Ozone Edge VT
TECHNICAL UPGRADES
We’ve re-engineered key elements of the design to elevate speed, control, and feedback:
- NEW PLANFORM WITH A REFINED ARC FOR QUICKER HANDLING AND MORE RESPONSIVE TURNING
- ADJUSTED SAIL TENSIONS—ESPECIALLY IN THE TRAILING EDGE — FOR A TIGHTER, CLEANER CANOPY
- SLIMMER LEADING EDGE FOR REDUCED DRAG AND FASTER FLIGHT
- VORTEX-INSPIRED 16-POINT BRIDLE SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND STABILITY
The result? A more rigid frame, improved feedback and a heightened sense of connection — like you and the kite are one.
TAILORED AIRFRAME MATERIAL SETUPS
We’ve matched materials to kite size for optimal performance across the range:
6–9m:
Built tough with robust Teijin Triple Ripstop Dacron leading edge and struts
10–13m:
Hybrid build with Teijin Triple Ripstop Dacron leading edge and 125g Performance Dacron on the struts for improved response in varied conditions
15 & 18m:
Full 125g Performance Dacron airframes to boost lightwind power and efficiency
CANOPY
Teijin Technoforce triple ripstop canopy. At 55g it’s heavier than the lighter weight double ripstop cloth on the Ultra-X model, but is more durable.
NEW SIZES
- A new 12m has been added to the range
- A new 18m replaces the previous 17 & 19m models for simplified high-end performance
DESIGNER’S VIEW
The Edge has always been our benchmark for tube kite performance.
Now in its 13th iteration with the Edge VT and VT Ultra-X versions, I believe the handling and feel have reached an entirely new level, without sacrificing any of the original Edge DNA.
Incorporating tweaks and lessons learned from the Vortex program, the new Edge has gained significant improvements in handling, which we know will add even more fun to your riding experience.
I’m confident our loyal Edge riders will appreciate the added agility these VT models deliver!
DOM ZIMMERMANN, LEAD DESIGNER
RIDER’S VIEW
The VT is even easier to use and has more lift and unbelievable hangtime.
I have so much time in the air for board-offs, enjoying the view… or talking to the camera! And my riding speed is epic, too. Even in difficult conditions I maintain control and hit ramps harder. Big air has really never been easier.

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.
Single-Layer Laser Cut
Ozone kites and wings are crafted with exceptional precision using advanced laser technology to cut each panel individually in a single layer. This meticulous approach ensures consistent accuracy across all products, from entry level to high performance models. Our commitment to high standards in production reflects our dedication to delivering reliable, high-quality equipment for riders at every level.
Teijin Triple Ripstop Dacron Airframe
*sizes 6/7/8/9 LE and struts, 10/11/12 LE only
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.
The technical triple rip-stop dacron is
incredibly strong and reliable. It’s used in
areas requiring rigidity and stability, the
leading edge, struts, wingtips and reinforcement
areas.
Performance Dacron Airframe
*sizes 10/11/12 struts only, sizes 13/15/18
LE and struts
Utilising a 125g performance Dacron that’s 20% lighter than conventional Dacron, the reduced weight translates to true performance advantages. This light weight material provides a more crisp, instant response and feeling from the kite.
Transverse Sail Shaping
The Leading Edge features Transverse Sail
Shaping creating a cleaner and tighter surface
on the most important area of the aerofoil. The
result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin
adhesion, which positively effects the lift to
drag ratio increasing overall performance.
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
The NEED for SPEED – High performance Technora bridle lines offer a vast reduction in parasitic drag – the Edge flies fast and accelerates quick enhancing performance and increasing range.
Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System
The Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System makes set up and packing quick and easy. It features single point inflation/deflation and a high air flow rate between the Struts and Leading Edge, with clips to seal the hoses to prevent unwanted air flow in case of damage.
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.
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 with superior abrasion resistance, while keeping a low profile in order to reduce drag and maintain performance.
Unique bladder construction
Our bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.
Anti-Snag line deflectors
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.
Tuned Bridle Geometry
We 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.
Anti-Flap Soft Battens
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.
Back-line trimming options
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.
Fool proof line connectors
Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.
