Supercharged & Intercooled

The Ultra 260LX’s liquid-cooled 1,498 cm3, In-line 4-cylinder engine gets machine-finished pistons to boost compression. The high-lift cams and ignition along with a supercharger and intercooler, give the Ultra 260LX an output of 260 PS claiming the title as the most powerful production PWC in the world.

Fuel Injected

High-flow fuel injectors with 4 orifices are fitted to complement the high power output and to improve combustion efficiency. A single throttle body is used with a bore diameter of 60 mm.

Revised Impeller

To suit the 155 mm jet pump, the Ultra 260LX's revised impeller features blades with less twist to match the high power output of the engine for better acceleration performance.

Race Bred Hull Design

Designed using feedback from Kawasaki's IJSBA Championship winning machines, the hull is longer and wider than that of the STX-15F and offers the industry's best stability responsive handling in calm and rough water. Deep 22.5 degree V-angle at the bottom of the hull provides better "grip" for racing like performance.

Large Capacity Storage

The large-capacity, fully sealed 200-litre storage area has plenty of room for recreational equipment. A detachable storage compartment is also fitted.

Plush Luxury Seat

The Ultra 260LX boasts a plush luxury seat with separate spaces for each passenger that provides a more secure, planted feel.

Adjustable Handlebars

The handlebars are 5-way adjustable and suit a wide range of riders and riding styles. The relatively narrow seat is very comfortable for either stand-up or seated riding, as well as for passengers.

Highly Developed Sponsons

Highly developed sponsons minimise porpoising to provide stable straight-line performance while helping to retain the machine’s narrow overall design. They also contribute significantly to the Ultra 260LX’s responsive handling when changing direction, particularly at higher speeds.

Quattro KSD

Kawasaki Splash Deflectors (KSD) deflect water splashing forward from under the hull. Whether turning or blasting straight ahead, at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimises spray for enhanced ride comfort.

Body Flange & Bumper

The bottom of the hull slants upwards steeply from the centre section to the bow, allowing the Ultra 260LX to penetrate swells and waves with less shock. At low speeds the result is great stability; at higher speeds the Ultra 260LX’s massive thrust enables the hull to push through waves rather than bounce over the top of them.

Extended Cruising Range

Offering more fuel capacity than any machine in its class, the Ultra 260LX’s 78-litre fuel tank holds 14 litres more than the JET SKI STX-15F, making long distance cruising even more accessible and inviting.

Kawasaki Smart Steering

Designed to assist inexperienced riders, the Kawasaki Smart Steering system is electronically linked to an on-board microprocessor and automatically adjusts engine speed and thrust while cornering to ensure a smooth, controlled turn.

Beginner Friendly

The Ultra 260LX features Kawasaki’s innovative electronic Smart Learning Operation (SLO) system which can be programmed to speed-limit the engine to assist novice riders in mastering their riding technique without worrying about excessive speeds.

Rear Boarding Step

A long rear boarding step makes it easy to climb on board in deep water. When not in use, the step retracts neatly inside the bumper to prevent entanglement or damage.

Silent Cleaning System

The Ultra 260LX features a silent cleaning system to purge sea water used to cool the engine. Because operation can be done with the seat still fitted, it is virtually noiseless. Fitting a separate connecting tube is quick and easy.

Jet Pump

To effectively convert the 260 PS output into thrust, the Ultra 260LX utilises a 155mm jet pump, designed using eight guide vanes. The pump delivers superior “traction” in rough water conditions and significantly contributes to the Ultra 260LX’s mind-boggling acceleration.
