Description

Capable of the highest speeds at super aggressive riding angles, as well as the most efficient transitions when fractions of a second count, all elements of the new design help to ensure you maintain as much momentum as possible in all situations.

The aim of redesigning the Ozone R1 V5 was to find the absolute best race course performance. Each size has been designed with focus on controlled performance and specific needs.

Every aspect of the R1 V5 design is focused on maximising true race performance with low overhead lift. The potential momentum loss through tacks is now absolutely minimal for pro level racers.ย 

The faster you can ride, the more the kite wants to go upwind and, as it does so, feels lighter and easier to control at the same time.ย 

Tuned to navigate courses with more efficiency and control allows the conservation of energy that could make all the difference to results across long days packed with multiple races.ย 

Finding your โ€œsweet spotโ€ in a locked-in race position is intuitive and easy with the ability to play with angles or speed depending on your lines and tactics.ย 

Flight Characteristics:

If you are looking to get the most out of your light wind sessions, the R1 will peak your experience. With incredible upwind performance, low end grunt and it will have you out on the land or water in only a few knots!

Riding on snow or land is easy, with plenty of power and handling in light winds to be clocking high speeds and long airtime.

On the water with a Twin-tip the R1 is a light wind monster; loads of speed and is easy to jump. 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 R1.

If you race - water, land or snow you need to have a serious look at one of these. The R1 has all the technology you can imagine. The upwind performance is blazing and it can also hold a very deep downwind line.

One other noticeable benefit is how much easier it is to tack when riding with a Foil board or Course board. This is thanks to the longer lifting period the R1 gives you during that critical tacking moment compared to an LEI.

Features
Technology
2-Line Tech with Reduced Line Plan:

The 10, 11, 14, 15, 19 and 21 metre sizes (all with 65 cells) now feature true 2-line technology with only A and B line levels. Less bridling means less drag, allowing the kite to drive further forward in the window for greater speed and higher angle potential. 

Reducing the line levels to only A and B along the chord, in combination with a highly complex internal structure to distribute loads, the R1 V5 features the least amount of total bridle line length weโ€™ve ever used on a foil kite

The thinnest and strongest Technora bridle line material on all sizes further contributes to overall drag reduction.

4-Line Bridle Tech:

The smallest 8m and 9m sizes have retained 4-line levels (A, B, C & brake) using a different planform with lower aspect-ratio and cell count (51 cells) based on previous well-proven R1 designs. 

When nuking conditions strike and itโ€™s time for โ€˜survival modeโ€™, four lines with a more active feel of sheeting input offers maximum stability and control.

Chordwise Fibreglass Battens:

On sizes 10m through to 21m the chord profile is reinforced with lightweight fibreglass battens to distribute load whilst maintaining the shape of the profile during angle of attack changes and turbulent airflow. This drastically improves overall performance as the foil remains true to the designed shape.

Profile Development:

While Ozone kept the cell count and planform very similar to the V4 design, we extensively focused on maximising the potential of the profile section of each size to work in harmony with the 2-line bridle layout. 

Analized in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations and tested under real competition conditions by the worldโ€™s leading racers, we worked on creating the least lift possible at the lowest angle-of-attack โ€“ especially when moving the kite up and overhead during tacks.

Expert riders will now make their manoeuvres with a more fluid motion, allowing them to come out of transitions at high speed with very little lost momentum.

Yet the R1 V5 also delivers constant pull on up- and downwind angles, is capable of being ridden at more aggressive angles and with greater speed, while still feeling stable in dirty, gusty winds.

The end result is a racerโ€™s dream โ€“ giving the confidence to take the biggest kite size possible for maximum straight line speed and the highest angles, without feeling compromised during manoeuvres.

Leading Edge Profile Battens:

The Leading Edge is reinforced with flexible lightweight plastic battens to maintain the shape of the profile during angle of attack changes and turbulent airflow. This drastically improves overall performance as the foil remains true to the designed shape.

