Supercharger and Intercooler-equipped Engine

Fitted with a supercharger and intercooler, the ULTRA 260X’s liquid-cooled 1,498 cm3,
In-line 4-cylinder engine produces an output much greater than a normally aspirated
engine of the same displacement. The roots type supercharger ensures powerful and
instant acceleration even from a standing start. A number of modifications to the engine
increase output to 260 PS, once again making this the most powerful production PWC in the world.

Capacious Storage

The ULTRA 260X offers a total storage capacity of 228 litres. The large-capacity, fully sealed 200-litre storage area has plenty of room for recreational equipment. A detachable storage compartment is also fitted. Mounted on the centre console is a detachable drink holder with space for two drink bottles. Integral with the under-seat rear grip is a compact storage area ideal for tools and other small items.

Jet Pump

To efficiently convert the ULTRA 260X’s massive 260 PS into thrust, a large diameter 155 mm jet pump is used. Developed based on feedback from Kawasaki’s race machines, this pump was specially designed to deliver breathtaking acceleration, stable output and good “bite,” even when riding in rough water. A large impeller designed to suit the 155 mm jet offers superior thrust in the higher speed ranges. The sophisticated 3-blade unit delivers both high performance and quiet operation. Revised impeller design features blades with less twist. Together with the ULTRA 260X’s increased engine output, the new impeller delivers increased acceleration performance. 8-vane guide smoothes and regulates the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion

Smart Learner Operation (SLO) mode

Smart Learning Operation (SLO)-Mode function allows newer riders to become familiar with the handling and response of this JET SKI watercraft at a more relaxed pace before unleashing the full power of the ULTRA 260X. Two separate keys (one for SLO-mode, one for full-power operation) prevent operating mistakes.

Kawasaki Smart Steering (KSS)

The KSS (Kawasaki Smart Steering) supplementary steering system is designed to assist new riders as they learn turning and manoeuvring of a personal watercraft. Experienced users may not even notice the system at all.

Quatro KSD (Kawasaki Splash Deflectors)

Ridges across the bottom of the bow, Kawasaki Splash Deflectors deflect water splashing forward from under the hull. First seen on the ULTRA 250X, a fourth splash deflector mounted at the top reduces spray during high-speed turns. Whether turning or blasting straight ahead, at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimises spray, allowing greater rider concentration.

Seaworthy Hull

Using feedback from Kawasaki’s IJSBA championship winning racing machines, the hull was specially designed to cope with the engine’s massive output and offers high stability
and responsive handling in both calm and choppy-water conditions. The lower hull is specially designed to distribute the engine and power delivery loads over a wide area. An additional strip of cloth reinforcement added on either side of the bow further strengthens and increases rigidity of the hull.
