The Ultra Series

The Ultra Series represents the most advanced trim platform developed by Pitch Components.

Rather than being a higher-spec version of the Freestyle trim, the Ultra is designed as a fully modular tuning platform for riders who want to optimise every aspect of their ski.

Every engineering decision behind the Ultra has one objective:

Allow as much of the engine's available power as possible to reach the water, while giving the rider complete control over how that power is delivered.

Built for Optimisation

No two skis are exactly alike. Engine characteristics, hull design, impeller choice, riding style, water temperature, salt concentration and altitude all influence how a ski performs. Most trim systems are built around a fixed compromise that works well for the majority of riders. The Ultra Series removes many of those compromises. Instead of locking the rider into a single configuration, it provides the tools to optimise the trim system for an individual setup. The result is a trim platform that can be tuned to maximise both efficiency and riding feel.

Improved Engine-to-Water Power Transfer

The Ultra Series is engineered to reduce both hydraulic and mechanical losses throughout the trim system. Optimised internal geometry, reduced friction and a highly efficient flow path allow a greater proportion of the engine's available power to be transferred into useful thrust. The engine produces exactly the same horsepower—but less energy is lost before the water leaves the nozzle. Combined with the ability to optimise nozzle sizes, this allows the Ultra to extract the maximum performance from a given engine and pump combination.

Propulsion Angle

The Ultra Series is available in two propulsion configurations.

Ultra Zero (UZ25)

Ultra Zero delivers straight (0°) propulsion, producing a neutral and highly predictable riding characteristic.

It allows the ski to carry momentum naturally through linked manoeuvres while responding solely to rider input. For riders who value precision, consistency and technical control, Ultra Zero provides the most direct connection between rider and ski.

Ultra Five (UF25)

Ultra Five redirects propulsion upward by five degrees.

This subtly changes how thrust acts on the hull, naturally encouraging the ski to engage its flip angle during acceleration. The result is a more aggressive riding characteristic that helps initiate backflips with less rider input.

The trade-off is a less neutral feel during technical combinations and rolls.

Neither configuration is inherently better—the choice simply depends on the riding characteristic you prefer.

Modular Nozzle System

The defining feature of the Ultra Series is its modular nozzle system.

Rather than machining the trim to a single fixed size, the Ultra uses interchangeable bore rings that allow the trim system to be matched to different engines, riding styles and environmental conditions.

The range consists of three configurations:

96 mm

• Fixed 96 mm steering nozzle

• Interchangeable reduction nozzle rings

Designed for riders who know their preferred steering configuration but still want to optimise reduction nozzle sizing.

100 mm

• Fixed 100 mm steering nozzle
• Interchangeable reduction nozzle rings

Offers the same tuning capability while providing a different steering nozzle configuration.

Adjustable (94–99 mm)

The Adjustable model features interchangeable bore rings for both the reduction nozzle and the steering nozzle.

This creates the most configurable trim system in the Pitch range, allowing both stages of the nozzle system to be tuned independently.

For riders searching for every possible performance advantage, this provides an unmatched level of control.

Why Bore Rings Matter

One of the biggest advantages of the Ultra platform is the ability to optimise nozzle sizing.

As a general rule:

A larger bore produces greater bottom-end thrust and stronger acceleration.

A smaller bore favours higher top-end performance and increased top speed.

The ideal configuration depends entirely on the engine's capability.

Environmental conditions also influence performance.

Changes in water temperature, salt concentration and altitude all affect how the engine and pump behave. A setup that performs perfectly in one location may not perform the same somewhere else.

Being able to change bore sizes allows the trim system to remain optimised as those conditions change.

Ultra Fitted Flow Guard

The Ultra Series features the Ultra Fitted Flow Guard, developed specifically for riders who demand the highest level of responsiveness.

Compared to the Flow Guard used on the Freestyle Series, it is lighter, shorter and more direct.

The reduced material and closer fit minimise flow disturbance while producing exceptionally immediate steering response and rider feedback.

Rather than softening the riding experience, the Ultra Fitted Flow Guard allows the rider to feel everything the ski is doing.

For experienced riders, this creates an incredibly connected and precise riding characteristic.

Who Is the Ultra Series For?

The Ultra Series isn't designed to make every rider faster.

It's designed to remove limitations for riders who already know exactly how they want their ski to behave.

If you simply want outstanding freestyle performance, the Freestyle Series remains the natural choice.

If you want complete control over efficiency, responsiveness and tuning—and you're willing to invest the time to optimise your setup—the Ultra Series offers a level of adjustability and performance that fixed trim systems cannot match.
