Features

Advanced Technology

  • ALL-DAY SUPPORT: The Jet Ski® Ultra® 160LX-S Angler watercraft is loaded with cutting-edge technology to help riders maximize fishing days on the water.
  • MOVE WITH PRECISION: Kawasaki Smart Reverse with Deceleration (KSRD) electrically deploys the reverse bucket. The reverse system is activated with a thumb switch on the right handlebar which enables 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 in tight fishing spots.
  • CHOOSE YOUR MODE: The all-new Jet Ski® Ultra® 160LX-S Angler watercraft provides riders the option to choose their power mode preference. Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM) offers two options for maximum acceleration, while Power Mode selection allows riders to choose from four power modes to best suit water conditions.
  • STAY IN THE KNOW: A large, easy-to-read 7-inch full-color TFT instrumentation offers multiple display modes (Digital Speedometer, Analogue Tachometer, Digital Speedometer + Jet Ski® Image), and also offers jog-dial control, Bluetooth® connectivity, and infotainment features.
  • TAKE CONTROL FROM YOUR PHONE: By connecting your smartphone to the watercraft via Bluetooth®, riders can stay connected and receive call and message notifications on the instrument display. The instrument’s large screen size makes it ideal for infotainment functions. 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.

Comfort & Convenience

  • ALL-DAY COMFORT: The all-new Jet Ski® Ultra® 160LX-S Angler watercraft is loaded with ultimate comfort and convenience features so fishing enthusiasts can focus on catching the Good Times.
  • SPACIOUS LEGROOM: Spacious footwells accommodate a wide range of riders by offering more legroom for increased comfort.
  • RIDE IN COMFORT: The all-new Jet Ski® Ultra® 160LX-S Angler watercraft boasts a flat two-piece fishing bench seat, spacious enough for two riders to turn sideways when fishing. The flat design makes it easy to move back and forth while providing access to the cooler and tackle gear in the rear.
  • ALL-DAY STORAGE: A convenient storage system offers a massive total storage capacity of 44.5-gallons (168.5L) which can accommodate an entire day's worth of essentials.
  • EASY ACCESS: Keep your high-use items close in the 10-gallon (40L) easy-access storage compartment. Inside the easy-access storage, an additional 1.7-liter waterproof compartment keeps electronics and valuables safe from water damage. Plus, an extra 2.8-liter of storage can be found in the easy-access pocket found in the rear of the seat.

Exclusive Fishing Features

  • GAME ON: The Jet Ski® Ultra® 160LX-S Angler watercraft is loaded with fishing-focused features offering a more exhilarating way to fish. This all-new watercraft is equipped with a built-in chartplotter, large ORCA cooler, a rear rack with detachable storage packs and many more exclusive features that are necessary for the angler lifestyle.
  • ANGLER SEAT: The two-piece fishing bench seat is flat to allow two riders to turn sideways when fishing. The flat design also makes it easy to move back and forth and provides easy access to the cooler and tackle gear in the rear.
  • FISH FINDER: Garmin’s high-quality, Echo map UHD2 7cv chartplotter with 7” display is mounted to the top-right of the main TFT display and is easy to see while seated. The location combines styling, excellent visibility, and ease of use without obstructing the view of the right rearview mirror. The built-in chartplotter excels in detecting fish with a top of the line sharp and clear sonar. The high-contrast display screen also provides excellent legibility and can navigate from recorded routes. The transducer’s sensor is positioned so air bubbles do not interfere with detection accuracy during normal riding. The sensors are built into the hull so there is no risk of damage when loading/off-loading from a trailer or running in shallow water.
  • BALANCED & STABLE: Special side floats provide additional buoyancy and add stability when stopped or at low speeds. When speed increases and the hull planes, the side floats rise above the waterline, so they don't compromise the excellent handling quality of the ULTRA® 160 series. Side floats also provide plenty of space for foot placement when sitting sideways to fish with non-slip mats on top for additional traction.
  • STAY FRESH: This all-new Angler watercraft is equipped with a 14.5-gallon (55L) ORCA hard cooler located on the rear rack, which is designed to hold it perfectly in place. The ORCA cooler is extremely handy for fishing, but can also be used for all-around convenience when out riding with the family.
  • KEEP YOUR GEAR SAFE: A handy rear rack includes four fishing rod holders, multipurpose storage packs, and smaller pockets for various fishing gear, providing assurance that everything is safe and secure while riding. Storage packs can be removed and attached together for easy portability.
  • PRIMARY HOLDER: The front fishing rod holder is designed to be used while at a stop, offering an easy access location for the angler to leave or retrieve their rod when needed.
