Innovation is often inspired by being in the right place, the right time, with all the right connections coming together allowing the genesis of a new vision or era - the Hyperlink is Ozone's vision to take you into that new era.
The Hyperlink has been developed as a kite to bridge the gap between inflatable and foil kites while making it excel on water, snow and land. The Hyperlink is a true multipurpose foil kite - with an innovative valve design it can be ridden on the water, snow and land safely.
The V4 has been improved throughout, with a lighter bar feeling and reduced aspect-ratio to make it faster and more nippy in its steering.
For kiters who are used to the handling feel of an inflatable kite, the Hyperlink V4’s similar steering performance makes it the obvious choice when transitioning to using a foil kite.
We know many inflatable kite riders can see the advantages of high performance foil kites such as the Chrono or R1, however the bridle lines and complexity can be daunting.
The Hyperlink is simple, user friendly and has to be the most versatile foil kite on the market. The mid aspect ratio and minimal bridle plan makes taking the jump from inflatable to foil kite easy!
No matter how hard-core inflatable you are, now is the time to expand your universe. Take that step into the unknown - the reward is more adrenaline, more riding time and a new feeling!
The Hyperlink is available in 5m, 7m, 9m and 12m sizes.
Flight Characteristics:
If you are looking to get the most out of your light wind sessions, the Hyperlink will peak your experience. With incredible upwind performance, low end grunt and huge float in jumps it will have you ripping!
Riding on snow or land is easy with the Hyperlink with plenty of power and handling in light winds to be clocking high speeds and long airtime.
Hyperlink on the Water:
On the water with a Twin-tip the Hyperlink is a light wind monster; loads of power, easy to jump and stable. Due to the abundance of power and efficiency gaining upwind ground is ridiculously easy, in light wind its impressive how high and floaty jumps can be with the Hyperlink. No question at all, this is a pop and float machine, just edge hard and send it, too easy!
One other noticeable benefit is how much easier it is to tack when riding with a Foil board. This is thanks to the longer lifting period the Hyperlink gives you during that critical tacking moment compared to an LEI.
Hyperlink on the Snow:
On the snow the Hyperlink takes the sport to another level, more power and performance in light winds, extended jump and flight time with a much better glide angle and the improved handling makes it possible to ride in lighter winds just by generating apparent speed, which means you can ride a smaller size than normal.
Hyperlink on the Land:
On the land the Hyperlink that Ozone have made in kite stability mean that you can work on your landboard freestyle moves without worrying about the kite collapsing or falling out of the sky. For buggy riders the improvements mean freestyle or racing manoeuvres are easy and more intuitive with smoother coordinated handling.
4/5 Line Mode:
The Hyperlink comes standard in 4-Line Closed Cell Mode, utilising Ozone's Front Line Flag Out Release System. This is recommended for water use – it is a simple and effective flag out when the Quick Release is activated – it works the same way as Ozone's 4-line inflatable water kite range
The optional 5-Line Internal Re-Ride Release System Conversion Kit is recommended for snow or land use. The Internal Re-Ride Release System de-powers the kite instantly without tangling, and falls to the ground to re-launch when ready.
