Ultra LX -
Long legged, versatile performer receives additional
touring comfort
Put commanding acceleration, long-distance
comfort and serene stability in the same sentence and that
can only mean the Kawasaki JET SKI® Ultra® LX sport-touring
personal watercraft. Loaded with race technology, Ultra
LX is the model that sets the standard for effortless family
fun. The addition of a new luxury touring seat that incorporates
specific support areas for the rider and passenger, allows
the Ultra LX to offer a more comfortable and relaxing ride.
It’s the hull – the same deep V-hull found in
Kawasaki’s Ultra 260LX flagship – that gives
the JET SKI Ultra LX confidence-inspiring high-speed stability
and excellent rough-water ride manners. The responsive turning
and neutral handling hull and its deep 22.5° V-angle
slices easily through swells and waves and fluently carves
banked turns without imposing high-g loads. This watercraft
dexterity reduces rider fatigue and makes for a confidence-inspiring
ride even when the conditions are challenging.
However, it’s not just handling that give the Ultra
LX its charm. The 1,498cc DOHC in-line four cylinder engine
is the other major element of the performance formula. The
race-developed propulsion unit – also used on the
Ultra 260X – features a large-diameter 155mm jet pump
combined with an oversize impeller and jet nozzle that converts
the engine’s power into 955 pounds of thrust. Its stunning,
smooth acceleration and power translate into enough speed
to satisfy even the most demanding sport riders.
Luxurious rider and refined passenger accommodations
polish off the Ultra LX’s sporty abilities. With
its specially designed supportive seat and smart five-way
adjustable steering handle, the Ultra LX suits a variety
of rider sizes and styles from a hard charging standing
to a leisurely sitting position.
While riders are enjoying the all-day comfort of the Ultra
LX, they can do so with the peace of mind that they have
brought everything with them in the industry leading 53 gallons
of built-in storage space, or in the detachable storage compartment
that can hold even more. Plus the fun can keep going on longer,
thanks to its largest in class 20.6 gallon fuel tank,
which gives the Ultra LX the longest cruising ranges of any
PWC in its class.
