Česky (CZK)Ozone Edge VT ULTRA-X
Ozone Edge VT ULTRA-X
Ozone took everything we love about the Edge — brutal pull, rock-solid stability and insane hangtime — and pushed it a class higher.
Thanks to the Aluula airframe, an extremely light yet stiff material, this kite is roughly a third lighter while delivering about a third more power.

BUILT ON THE NEW EDGE VT BASE:
Advancing from the Edge V12, the new Edge VT (Version Thirteen) features re-engineered elements of design to elevate speed, control, and feedback.
- NEW PLANFORM WITH A REFINED ARC FOR QUICKER HANDLING AND MORE RESPONSIVE TURNS
- 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.
SUPERCHARGED PERFORMANCE
The Edge VT Ultra-X is built on the Edge VT base, but is designed with the finest material selection for top performance:
• Full Aluula airframe (leading edge and struts (82g)
• Teijin double ripstop lighter weight canopy (46g)
WHAT YOU FEEL:
- Even less drag than the VT, thanks to the added stiffness of Aluula, which has allowed further reduction of the leading edge diameter by an extra 5%
- Sharper response and better efficiency at both ends of the wind range
ULTRA-X STIFFNESS
The Aluula airframe, combined with the solid five-strut design, delivers:
- A kite that’s rock solid in the sky
- Direct, precise control with zero sail deformation — even when it’s nuking
- The confidence to send it whenever, wherever
EXPERIENCE THE LIGHT WEIGHT ADVANTAGES OF ULTRA-X
With its ultra-light five strut airframe, the Edge VT Ultra-X weighs less than most three-strut kites, and delivers the extra benefit of added stability for the ultimate sense of control.
Whether you’re looking to comfortably manage storm force winds on small sizes, or enjoy greater light wind performance on the larger models – which is maximised in the lightweight Ultra-X designs – all aspects of the new Edge VT kites have been tuned to keep you feeling good on the water.
Burn less energy, ride faster with more control and perform at your best for longer.
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!

RIDER’S VIEW
Having so much control over your riding speed makes approaching the perfect kicker far easier, whatever your level. The speed you can achieve with this kite combined with the vertical lift ensures that you go very high. This causes a lot of line tension which provides a lot of control and kite awareness in the air. It’s like it’s programmed to fly, even with basic kite movement.
I haven’t even got close to this kite’s top end yet and I’ve had some massive jumps already. I can’t wait to feel the full potential of this kite! Besides the fact that the low end is amazing, I notice that it can handle the strongest gusts well, and with all that amazing feedback in the air, it’s going to be the ultimate Cape Town weapon this season!

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.
Aluula Performance Airframe
Aluula can provide a tensile strength increase of as much as 38% compared to standard material construction, while tear strength is up to seven times greater.
Careful integration of Aluula can also deliver up to a 30% weight saving overall.
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.
Built with a double rip-stop
material that is 17% lighter than conventional
canopy, with an advanced coating to maintain
strength, rigidity and durability. The reduction
in weight translates to true performance
advantages.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fool proof line connectors
Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.
