The all-new V4 has been completely redesigned with emphasis on accessible performance using the latest design technology and experience from our highest performance race kite, the R1 V4. Performance-wise, the Chrono V4 sits between the Hyperlink and R1 models. Many technical details were transferred across from the R1 V4 to the Chrono V4 providing a similar feeling while being less demanding to fly. It's for performance-orientated hydrofoil and twintip riders who want a high-level foil kite for light-to-mid-wind ranges. New Leading Edge Transversal Shaping creates a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The new internal construction that drastically reduces drag: an 8% increase in cell count, a 25% reduction in bridle line count and a 14% reduction in total bridle line length. These advancements in design combined with lightweight materials means the kite handles extremely well especially in light winds. The Chrono V4 is not much more demanding to fly than the Hyperlink V2 however its performance threshold is closer to the R1 V4, so it has more potential to take you to the next level! Continuous power generation through turns makes the Chrono V4 a fun kite, even when conditions are light. It's ultra-stable and reacts to bar inputs instantly, making it easy to get riding in the lightest winds. An overall lighter bar feeling allows you to ride with less fatigue. For Foil Board riders the Chrono V4 is a true out and out sports car, the harder you drive the more it offers. It's got great angles up and downwind. It's really fast and remember to hold on if you send it! Twintip riders can expect nice big floaty jumps, just load the rail and send it. Easy upwind even when it's light and if you have a flat water spot then pull that bar in and see how much power and speed your legs can handle! The Chrono V4 features an all-new material combination with a durable, airtight and lightweight double rip-stop for the upper and lower surfaces. The new material has a unique formulated coating to help shed water, improving flying characteristics and water re-launch. The Chrono V4 is durable and strong, while being as lightweight as the V3 Ultralight version. The Leading Edge air intakes have been refined for faster progressive inflation, improved seal and optimised positioning to maintain internal air pressure. This enhances land and water re-launch capabilities. Wind Range Land Wind Range Water​​ Brake Line Settings - Three settings allow you to fine-tune kite feedback and bar pressure to your liking. It is quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove. All-round - The ideal balance in performance and feeling for most riders and conditions. The All-round setting is the middle knot on the PB1 line (factory setting). Twin Tip - Increases bar pressure and offers a sharper, more direct feeling perfect for Twin Tip riding. If you prefer a heavier and more direct feel, this could be the setting for you. The Twin Tip setting is the lower knot on the PB1 line. Hydrofoil - Decreases bar pressure with a longer lifting period perfect for foiling maneuvers.The Hydro Foil setting is the upper knot on the PB1 line. Flying Line recommendations, We recommend the following line length over the standard 25m: 11m \u0026amp; 13m - 21m Lines 15m \u0026amp; 18m - 23m Lines Using line lengths of 20m to 23m the handling of the Chrono V4 becomes more responsive making jumping more direct and easier. You will feel an increased \"connection\" to the kite, it will become more responsive and direct. In stronger winds with shorter lines the upwind ability will be enhanced significantly. For Hydro Foiling shorter lines (10m to 20m) are preferred by a wide range of users.

