This is a second option to the Ultra customers that requires no adjustment. The trim tab is activated by the steering nozzle and makes life easier for the weekend enthusiast. According to Tim Bushman this design offers less mess with the adjustments and in general terms it is more user friendly to the riders that look for better performance though are not involved in racing. The quality and finish is superb and enables the user to retain the reverse bucket. Both ride plates are available from TBM Racing and Hot Products USA.

During the World Finals TBM released a new ride plate for the Kawasaki Ultra 250X. Initially it was on display at the TBM booth and the ride plate featured an adjustable built in trim tab. According to Tim Bushman this design offers better drive through out the turn since it can be used as a brake when approaching the buoy in order to lower the nose down and increase the planning surface as well as drag. Additionally, it enhances acceleration when exiting the buoy. It’s a smart design as seen by the pictures; one is activated by a trim lever which is fully adjustable. This mean that you are able to adjust the angle you want of the nozzle according to your riding style or race conditions.

The pictured lightweight rear seat is made by Macc Racing for the new Kawasaki Ultra. It reduces the overall weight of the crafts by 15-20 pounds and greatly improves the airflow of the craft.

It costs $875 and it available through Macc Racing and Hot Products USA.
