From celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jet Ski to continued innovations in the KX450 and Mule side-by-side lines, Kawasaki’s new model announcements today continue to push the powersports industry forward. Here’s a look at some highlights:

2024 JET SKI® STX® 160 SERIES 

The Jet Ski® STX®160 series is powered by a DOHC, 16-valve, parallel 4-cylinder and 1498cc engine. It utilizes a balanced hull, ergonomic riding position, large fuel tank and storage compartment, along with several easy-to-use rider aid functions to create a comfortable and exciting three-seat personal watercraft that appeals to a wide range of riders.

Riders can select from four power modes (full, middle, low and SLO) to suit riding conditions or skill level. Its race-inspired hull allows the Jet Ski Ultra 310 to be handled with accuracy and precision. Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM) offers two modes to benefit acceleration, while Kawasaki Smart Reverse with Deceleration (KSRD) allows for reverse assist options when navigating tight spots. A 7” TFT instrumentation adorns the dash of the Ultra 310 series and features Bluetooth® connectivity as well as multiple display modes.
