Behold the Jet SKi

watercraft that’S got everyone’S attention.
The one that will ripple your muscles with brutal acceleration. The one with the most
technologically advanced hull on the planet that slices through some of the roughest water
with incredible stability and slashes through the tightest of turns – all while being
the envy of the lake. The new 2009 ULTRA® 260X is not only the most powerful
JET SKI watercraft Kawasaki has ever produced, but the most audacious
personal watercraft in history. Period. Developing a
competition-crushing 260 horsepower* from its
supercharged, intercooled and digitially fuel-
injected 1,498cc DOHC Marine In-Line Four
engine, the Ultra 260X is quite simply the
most dominant personal watercraft
you can buy. Need we say more?

delivers a record 260 horsepower thanks
to new 8.4:1 compression-ratio pistons,
high-li ft c amshaf ts, more aggressive ign ition
timing and stronger engine cases.
2. The variab le- dead rise V-Botto m
hull provi des bo th h igh stab ility and
responsive handling in all water conditions.

analog 9000 -rpm tacho meter, d igital
speedometer, boost gauge and
multifunction display for instantaneous
access to critical data.
