KAWASAKI ULTRA 250X
250 horsepower provides dominating performance
Kawasaki stunned the motorcycling world with the launch of its Ninja
ZX-14 flagship. It didnt take long for the mighty ZX-14 to assume its
rightful place as the quickest and fastest stock production motorcycle.
Now, Kawasaki extends its high-performance domination into the realm of
personal watercraft. As the most powerful production PWC in history,
Kawasakis new JET SKI Ultra 250X serves notice that ULTRA defines the
pinnacle of PWC performance.
The supercharged Ultra 250X delivers 250 horsepower for astonishing
acceleration that can be felt in the riders soul. Once up to speed, its
precise handling and superb stability are equally impressive, thanks to
a brand-new hull specifically designed to capitalize on the engines
awesome performance.
The JET SKI Ultra 250Xs new engine, jet drive and hull incorporate
racing technology refined through Kawasakis multiple IJSBA
championships. This same technology allows it to deliver the awesome
acceleration of a drag racer, and help ensure excellent hook-up even in
rough water.
With a 1,498cc marine engine derived from Kawasakis astounding JET
SKI STX-15F watercraft, the Ultra 250X produces power comparable to a
normally aspirated high-performance three-litre engine, thanks to the
addition of a Roots-type supercharger. Unlike centrifugal superchargers
or turbochargers, the Ultra 250Xs high-volume direct-drive supercharger
delivers boost virtually instantly at any engine speed from idle to
redline. This results in a linear, smooth torque curve which is ideal
for a personal watercraft that needs to accelerate hard all the way
from a standstill through astounding top-end speeds.
A common drawback of forced-induction is the heat build-up that
occurs when the intake air is compressed. The Ultra 250X overcomes this
with the use of a large-capacity intercooler. The 250Xs supercharger
compresses the air to a maximum boost pressure of 11.4psi. This
compression heats the intake charge to extremely-high temperatures,
which could limit the engines power output. However, the 250Xs
large-capacity intercooler cools the intake charge back down to ambient
temperature or even less ideal for producing maximum power.
The JET SKI Ultra 250Xs stunning acceleration is augmented by a huge
155mm jet pump featuring the largest PWC impeller and nozzle Kawasaki
has ever produced. Developed based on feedback from Kawasakis race
machines, this pump was specially designed to deliver predictable
thrust and good traction, even when riding on rough water. The pump
uses eight guide vanes (instead of the six used on previous models) to
regulate the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful
propulsion. This is a significant factor in the Ultra 250Xs
mind-boggling acceleration. The new pump incorporates a groove from the
center to the rear of the ride plate which makes it easier to hold a
stable heading when riding in a straight line.
To suit the 155mm jet pump a new, larger impeller was designed,
offering improved bite in the higher speed ranges. The sophisticated
three-blade design not only delivers high performance, but also
provides smooth and quiet operation.
In addition to more power and acceleration than any other production
watercraft on the planet, the Ultra 250X also boasts an all-new
race-developed hull. Extensive research and refinement has allowed
Kawasaki to design a brand-new hull which is just as comfortable in
rough conditions as in calm. Even at high speeds, rough water can do
little to deter the Ultra 250X. This combination of unearthly power
mated to the latest hull technology allows Kawasakis flagship to
literally cleave through waves that would send lesser machines running
for safe harbor.
In addition to its acceleration and top-speed capabilities, the
Ultra 250X also offers precise handling and superb stability, thanks to
a hull that was specifically designed to compliment the engines
incredible output. This fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) hull is
loaded with DNA from Kawasakis IJSBA championship winning machines.
This includes carefully designed sponsons and chines for enhanced
straight-line stability and precise cornering, combined with a 22.5
deep-V hull for a smoother ride in rough water.
In recognition of the tremendous power on tap, Kawasaki designed the
Ultra 250Xs hull to lean into corners like a motorcycle. This helps
passengers stay centered, and keeps the rider in control during peak
cornering g-forces.
The Ultra 250X features a five-step adjustable handlebar position
that allows either stand-up or sit-down riding for enhanced comfort and
versatility. As Kawasakis flagship watercraft, the 250X includes
thoughtful standard features like an enormous 53 gallon detachable
front storage compartment and a 20.6 gallon fuel tank (the largest in
its category) for substantial cruising range.
From horsepower to handling and everything in between, once the
spray settles after the first ride, one thing will be certain. As the
most powerful PWC in history, this ultra new JET SKI offers performance
and excitement that are unmatched by any other watercraft.
