Ozone Enduro V5

Description

The Ozone Enduro V5 retains its signature DNA of all-round performance, but now produces more lift and hangtime.

Inspired by the Vortex, Ozone have brought across some of the most effective design features, like the 16-point bridle connection and sail tension, that helped make it such an explosive yet accessible performance jumping kite.

These, alongside a revised Enduro shape with less arc in the central section, have dramatically enhanced the jump and float capabilities of the V5 compared to its predecessor.

Tried and tested to deliver long lasting performance in thousands of kites for many years, the Enduro V5 is designed with the most reliable material combination. Balancing strength and durability at a reasonable weight, the Teijin dacron airframe and triple-ripstop canopy cloth form a formidable partnership.

Reduced bar pressure and steering forces facilitate longer, heavily powered sessions, enhancing the overall freeriding experience. Additionally, the kite’s tendency to sit further forward in the wind window makes upwind riding effortless and efficient, with minimal lateral pull.

The clean forward drive and perfectly balanced feel have only added to the Enduro V5’s unhooked freestyle performance.

Freeride:

For Freeriders, the Ozone Enduro V5 excels no matter what board you choose to ride on the day. From twintip, surfboard or foil board the smooth power delivery, refined predictable handling and excellent de-power allows you to relax and enjoy the ride.

Waves:

In the Waves, the handling, de-power and drift opens up a world of opportunity and for surf freestyle the progressive handling with smooth lift make spinning and airborne tricks easy to learn and land. The Enduro V5 is not as dedicated a wave kite as the Ozone Reo, but it still delivers a solid wave riding performance more suited to tricks.

The Ozone Enduro V5 also makes freestyle progress fun and easy from your first unhooked moves, kite loops and right up to advanced unhooked riding. The Enduro V5 delivers accessible pop and drop making learning technical moves and handle passes easier, without needing to be as aggressive in your riding compared with a C-kite such as the Ozone C4.

The Enduro features multiple back line adjustments to customize steering pressure and turn speed. Combined with our Variable Bridle Geometry, this allows you to ultimately customize the feeling and performance of your kite.

Variable Bridle Geometry Settings:

Quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove give the Enduro multiple options for setting up your kite.

Freeride: 

The Freeride setting offers the ideal balance in performance and feeling for all-round riding in any conditions. This is the factory setting and we recommend you try your Enduro V5 first on the Freeride setting.

Wave: 

The Wave setting decreases the bar pressure, and increases steering reactivity in all states of power and de-power – it is easier to turn the kite while de-powered when riding a wave.  

Freestyle: 

The Freestyle setting increases sheeting bar pressure, increases power in the kite loop and increases pop for unhooked tricks. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you!  

Backline Adjustments:

Backline adjustments allow you to further tune the Enduro to your personal riding style and preference. The attachment closest to the trailing edge offers lighter bar pressure and faster turning. The attachment closest to the leading edge offers heavier bar pressure and slower turning. When combined with the Variable Bridle Geometry, this allows you to customize the feeling and performance of your kite even further.

Water Relaunching:

The relaunch is almost automatic, just turn the bar and it’s in the air. The Enduro’s constant power and fluid steering combined with user friendly characteristics makes the Enduro a dream for accelerating any learning curve. It is powerful enough to tow into the largest of waves, yet its low aspect shape will keep you on your board and not eject you when the trigger is pulled.

Features:

• Performance – mid aspect, 3 strut model
• New high volume inflate/deflate valve for quicker setup and pack down
• One-Pump system for quick and easy setup
• 4-Line Pulleyless System – simplicity reduces set up time and eliminates checking your lines twice. Pulley-less equals a more direct to kite feel and no parts to worry about getting jammed with sand or wearing out
• Teijin Techno Force sail material
• Comparable feeling throughout the size range
• Light weight aerodynamic leading edge scuff pads
• Refined tip shape for precise, intuitive handling for faster turning providing a more constant pressure throughout the Depower range.
• Multiple settings for handling heavier bar pressure and slower handling and lighter bar pressure and faster handling respectively
• Easy relaunch – just turn the bar
• Refined control system – below the bar 100% depower safety system allows the bar to spin without twisting up your leash.
