Ozone V5 R1 Foil Kiteboarding Kite

Description

Ozone V5 R1 Foil Kiteboarding Kite

After a full four year development cycle and over 50 prototypes, the all new R1 V5 has shed any hint of freeride DNA to become an all-out, pure hydrofoil racing machine.

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.

Features

• IKA Formula Kite registered product for 2028 Olympic cycle
• Designed purely for hydrofoil racing performance
• 2 and 4 line designs in the range
• Incredible angles and riding speed up- and downwind
• Low lift overhead allowing for high speed and super fluid tacking maneuvers
• Light bar feeling / steering pressure helps save riding energy

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

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.

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.

Finding your sweet spot 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.
