turns, allowing them to better concentrate on riding. Measuring 22.5°, the idealised V-angle at the bottom of the hull helps prevent spinouts during sharp turns. As a result, the ULTRA LX delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft are famous.
|
Quattro KSDRidges across the bottom of the bow, Kawasaki Splash Deflectors deflect water splashing forward from under the hull. The fourth splash deflector mounted at the top reduces spray during high-speed turns. Whether turning or blasting straight ahead, at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimises spray, enhancing ride comfort. |
Sponsons & Side Bumper FinsSponsons extending from the hull and fins along the underside of the side bumpers provide stable straight-line performance (e.g. porpoising from start is minimised, etc) while helping to retain the machine’s narrow overall design. They also contribute significantly to the ULTRA LX’s high manoeuvrability when changing direction (particularly at higher speeds). |

SUPER RESPONSIVE ENGINE PERFORMANCEKicking out an impressive 160 PS at 7,500 rpm, the liquid-cooled, 1,498 cm3 In-line 4-cylinder Ninja supersport-based engine delivers the responsive performance that sport riders love. In spite of its high performance, this ultra-low emissions PWC easily clears the stringent CARB regulations. Engine strengthening items borrowed from the powerful ULTRA 300X ensure high durability and reliability.

Extensive Cruising RangeOffering a class-leading fuel capacity, the ULTRA LX’s 78-litre fuel tank makes long-distance adventures easy. Good fuel economy (especially compared to supercharged models), combined with the large fuel tank, ensures a long range between fill-ups |
Kawasaki SLO-ModeSmart Learning Operation (SLO)-Mode function allows newer riders to become familiar with the handling and response of this JET SKI watercraft at a more relaxed pace before operating the Ultra LX at full power. Two separate keys (one for SLO-mode, one for full-power operation) prevent operating mistakes. |
ReverseThe reverse lever, located on the left side for easy operation, features a new ergonomic design (for both the lever itself and the lock-release button) and offers much lighter operation. |
LUXURY AND COMFORT PERFORMANCEAlong with the new hull, the ULTRA LX gets aggressive new styling and all-digital instrumentation just like our flagship PWCs. To match its high-class looks, a number of flagship features offer a high level of quality and comfort. For instance, the 5-way adjustable steering handle suits a variety of riding styles and rider sizes, and makes sport riding possible while either standing or sitting. For more leisure-oriented families, the LXuryseat is designed for all-day comfort, with plenty of room for three. And there’s plenty of built-in storage capacity for recreational gear. The 78-litre fuel tank is also one of the largest in the industry, making the ULTRA LX a superb all-day touring partner. |

Storage capacity of 212 litresThe large-capacity, fully sealed 206-litre storage area has plenty of room for recreational equipment. A detachable storage compartment is also fitted. Mounted on the centre console is a detachable drink holder with space for two drink bottles. Integral with the under-seat rear grip is a compact storage area ideal for tools and other small items. |
5-way Adjustable HandleTrue to its racing roots, the ULTRA LX includes a 5-way adjustable handle that suits a wide range of riders and riding styles, allowing either stand-up or sit-down riding. |
Riding Position and ErgonomicsThe ULTRA LX is equipped with the LXuryseat, a scalloped seat designed for enhanced cruising comfort. Contoured for a good ergonomic fit, the LXuryseat offers ultra-comfortable accommodation for three. The seat’s steps can be compressed from above when sat upon, allowing riders to shift rearward during strong acceleration. In rough conditions, riders can sit on the steps, allowing the thick, impact-absorbing padding to do the work otherwise left to thigh muscles. |