Rigfoil Technology:

Rigifoil battens are sewn in between the leading edge profile battens to maintain optimal profile shape at high speeds.

Preventing the canopy material from indenting between the ribs, the leading edge section is now as clean as it would be if there were twice as many ribs, without actually adding the complexity of full length ribs.

(For the perfect performance-to-weight ratio, the 19 and 21 metre models feature Rigifoils only to the last inflation valve towards the tip. Not adding the rigifoils to the tip sections of these two biggest sizes reduces the chance for the tips to roll / fold in during very light wind manoeuvres.)

Mini Ribs:

Mini Ribs are sewn into the centre of each cell along the trailing edge of all sizes. These are designed to minimise the โ€˜ballooningโ€™ deformation effect of the trailing edge, creating a cleaner surface for the air to release from the airfoil.

Triple Transverse Sail Shaping:

Triple Transverse Sail Shaping on sizes 10m-21m running along the leading edge creates a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin adhesion, which positively affects the lift-to-drag ratio, increasing overall performance.

New Valve Design:

Finally, faster inflation and a better seal are the important finishing touches offered by the new valve design.

Control Bar
Ozone Race Foil Control Bar:

 

The Ozone Race Foil Control System offers the latest in safety features, a clean control bar design and a simple easy-to-use trimming system.

Easy to Grab Stall Handle: 

Making self landing, reverse launch and inflation easier. Always use the brake handle when flying a foil kite. The brake handle is removeable to use the control system with an inflatable kite. 

Double Pulley Trim System:

The Double Pulley system offers precise trimming on the go with ease. The long trim line allows the rider to easily trim while hiked out, maintaining maximum power against the foil/fins.

Push Away Quick Release:

The control system features a new Megatron pushaway quick release safety with total flag out of the kite. The release handle is ergonomic with positive release forces (under 8kg) allowing for quick and easy release. Simple re-assembly saves time and gets you back up and riding faster.

The control system features our Megatron push-away quick release with total flag out of the kite. The release handle is ergonomic with positive release forces for quick and easy release. Simple re-assembly saves time and gets you back up and riding faster.

Two Safety Modes: 

The Megatron offers riders a choice of two safety modes, the recommended standard safety or the optional Suicide safety.

The standard Flag out safety offers 100% flag out in all situations by releasing the Megatron or letting go of the bar when un-hooked.

The Suicide option offers 100% flag out only when the Megatron is released whilst hooked in, allowing riders practicing handle passes to let go of the bar with out flagging the kites safety (not recommended).

Anti-twist 100% Flag Out Line:

The flag out line running through the Megatron & safety leash attachment at the bottom keeps the leash tangle free when doing rotations and manually unwinding the centre lines using the Spinning Handle.

Soft Bar Ends with Hide-away Elastic Line Retainers:

Soft bar ends for comfort and are less likely to damage lightly constructed boards. Hide-away elastic line retainers keep wound lines secured.

Stainless Steel Leader Line Pin:

Superior strength is achieved with a Stainless pin running through the bar. This creates an ultra strong and direct connection between the control bar to flying lines.

Low Friction Centre Piece:

The control bar features a low friction aluminum centre piece designed to reduce trim line wear.

Auto Positioning Chicken Loop:

Designed in conjunction with the bar centre piece, the Megatron spinning handle allows chicken loop auto positioning, offering easy unhooked riding and hooking back in.

Magnetic trim handle system:

The Magnetic trim handle connects to a magnetic neoprene sock covering the clam cleat to reduce tangles when the trimmer is depowered.

PU Covered trim line & cast stainless steel de-power ring:

The tough PU covered trim significantly reduces wear when sheeting in and out, whilst the smooth running de-power ring also prevents trim line wear.

No compromise for your safety.

300 / 200kg Flying Lines:

Colour coded 300kg front / 200kg back lines using the highest quality Dyneema available reduce drag for faster speeds on the course.