Technical and Manufacturing Features: Transverse Sail Shaping - The Leading Edge now features Transverse Sail Shaping creating a cleaner 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. High Cell Count - A high number of cells controls ballooning between the ribs, holding the wing shape and designed surfaces smoother and more accurately. This reduces turbulent airflow, providing more efficiency, speed and de-power for increased overall performance. Optimized Leading Edge Air Intakes - The Leading Edge air intakes have been refined for faster progressive inflation, improved seal and optimised positioning to maintain internal air pressure. This enhances land and water re-launch capabilities. L.E Profile Reinforcements - 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. Internal Diagonals and Straps - Internal span-wise straps work in unison with optimized diagonal ribs, distributing load from the bridles evenly and effectively. This increases the internal structural balance, while allowing the top and bottom surfaces to maintain the designed profile without being distorted from indirect tension or loads. Sheathed Bridle Lines - High quality, low stretch sheathed Dyneema bridle lines for maximum strength and performance. This is the same bridle line we have used on our Snowkite range for the past 10 years. Double pulley Speed System - Using high spec low friction Ronstan Orbit pulleys to reduce wear and rider fatigue while improve feeling and performance of the kite. Water Drainage Channels \u0026amp; Valves - An internal channel is shaped into the end of each cell along the trailing edge. This allows loose sand or water to run between the cells and out of the tips during flight. Drainage valves at both wing tips seal to keep air in, and open up when water needs to drain out. The Velcro sealed tips can be opened for cleaning the kite. Always clean your kite by emptying any water, sand or dirt as this will prolong the life of the kite and help it fly as designed. Waterproof deflation zipper - Intelligently positioned for easy deflation and pack down. Tuned Bridle Geometry - We work extensively during our R\u0026amp;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.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588421648484,"sku":"ozone_chrono_v5_size","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1410\/4932\/files\/ozone-chrono-v5-rubine_37b77cee-0c48-42c5-a838-d09825490123.jpg?v=1790748348"},{"product_id":"ozone-explore-v2-snow-kite-40-off","title":"Ozone Explore V2 Snow Kite - 40% Off","description":"Ozone Explore V2 BackcountryTHE MASTER OF ACCESSIBILITYBuilt for simplicity and ease-of-use for all rider levels, the Explore is the master of accessibility.

Lightweight double pulley speed system - Lightweight, low friction pulleys reduce wear while improving bar feel and providing smooth progressive depower. Spanwise bridge lines - Lines running across the underside of the kite take the place of internal straps and diagonals on double surface kites, distributing load from the bridles evenly and effectively. This avoids excessive span-wise tension being transmitted into the canopy and allows its profile and billow to be controlled more precisely. Dirt-Out wing tips - The Velcro sealed cells at the tips can be opened for cleaning the kite. Always clean your kite by emptying any snow or debris as this will prolong the life of the kite and help it fly as designed. High perfpormance ultra light materials - High quality Ultra Light materials have been used extensively on our Kites and Paragliders since 2011. Using Ultra Light materials translates to true performance increases - the kite inflates quicker, flies faster and is more reactive even in the lightest breeze. Single surface design - The single surface concept generates ample lift with low airspeed, resulting in easy and forgiving handling, while still providing the power to climb steep slopes. Additionally this offers unique low end flying characteristics with instant and efficient de-power within the bar throw. With only one skin, weight and pack volume is also reduced, ideal for backcountry exploration. The open nature of the design means there is no air held inside the kite, which makes it extra resistant to crash damage. Low drag bridle lines - To reduce weight and packing volume even further on the Ultra Light version kites, we use unsheathed spliced and stitched dyneema line. This line is not only lighter and thinner, it also reduces parasitic drag resulting in faster flying and tighter turns. Tuned bridle geometry - We work extensively during our R\u0026amp;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.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588425908324,"sku":"ozone_explore_v2_size","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1410\/4932\/files\/ozone_explore_v2_size-1_22679634-df86-4a6a-b8b8-2fd0c1ca5815.jpg?v=1790748366"},{"product_id":"ozone-explore-v3-snow-kite","title":"Ozone Explore V3 Snow Kite","description":"Ozone Explore V3 THE MASTER OF ACCESSIBILITYStart adventuring!

