Zephyr v8 ULTRA X

Ensuring every inch of the new Zephyr is as performance oriented as possible, the new bridles have also been reduced in diameter and are made of an abrasion-resistant sheathed Dyneema line material.

Every millimetre of potential drag savings count when it comes to finding the extremes of accessible lightwind performance. You can rely on our team to have poured over every square inch of the new Zephyr V8 Ultra-X to ensure it’s tuned to get you riding sooner and for longer with less of the handling complications in flight that are often associated with light wind riding.

WHAT YOU FEEL:

- More responsive kite with more stability, especially in marginal conditions
- Lighter handling and bar pressure
- Faster airspeed and turning. This 17m feels more like a 13m kite
- More forward drive, less tendency to back stall
- Smaller packing volume
- Better drift and stability over head WHY YOU FEEL IT:

- Overall, the V8 17m is 17% lighter than the V7
- Continuous curved leading edge
- Transversal shaping
- Ultra-X lightweight, performance materials
- Reduced bridle line diameter

FEATURES:
Factory Ownership Advantage

Ozone uniquely owns its own factory where all kites, wings, boards, hydrofoils, paragliders, speed wings and accessories are made. Guaranteeing hand checked quality control and the finest materials at every step, there are also excellent working conditions for all 1000 employees. Designed with OZ-CAD

The future is now. All Ozone kite and wings are designed with our own highly advanced custom built CAD software that we control and modify with each new product design. Allowing for specifically tailored technical developments, our designers can maximise performance while also minimising waste. Teijin TechnoForce Double Ripstop Lightweight canopy

Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of technical performance materials for marine sports, setting the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in dynamic strength and durability. Performance Dacron – Lighter and Stiffer

The leading edge and struts are made from a 125g performance Dacron that’s 20% lighter than conventional Dacron. The reduction in weight translates to true performance advantages. The dacron is also stiffer to provide a more crisp, instant response and feeling from the kite. 4-line Pulley-less System

NO pulleys, NO problems. We design all our inflatable kites without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across our range. High Performance Bridle Lines

High performance sheathed Dyneema bridle lines offer a vast reduction in parasitic drag and reduced weight. Continuous Curve Leading Edge and Transverse Sail Shaping

Each Leading Edge segment is curved to form a perfect smooth arc from tip to tip as opposed to straight segments with angled joints. Transverse Sail Shaping perfectly matches the Continuous Curve Leading Edge. These latest design features reduce parasitic drag and create a cleaner surface at the most important area of the airfoil. The result is less turbulent airflow, which positively affects the lift to drag ratio increasing overall performance. Internal reinforcements

What’s on the inside counts too - we use top of the line materials and strategic internal reinforcements for increased strength and durability.

Overlap Flat Seams

Overlap flat seam construction improves sail control resulting in an overall cleaner canopy. Load Distribution 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. Direct Connect Struts

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

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

Trailing Edge reinforcement with an internal lightweight Dyneema line reduces canopy wear and helps to maintain optimum Trailing Edge tension as designed. Low Profile Aerodynamic Scuff Pads

Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. At Ozone we build our kites and wings for performance and durability using the best materials & components available. Any areas requiring scuff protection we use a lightweight durable material
