2008 KAWASAKI JET SKI® ULTRA® LX: THE ULTIMATE SPORT-TOURING PWC

Comfort, range and versatility with superb performance

Watercraft riders seeking rock-steady stability, powerful acceleration and all-day comfort from a personal watercraft loaded with race technology need look no further than the JET SKI® Ultra® LX. The Kawasaki JET SKI model that set standards for sport-touring personal watercraft allows riders to pursue family fun and their sense of adventure with a blend of cutting-edge power and handling, unmatched passenger accommodations and luxury features.

The foundation of the Ultra LX is the same deep V-hull found in Kawasaki's Ultra 250X flagship. This hull combines confidence-inspiring high-speed stability and excellent rough-water ride manners with responsive turning performance. The responsive, neutral handling reduces rider fatigue when banked over during high-g cornering and its 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 handling features may be enough to satisfy most riders, but it also delivers a major dose of accelerative performance from its 1,498cc DOHC in-line four cylinder engine. It's the kind of power that made JET SKI watercraft 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 that converts the engine's power into 955 pounds of thrust. This translates into stunning acceleration and enough speed to satisfy even the most demanding sport riders.