Thanks to the multi-purpose design brief it takes us from riding twin tips and foils on water, to the highest peaks in the mountains on snow... and anywhere in between.\"We found the V3 could fatigue your arms on long days in the mountains, so we worked on reducing the bar pressure and steering forces while also increasing the turning speed.The V4 is now more fun on snow as it nicely accelerates through the loops, is extremely stable while offering great depower. Oh, and it glides pretty well too! On water, the increased handling makes it more fun and easier to send for big jumps.\"DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE HEAD KITE DESIGNERMADE FOR DYNAMIC HANDLINGThe V4 incorporates Ozone's signature Transverse Sail Shaping, ensuring a smoother aerodynamic profile and reducing air turbulence. The kite's upper and lower surfaces are constructed from durable, lightweight, double rip-stop nylon with a water-shedding coating for improved aerodynamics and relaunch.An optimized internal structure, with diagonal ribs and span-wise straps, ensures the profile maintains its shape under load, allowing consistent performance across all conditions.FOR WATER AND SNOW The Hyperlink V4 is the ultimate cross-over foil kite, designed for both water and snow. Easily switch between:4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODEThe Hyperlink comes standard in 4-line Closed Cell Mode, which is recommended when using the kite on the water. It uses the same front line flag out safety system as our inflatable 4-line kites. After pre-inflating the kite on the ground, the kite fully inflates itself in the air, offering responsive, intuitive steering that feels similar to an inflatable. This has been the hallmark of the Hyperlink range and why, for many, it's the perfect first foil kite. The new V4 model handles even faster and with more freeride and jumping capabilities, bringing it even closer to the feel of an inflatable kite.RELAUNCHRelaunch is also quick and easy in closed cell mode as water is kept out of the cells. To relaunch the Hyperlink just pull one line, using the relaunch ball and \/ or brake handle on the back leader lines.5-LINE OPEN CELL MODEFor safety, 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land. Due to the valves being open, inflation is also quicker.Paired with the optional 5th line Internal Re-Ride Release System it allows for instant depower and safe self-landing, making it perfect for adventurous snowkiters. Simply relaunch again when you're rested and ready to go again.HYPERLINK V4 Vs. CHRONO V5ON THE WATER Using the Hyperlink in closed cell 4-line mode (as recommended for use on the water), the Hyperlink V4 doesn't shoot as far forward in the window as the Chrono. With its higher aspect-ratio design the Chrono's airspeed is also faster, so it's capable of producing greater board speed and boosting height, but it's slower in its turning and wider in its arc.If you're familiar with our inflatable kite range, think of the Hyperlink like the Enduro and the Chrono more like the Edge. The Hyperlink is more of an all-rounder, turning tighter and easier. Generally, it is more easy-going and has an excellent relaunch.In gusty winds, or if you're overpowered, the Hyperlink V4 will also feel more stable.The Chrono is the racier model and takes a little more technical foil kite know-how to handle it.For freeride twin-tip and hydrofoil riding the Hyperlink V4 feels very intuitive. If you have some foil kite experience and are looking to ride your hydrofoil at speed, or push the biggest hang-times on your twin-tip, you should look at the Chrono for its fly and glide performance.HYPERLINK V4 vs. OTHER OZONE SNOWKITESON THE SNOWThe Hyperlink's tight turning and superior handling are ideal for intermediate snowkiters through to advanced riders who seek adventure, with the power to climb hills and navigate difficult terrain.(The Chrono V5 is a closed cell design, so it can't quickly expel air from its cells when trying to self-land \/ collapse the kite and kill the power, so isn't recommended for use on the snow.)QUICK GUIDE: OZONE SNOWKITE RANGE EXPLORE V3 - Beginner to advanced ridersSingle surface design, dedicated to snow.

It has made mountain climbing and packing so much more enjoyable, safe, easy and quick for the user. When activated the kite de-powers instantly without tangling, and will sit on the ground ready to re-launch when you're ready again.BRAKE LINE SETTINGSThree settings allow you to fine tune kite feedback and bar pressure to your liking. It is quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove.1: HydrofoilDecreases bar pressure with a longer lifting period, perfect for foiling maneuvers. The hydrofoil setting is the upper knot on the PB1 line.2: All-roundThe ideal balance in performance and feeling for most riders and conditions. The all-round setting is the middle knot on the PB1 line (factory setting).3: Twin TipIncreases bar pressure and offers a sharper, more direct feeling, perfect for twin tip riding. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you. The twin tip setting is the lower knot on the PB1 line.FLYING LINE RECOMMENDATIONSWe recommend 23m lines for all Hyperlink V4 sizes, but shorter lines (10m-21m) offer greater responsiveness, especially for hydrofoiling. Shorter lines also enhance upwind ability in stronger winds.(We have various line length sets available as optional extras. Please order from your local dealer.)RETURNING DESIGN FEATURESThe Hyperlink V4 has improved in all aspects of its handling through small but progressive design tweaks, rather than an overhaul of what was already a successful cross-over foil kite design.
