Ozone Reo V5

The FUTURE is NOW – All Ozone kites are designed and developed using their own highly advanced custom built CAD software. Ozone designers are able to work with features specifically tailored to the unique forms and structures of technical Inflatable and foil kites. Part of Ozones’s design team is dedicated to the upgrade of the CAD code and addition of new modules and features to the program as the development of the kites continues.

Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials for marine sports. Ozone use the remarkably durable Teijin D2 canopy material in all their water kites. Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.

The Reo V5 features Ozone’s innovative Variable Bridle Geometry (VBG). The new bridle settings extend the kites operating range, bringing another level of versatility to this already outstanding design.

Customise your handling and bar pressure with the back line bridle attachments. Closer to the Leading Edge for slower turn speed and more bar pressure, or closer to the Trailing Edge for faster turn speed and less bar pressure.

Ozone work extensively during our R&D process to develop the size range to feel in tune with each other. Every kite has a unique bridle layout, individually tested and fine-tuned to maximize the feeling and performance.

Soft Battens strategically positioned along the Trailing Edge provide canopy support and reduce flutter, enhancing kite feedback to the rider and also reducing canopy material wear.

Ozone bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.

What’s on the inside counts too – All Ozone kites are internally reinforced for improved strength and durability; such as a Double layered Dacron + Insignia taped Leading Edge closing seam with high strength threads.

Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. Ozone build their kites for performance and durability using the best materials & components available. Any areas requiring scuff protection they use a lightweight durable material with superior abrasion resistance, while keeping a low profile in order to reduce drag and maintain performance.

Double layer Teijin D2 Trailing Edge strip with an internal light weight Dyneema reinforcement – this reduces canopy wear and helps to maintain optimum Trailing Edge tension as designed. The Dyneema line also reduces any potential stretch at the Trailing Edge.

World-class construction in our own factory, using the highest quality materials and hand checked Quality Control at every step. The Ozone factory also manufactures Paragliding and Speed Wing range; the same Quality Control processes are used across all products.

NO pulleys, NO problems. All Ozone’s inflatable kites are designed without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across the range.

A high volume valve makes inflation and deflation quick and easy. Pumping is a breeze thanks to the high airflow rate, while the internal seal engages to stop any air coming out under pressure. Unscrew the bottom of the valve to deflate and pack your kite with ease.

Fool proof, colour coded and numbered line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.

The Anti-Snag line deflectors prevent bridles and lines from tangling around the wing tip. Safety is increased when launching with a partner and water re-launch is made easier.

Our Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Struts and Canopy. The Struts are connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal reinforcements and external webbing. This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension

Sail canopy seams are stitched, folded, and then stitched again for a clean and strong connection of the panels.

Dacron reinforcements are used on all loaded areas for enhanced load distribution. This means all loads are spread evenly into the sail ensuring the kite flies and performs at its best.

The Leading Edge and Struts are reinforced in high stress areas to ensure the kite canopy remains in shape and performs at its best.
