Description

The Ozone Manta II (2) 09 is a kite that has evolved from the pursuit of perfection during Ozone's progression with the Frenzy design.

 

Due to it's long wing tips and flowing shape - the Manta glides through the sky with speed and lift providing a modern ride for old school fliers or previous Frenzy owners.

 

Its solid performance and incredibely tight turning radius make climbing mountains easier and more importantly safer. For the 09 Season the Manta II 09 has been updated with an improved trim giving higher performance. It also comes with Ozone's new “Patent Pending” Control System and in our new colours.

Not everyone wants to push their limits to the extent of the top riders in the world and some just don't have the same level of skill or time to dedicate to our sport. This is why Ozone have developed the Ozone Manta II (2) 09.

The Ozone Manta II (2) 09 will still push the limits of those who wish to take it on, so be under no illusions that this kite will require the pilot to be highly skilled.

 

The new Ozone Manta 2 (II) 09 has a new 2 pulley speed system, high performance profile, low drag bridle layout, internal diagonals to further reduce line drag and a new swept high aspect ratio plan form.

 

The two pulley speed system reduces bar pressure tremendously and allows the kite to fly faster while retaining stability throughout the wind range.

 

Because the handling is faster it is easy to pop and the high performance profile keeps you up there for a long time. In light wind you have to work the kite to gain speed but once you feel it power up it just keeps pulling progressively.

 

Unlike the Frenzy, the kite does not have low down grunt power, you need to create speed to get the power out of this kite which is why it is a high performance kite designed for riders that know how to kite.

The Ozone Manta II (2) 09 is the perfect kite for intermediate to expert riders demanding a kite that has no barriers in its performance.

Ozone Manta II (2) 09 - 8m:

Ozone's personal favourite from 15 knots and up. The small size is very fast so it can create a lot of power when you move it which makes it perfect for riding all over the place. Lighter riders will rip on this kite in all winds and heavy riders using it in strong wind will be amazed by the power it produces.

Rider weight range from 50 kg to 80 kg, Wind range 5 to 20 knots.

 

Ozone Manta II (2) 09 - 10m:

This is the all-round season choice for the season. From 5 to 20knots this kite has everything you want.

Rider weight range from 60 kg to 90 kg, Wind range 5 to 20 knots.

 

Ozone Manta II (2) 09 - 12m:

Ozone are sure that Chasta will be using the 12m just about all the time because he can handle the power well. The 12m although bigger retains good handling and is still fast and has really good hang time so it is a good freestyle choice.

Rider weight range from 70 kg to 100+kg, Wind range from 5 to 20 knots.

 

Ozone Manta II (2) 09 - 15m:

This is a big kite for big guys or very big air if you ride like Chasta. For sure it has power even in light winds but because of its size it requires skill to keep it flying in very light winds. In stronger winds it is a flying machine beyond belief! This kite pulls hard!

Rider weight range from 80+kg, Wind range depends on the rider!

Depower Control Bar

 

Ozone Manta II (2) 09 Megatron Control Bar System:

Ozone has been leading the industry since launching the original Frenzy in 2002, the Worlds 1st open celled de-powered foil. Since then Ozone have been at the forefront of the snowkite revolution with the world’s bets designers and riders ensuring we stay committed to the safe and enjoyable development of the snowkite World.

 

In 2005 Ozone released the Frenzy 05 with the 1st leash-less re-ride safety system release. This meant that riders did not need a leash to stay connected to the kite in a emergency. The easy yo grab handle that is just as easy to re-connect allows you to land your kite with ease. In a emergency you can feel 100% confident that you can rapidly stall the kite when you need to. The fact that you have no leash means you can spin as many times as you like without any hassle or tangles.

 

One other very important but often overlooked difference with our bar systems is the build and material quality. Ozone used only the finest Amsteel spectra leaders, speed systems and the best pulleys available to ensure that your safety is not compromised and we manufacture to the same certified paragliding standards at our own factory. No compromise for your safety.

Reviews

Great wind range, stability and hangtime! Sly Jennings

In the lighter winds the Manta impressed everyone on the mountain. At one point it was the only kite out there that had enough power for some fun. As the wind picked up a little the kite really came to life with lots of usable power right across the wind window while flying super stable at all times. Holding the kite in the power made for easy ascents up the mountain terrain and sitting the kite at the zenith with the depower trimmed off made boarding back down a cinch, just feeding the power back in as you needed it, tacking back upwind was no problem either. In the higher wind this kite is amazing, sit back and cruise or redirecting for some high lift fun.

 

Smooth, Smooth, Smooth. Redirect and up you go, no drama, loads of lift and a controlled glide back down, edge hard for more pop then add a little bar pressure and the hang time you are rewarded with is impressive to say the least.

 

As with all the top brand, Ozone included, the build quality is top notch, the highest quality materials are used throughout with reinforcement in all the ‘stress’ areas. The backpack is worth a mention here also, loads of room, two kites packed in with no problem, with space left for supplies and essentials, also very comfortable to wear which can be important when you need to board and hike 10 kilometres to find the best sites.

 

The carbon bar is comfortable to use and the leashless safety and re-ride system works very well. Adjustment of the de-power system is easily done, even with snowboarding gloves on.

 

Overall this kite is stable with great pop and hang time. Large wind range and most of all FUN!Another top performer from the boys at Ozone!
