2007 KAWASAKI JET
SKI® ULTRA® LX: THE ULTIMATE SPORT-TOURING PWC
More comfort and versatility than ever before
When it comes to personal watercraft,
riders can’t have it all…or can they? JET
SKI watercraft riders seek powerful acceleration
from an engine loaded with race technology and the
precise handling of a hull developed with input from
championship-winning IJSBA race teams.
However, they also want a runabout that can
comfortably take the family out for a day of fun on
the water. The new JET SKI® Ultra® LX provides
rock-steady stability, for added piece of mind when
carrying passengers.
With a powerful marine engine producing 160
horsepower, the new Ultra LX is the largest and
best-riding hull Kawasaki has ever produced,
unrivalled range thanks to the industry’s largest
fuel tank, and unmatched passenger accommodations
and luxury features, the Ultra LX truly is a sport
tourer without equal. Best of all,
family-friendly design features mean riders of all
abilities can enjoy it to the fullest.
The foundation of the Ultra LX is the same deep
V-hull found in Kawasaki’s new Ultra 250X
flagship. It combines confidence-inspiring
high-speed stability and excellent rough-water ride
manners with responsive turning performance, thanks
to a hull 250mm longer and 50mm wider than our
current runabouts. The extra size—combined
with new hull characteristics give the Ultra LX the
rough-water handling and stability you need to enjoy
the engine’s impressive performance to the
fullest. That responsive, neutral handling also
reduces rider fatigue when banked over during high-g
cornering, and the hull’s deep 22.5o V-angle
easily cuts through swells and waves for a
confidence-inspiring ride when the conditions become
challenging.
The Ultra LX’s new handling features are enough to
satisfy most riders. However, it also delivers
a major dose of acceleration performance. Its 1,498
cc DOHC in-line four cylinder marine engine is
straight out of our top-of-the-line four-stroke
runabout, the STX®-15F. Tuned to produce an
impressive 160 horsepower, this engine provides the
kind of power that made JET SKI famous. The
race-tuned propulsion unit --also used on the Ultra
250X-- features a large-diameter 155mm jet pump
combined with an oversize impeller and jet nozzle to
turn the engine’s power into thrust. This
results in superb “bite” on the water, which
means stunning acceleration and enough speed to
satisfy even the most demanding sport riders.
The Ultra LX is as easy-to-use as it is fast,
luxurious and fun. It boasts a clever five-way
adjustable steering handle to suit a variety of
rider styles and sizes, making it possible to ride
in either a standing or sitting position. When
riders are in a more leisurely frame of mind, the
seat is designed for all-day comfort. They don’t
even have to leave anything behind, as there is 53
gallons of built-in storage capacity, plus a
detachable storage compartment that can hold even
more. And the fun can go on longer, thanks to the
20.6 gallon fuel tank, which gives the Ultra LX the
longest cruising ranges of any PWC in its class.
Ultra LX riders can pack up the family and gear,
without leaving their sense of adventure behind. The
all-new Kawasaki JET SKI Ultra LX offers a
combination of cutting-edge power, handling and
luxury features that set new standards for
sport-touring personal watercraft. Who says they
can’t have it all?
