KEY FEATURES
Lightweight Hull
Kawasaki Smart Steering/SLO-Mode
The Kawasaki Smart Steering (KSS) supplementary steering system is designed to assist new riders as they learn turning and manoeuvring of a personal watercraft.
5-way Adjustable Handle
True 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.
Powerful, Aggressive Styling
The ULTRA LX gets more aggressive styling care of a redesigned front face with more edged contours. Intake-style design at the bow contributes to the powerful, aggressive image. Front hatch has a flatter design, conveying an image of speed.
Sponsons & Side Bumper Fins
Sponsons 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.
