MAKE WAVES

Built into the grab bar behind the seat is a wake pylon connected to the deck and runs through a unique rope storage compartment. This compartment provides a convenient place to keep the rope out of the way when not in use.

The specially designed wake sport-focused seat with slip-resistant material features 2 passenger seats (middle and rear) at an even height providing comfort when facing backwards.

Wake Mode is designed to smooth out engine response at lower speeds, assisting the wakeboarder when transitioning to standing. When active, fuel injection settings are optimized for smooth engine response, giving the wakeboarder more confidence.

The extended rear deck offers ample room for securing gear. Multi-mount rails are built into the deck to accommodate accessory slide mounts for convenient tie-down points.

Kawasaki Splash Deflectors are ridges across the bottom of the bow that deflect water splashing forward from under the hull. A fourth splash deflector mounted at the top reduces spray during high-speed turns.

Built-in cleats on each side are convenient cinch points when mooring.

A large 21.1-gal (80 L) fuel tank is ideal for more wakeboarding fun between fill-ups.

With 45.4-gal (171.7 L) of total storage on board, there’s plenty of space for gear. A 32.8-gal (124 L) sealed front compartment is complemented by the 10.6-gal (40 L) easy-access storage (behind the handle and accessible from left or right), a 0.5-gal (1.7 L) waterproof compartment (inside easy-access storage), and a 1.6-gal (6 L) compartment for rope storage behind the seat. Dual cup holders keep your drinks secure and conveniently within reach.

Loaded with technology from Kawasaki’s IJSBA championship-winning machines, the Deep-V hull provides superb handling, precision, and control.

Control your riding experience with advanced electronics such as Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM) offering 2 modes for maximum acceleration.

Power Mode selection allows you to choose from 4 power modes for full, middle, and low power operation as well as Smart Learning Operation (SLO)-Mode.

An electric trim-control system adjusts the attitude of the hull to suit water conditions and riding style, and a One-Touch 5 MPH mode conveniently regulates rpm to maintain constant speed in "no-wake zones.”

Electronic Cruise Control is convenient for long-distance cruising where fixed speed (rpm) is specified and can be adjusted up or down by the push of a button.

The Kawasaki Smart Steering® system is a supplementary steering system designed to assist riders as they learn to turn and maneuver the JET SKI® ULTRA® 160. The system can detect the rider’s steering input and speed of operation and automatically increases engine speed to provide additional thrust, even when the throttle is not being applied. If speed is low, the system does not operate.

Kawasaki Smart Reverse with Deceleration (KSRD) electrically deploys the reverse bucket. The reverse assist system is activated when a thumb switch on the right handlebar is pushed, enabling the thrust to be controlled with one hand. When the thumb switch is fully depressed, the Trim up and down buttons can be used to increase or decrease the engine rpm to adjust thrust, allowing for more precise control when maneuvering the watercraft in tight spots, such as docking. When the reverse thumb switch is released, the drive mode returns to neutral, and the engine returns to idle.

Reverse Assist is active when the reverse thumb switch is fully depressed. The Trim control buttons (UP/DOWN) can then be used to increase/decrease engine rpm to adjust thrust. This is helpful when backing your JET SKI® out of a trailer into the water. When the reverse thumb switch is released, drive mode switches to Neutral and the engine returns to idle.

The 3D deck design offers a 3-dimensional feel and complements the dynamic styling.  

LED lights are built into the bumper and add to the stylish and unique look.  

When linked to a smartphone via Bluetooth®, call and message notifications received will be indicated on the instrument display. The instrument’s large screen size makes it ideal for infotainment functions. Available in the JET SKI® ULTRA® 160LX-S WAKESPORT PWC family is smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS^†. You can unlock trip logs, group-ride tools, and maintenance records—connecting you to your ride in a whole new way.   

Features like the programmable waypoint indicator (GPS-based), vehicle information (including trim condition and preferred trim settings), and audio track display (when linked to an iOS-type smartphone) offer both information and entertainment value. 

Easily program highly convenient waypoint functions displaying the distance and direction to a destination. 

A rearview camera is mounted behind the rear seat and can be monitored via the instrument panel, offering a supplemental rearward view behind the vehicle. This is extremely convenient when towing a wakeboarder or docking.
