Everything we know about personal watercraft goes into this normally aspirated version of our ultimate JET SKI. Its super-reliable fuel-injected 1,498cc four-stroke engine produces eye-opening thrust via a race-derived 155mm jet pump, while its deep-V hull provides outstanding handling. A five-way adjustable steering handle combined with a luxury touring seat help make the Ultra LX one of the sweetest, most comfortable long-distance PWCs available, whether you’re really hauling or just cruising. Then there’s its ergonomic deck design and retractable boarding deck, built-in cooler and 53 gallons of storage, left-side reverse lever… the list goes on. We don’t call it Ultra for nothing.
Naturally aspirated power, supernatural comfort and performance
Everything we know about personal watercraft goes into this normally aspirated version of our ultimate JET SKI.

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 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 956 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 60 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.
