KEY POINTS:

- Paremeter
An elegant paramedic display adds an extra touch of refinement to the STX 160LX.

- Rearview camera
The reversing camera, installed behind the rear seat, gives the driver an additional view to the rear of the jet ski. This is useful for towing a skier or wakeboarder, or for maneuvering when docking.

- JETSOUND
An improved version of the original audio system for Kawasaki Jet Skis, JETSOUND includes two speakers, a rotary control and Bluetooth connectivity.

- Adjustable electronic cruise control
Ideal for long rides, this mode maintains the selected speed. The cruising speed is easily adjusted with the touch of a button. This feature is now available on all models in the STX 160 series.

- High-end design
The dynamic and agile image of the STX 160 series is immediately apparent thanks to the carefully sculpted front end of each model, the sharp lines, and the accent lights (on the LX-S, LX, and R models). With a more upturned nose and flowing lines extending from front to rear, the STX 160 models appear sleek and sharp, perfectly reflecting the sporty and agile driving experience they excel at.

- Cleats
The integrated cleats provide convenient attachment points for mooring the Jet Ski to the dock.

- Electric trim adjustment
The pilot can easily adapt the hull trim to the water conditions and their riding style, ensuring precise control of the Jet Ski for an ideal gliding experience on every outing.

- Distinct visual identities
The STX 160 series offers four models, each with a distinct visual identity. The use of colors varies depending on the model: a central stripe for a sporty look on the R model, and a horizontal distribution of colors for a wider effect on the LX model.

- KSRD
The Kawasaki Smart Reverse with Deceleration (KSRD) system electrically activates reverse gear. Controlled by a thumb switch on the right handlebar, it allows for one-handed thrust control and helps slow the Jet Ski down.

- Compact STX case
The STX hull has been a staple of Kawasaki's Jet Ski lineup for many years, and for good reason. Lightweight and maneuverable, it's perfectly suited to sporty riding, delivering the on-water thrills that riders in this category crave.

- Extended rear deck
An extended rear deck with a wide, integrated step makes boarding and disembarking the jet ski easier, making water sports more convenient, whether for swimming, waterskiing, or wakeboarding. Multi-mount rails integrated into the deck allow for easy attachment of accessories and provide convenient anchor points.

- Lightweight and agile STX platform
The performance fully reflects the spirit of the STX 160 series, centered on the pleasure of sporty gliding on calm waters, with new features designed to offer an even more comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

- Power modes
In addition to the Smart Learning Operation (SLO) mode, the pilot can choose between three power levels: full, medium or low.

- Kawasaki Emblem
With an emblem at the front that echoes the design of Kawasaki's high-end models, the front view is dynamic, remarkable, and inspires pride in the owner.

- Water protection
The front bumper protects the rider from water spray and reduces water entry into the footwells, thus providing a more comfortable ride.

- 1498 cc naturally aspirated marine engine with four inline cylinders, 160 hp
Responsive and reliable, the 1498 cm³ 4-cylinder in-line, liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated marine engine combines high performance, low emissions, controlled consumption and power suitable for family use.

- Accent lighting
The elegant integrated LED lights accentuate the aggressive style and create a unique visual identity, bringing the JET SKI STX 160 models closer to Kawasaki's high-end ULTRA models and distinguishing these JET SKIs from other personal watercraft.

- High-end features
Building on an already impressive base, the new models in the STX 160 series add performance and comfort features to make the sport jet ski even more fun and convenient to use.

- 7-inch TFT screen
The large, easy-to-read 7-inch color TFT screen offers multiple display modes, a rotary control, Bluetooth connectivity, and infotainment features. It's also the first thing the pilot sees upon boarding, reinforcing the sense of ownership pride.

- Clean design
A high and sharp front nose gives the Jet Ski a sleek and dynamic silhouette, embodying the next generation design and Kawasaki's new standard.
