When Sea-Doo unveiled its new 300-horsepower models, many Kawasaki loyalists beamed with pride, announcing that they were still at the top of the heap when it came to the horsepower wars. The problem is that we all if Kawasaki doesn’t do something quick, Sea-Doo will quickly leapfrog ahead. Unfortunately, 2016’s new model lineup revealed merely changes to color, and from what we’ve learned recently, Kawasaki will be focusing its efforts towards welcoming new riders to the sport for 2017 – very likely to leave its class-leading 310-horsepower Ultras more or less alone.
That is where Jetski World, Australia’s premier authorized Kawasaki JetSki dealer, comes in. Working tirelessly over the past several months and developed completely in house by their own performance team, Jetski World has developed TWO special edition Ultras for 2016: the new 340RE and 320LE. Both offer increases to overall horsepower, as well as improvements in acceleration, comfort and handling. Best of all, both of these machines will come with a special 3 year warranty guaranteed through Jetski World themselves.
Now, you might be wanting a lot more info on these machines, particularly the 340RE (the “RE” stands for “Race Edition”) that pulls all the way to a GPS-confirmed 75mph thanks to a ferocious combination of a proprietary ECU reflash tune, a redesigned intake system, an intercooler upgrade, new Solas prop and modified jet pump, and increased boost (over the factory maximum of 16.8psi).
If you’re itching for more information, don’t fret! The Watercraft Journal will have all of the details next week in an exclusive feature article unveiling everything. We’ll also have plenty more stories coming your way from Jetski World over the next several months – how they’re Australia’s ONLY licensed SBT dealer, how they develop and test their own performance products thanks to their extensive in-house machine shop and R&D team, and much, much more – as they’ve joined The Watercraft Journal for 2015/2016!
