Description

Perfect for travelling wave riders and freeriders looking to pack more hours of fun on the water, the Ozone Alpha V3 Ultra-X has a large range, is very light weight and packs down small.

Revamped with 125 gram dacron on the leading edge and strut with a lighter weight canopy cloth, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X is not only one of the highest performing single strut kites on the market, it’s also one of the lightest.

The light bar feeling and smooth but reactive handling are tuned for intermediate riding levels and beyond, particularly in light to medium strength winds.

Designed with an efficient forward flying style, the Alpha V3 rewards kiters who are ready to generate low end power by taking advantage of the sporty steering feel and the huge range available in each size.

Excellent low end performance, in unison with quick-response steering, combine to provide excellent power potential per size. Take maximum advantage of being able to get out in lighter winds without needing to ride a big kite.

Whether you’re hoping to maximise your water time at your local spot, or increase your holiday session count, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X offers crazy potential.

Pack the Alpha V3 Ultra-X 9m for a kite trip, for example, and you’d have a huge range of available conditions open to you with a twin-tip and a surfboard.

At it's bottom end, you could be ripping waves in light winds on a really agile kite that still provides plenty of power to get back upwind. At the kite’s mid- to top-end, you can stay out for hours on big, grin-inducing freeride sessions on a twin-tip.

If you can pack your hydrofoil into your quiver bag too, your window of opportunity becomes massive. Discover endless potential for flowing foil sessions, packed with tight manoeuvres, looping the kite back and forth with instant response.

Wave and Kitefoil:

Turning tightly with a beautiful glide back up through the window, even in the lulls, kitefoilers and wave riders will not only be able to ride hard in marginal conditions on the Alpha V3 Ultra-X, but also with a more relaxed riding style.

Commit to the turns and carving manoeuvres you really want to do. The kite will look after itself, especially at the edge of the window where it’s designed to hold its position for longer, even with slack lines; an aspect of performance that has been further improved with the addition of stiff, lightweight Ultra-X materials.

The kite’s awesome drift performance allows a rider to still shred waves and turns at moments where they may not have perfect kite handling.

Quietly doing its job. Forgiving and fun; let your board do the talking!

Twintip:

The responsive steering with positive bar feedback produces an engaging combination of lift and hangtime. Delivering power without big pulses of grunt, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X is a fast riding freeride kite that doesn’t feel like it’s creating a lot of pull on the front lines, and will help intermediates gain the confidence when learning to steer a kite harder and faster.

Whether you’re looking to expand your repertoire of transitions, dark-slides, rotations, one-footers or through countless, soft kite loops and downloops, the Alpha Ultra-X offers a very balanced pull that feels predictable, smooth and makes progression easy.

Technology

Teijin Technoforce D2 and Teijin Dacron:

Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials for marine sports. We use the remarkably durable Teijin D2 canopy material in all our water kites and wings. Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.

We use the incredibly strong and reliable Teijin Dacron in all our water kites and wings. Dacron is used on parts requiring rigidity and stability – the Leading Edge, Struts, Wingtips, and all loaded areas with extra reinforcement for enhanced load distribution and durability.

One-Pump Inflation System:

The One Pump inflation system enables quick and easy setup with single point inflation of the kite.

All Struts are connected to the Leading Edge via inflation points – air will flow through the hose to inflate the entire kite.

Clips seal the hose connecting the Struts and Leading Edge to prevent unwanted airflow in case of damage.

Tuned Bridle Geometry:

Ozone work extensively 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.

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.

Unique Bladder Construction:

Ozone bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines.

Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.

Internal Reinforcements:

Internal reinforcements for improved strength and durability; such as a Double layered Dacron + Insignia taped Leading Edge closing seam with high strength threads.

Low Profile Scuff Pads:

Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. Ozone build their 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.

Reinforced Trailing Edge:

Double layer Teijin D2 Trailing Edge strip with an internal light weight Dyneema reinforcement – this reduces canopy wear and helps to maintain optimum Trailing Edge tension as designed.

The Dyneema line also reduces any potential stretch at the Trailing Edge.

World-Class Construction:

World-class construction in our own factory, using the highest quality materials and hand checked Quality Control at every step.

The Ozone factory also manufactures our Paragliding and Speed Wing range; the same Quality Control processes are used across all products.

4-Line Pulleyless System:

NO pulleys, NO problems. Ozone design all our inflatable kites without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across our range.

High Volume Deflate / Inflate Valve:

A high volume valve makes inflation and deflation quick and easy.

Pumping is a breeze thanks to the high airflow rate, while the internal seal engages to stop any air coming out under pressure.

Fool-Proof Line Connectors:

Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.

Direct Connect Struts:

Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Struts and Canopy.

The Struts are connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal reinforcements and external webbing.

This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension

Double Stitched Folded Seams:

Sail canopy seams are stitched, folded, and then stitched again for a clean and strong connection of the panels.

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.

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.

Control Bar

Ozone Contact Control Bar:

The Contact-Water Control System offers the latest in safety features, a clean control bar design and a simple easy-to-use trimming system.

Push Away Quick Release:

The control system features a new Megatron pushaway quick release safety with total flag out of the kite. The release handle is ergonomic with positive release forces (under 8kg) allowing for quick and easy release. Simple re-assembly saves time and gets you back up and riding faster.

The control system features our Megatron push-away quick release with total flag out of the kite. The release handle is ergonomic with positive release forces for quick and easy release. Simple re-assembly saves time and gets you back up and riding faster.

Two Safety Modes:

The Megatron offers riders a choice of two safety modes, the recommended standard safety or the optional Suicide safety.

The standard Flag out safety offers 100% flag out in all situations by releasing the Megatron or letting go of the bar when un-hooked.

The Suicide option offers 100% flag out only when the Megatron is released whilst hooked in, allowing riders practicing handle passes to let go of the bar with out flagging the kites safety (not recommended).

Anti-twist 100% Flag Out Line:

The flag out line running through the Megatron & safety leash attachment at the bottom keeps the leash tangle free when doing rotations and manually unwinding the centre lines using the Spinning Handle.

Soft Bar Ends with Hide-away Elastic Line Retainers:

Soft bar ends for comfort and are less likely to damage lightly constructed boards. Hide-away elastic line retainers keep wound lines secured.

Stainless Steel Leader Line Pin:

Superior strength is achieved with a Stainless pin running through the bar. This creates an ultra strong and direct connection between the control bar to flying lines.

Low Friction Centre Piece:

The control bar features a low friction aluminum centre piece designed to reduce trim line wear.

Auto Positioning Chicken Loop:

Designed in conjunction with the bar centre piece, the Megatron spinning handle allows chicken loop auto positioning, offering easy unhooked riding and hooking back in.

Magnetic trim handle system:

The Magnetic trim handle connects to a magnetic neoprene sock covering the clam cleat to reduce tangles when the trimmer is depowered.

PU Covered trim line & cast stainless steel de-power ring:

The tough PU covered trim significantly reduces wear when sheeting in and out, whilst the smooth running de-power ring also prevents trim line wear.

The Contact-Water Control System bar sizes come in 38cm, 45cm, 50cm and 55cm. The larger size PU chicken loop (sold separately) is perfect for riders with longer arms or for riders wanting even easier hooking in & out.

No compromise for your safety.
