The 2018 Kawasaki Jet Ski lineup has been revealed and it looks largely the same as it did in 2017, outside of some new color options.

Here are the rest of the colors: STX-15 (Ebony/Candy Burnt Orange), Ultra LX (Ebony/Metallic Phantom Silver), Ultra 310X (Ebony/Metallic Surf Blue), Ultra 310LX (Ebony/Candy Lime Green), Ultra 310X SE (Ebony/Candy Burnt Orange), and Ultra 310R (Ebony/Metallic Stardust White).

Here is what Kawasaki has to say about its 2018 Kawasaki Jet Ski lineup:

Kawasaki continues to stand out in the personal watercraft category with its Jet Ski watercraft lineup. Offering a wide range of supercharged machines that evoke fun on the water, the 2018 Jet Ski Ultra lineup is among the most exciting and powerful on the market. The line up also includes the Kawasaki Jet Ski SX-R, a four-stroke stand-up personal watercraft.

The Jet Ski SX-R personal watercraft produces twice the power of Kawasaki’s previous stand-up model while also delivering plenty of low-to-mid-range torque. This makes the stand-up personal watercraft fun and accessible to those without a competition license. The 2018 Jet Ski SX-R watercraft stands out in performance and fun on the water.

The entire Jet Ski runabout lineup is forged with Kawasaki DNA and features powerful 1498cc engines, an innovative deep-V hull design, a large amount of storage and a fuel tank capable of extended range.

The entire lineup is also covered by a 12-month limited warranty with an optional 12, 24, 36 or 48-month Kawasaki Protection Plus™ plan.

The flagship model, the 2018 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 310LX personal watercraft, is the perfect combination of performance and luxury. The Jet Ski Ultra 310LX features a roots-type Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) supercharger. A three-blade impeller that is directly driven from the engine provides superb propulsion, powering the watercraft’s deep-V hull that offers class-leading stability in rough water. This model also features the JETSOUND audio system, a first in personal watercrafts, which allows riders to listen to music via the 2×20-watt rated amplifier and 30-watt speakers. For 2018, the Jet Ski Ultra 310LX watercraft is available in Ebony/Candy Lime Green.

The Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 310R personal watercraft is the ultimate open-water race replica vehicle in the Kawasaki model line.  It features the same 1,498cc supercharged engine as the Ultra 310LX model. It also sports a motocross-style electro-polished stainless steel handlebar inspired by the Kawasaki KX motorcycles. The Jet Ski Ultra 310R personal watercraft also boasts race-inspired graphics as part of its Ebony/Metallic Stardust White color scheme.

Power is the most common trait among the Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 310 series, and the 2018 Ultra® 310X and Ultra 310X SE models share the same unmistakable supercharged inline 1,498cc four-cylinder DOHC engine with its Eaton TVS supercharger and intercooler. For rider comfort and versatility, the Ultra 310X features a bench seat while the 310X SE comes equipped with race-inspired graphics and a sport-styled seat. The 2018 Jet Ski Ultra 310X is available in Ebony/Metallic Surf Blue and the Jet Ski Ultra 310X SE comes in an Ebony/Candy Burnt Orange scheme.

For riders who want the luxury and convenience of the flagship Ultra 310LX but a little less power, the 2018 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra LX personal watercraft, powered by a naturally aspirated 1,498cc engine, is the right choice. The maneuverable deep-V hull contributes to superior handling, and the vehicle boasts industry-leading storage capacity and the largest fuel tank in its class to keep the fun going longer. The 2018 Jet Ski Ultra LX is available in the new Ebony/Metallic Phantom Silver color.

For flat-out fun, the 2018 Kawasaki Jet Ski STX-15F personal watercraft is the way to go. Equipped with a powerful engine with digital fuel injection that provides great performance and an agile hull for sporty handling as well as comfortable ergonomics, the Jet Ski STX-15F watercraft is great for someone looking to spend a lot of time on the water. The 2018 Jet Ski STX-15F will come in Ebony/Candy Burnt Orange.
