Description
The R1 V4 has been derived from the extremely successful R1 V2 and V3, both of which set the benchmark in kite racing competitions. The V4 design takes it to the next level, delivering supercharged performance while maintaining the R1s well known ease of use and accessibility.
EXCEPTIONAL OZONE FACTORY CONSTRUCTION
World-class construction in our own factory, using the highest quality materials and hand checked Quality Control at every step. The Ozone factory manufactures all our Kites, Wings, Boards, Hydrofoils, Paragliders, Speed Wings and Accessories – the same Quality Control processes are used across all products.
DESIGNED WITH OZ-CAD
The FUTURE is NOW – All Ozone kites and wings are designed and developed using our own highly advanced custom built CAD software. Our designers are able to work with features specifically tailored to the unique forms and structures of technical inflatable and foil kites and wings. Part of our design team is dedicated to the upgrade of the CAD code and addition of new modules and features to the program as the development of our products continues.
HIGH PERFORMANCE 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.
DOUBLE TRANSVERSE SAIL SHAPING
Double Transverse Sail Shaping produces a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil, resulting in 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.
OPTIMISED LEADING EDGE AIR INTAKES
Precisely positioned intake valves along the Leading Edge lead to a stability increase at all angles of attack. The inflation is easy and safe as the kite rapidly inflates.
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 that helps control the high aspect ratio, while allowing the top and bottom surfaces to maintain the designed profile without being distorted from indirect tension or loads.
PRO-TUNE SPEED SYSTEM
The all-new R1 V4 Pro-Tune Speed System is lightweight and low drag using reduced line diameters and features incredibly simple adjustment via the stream line self-locking Splice Trim System. Durable line materials reduce wear and tear on the pulley lines, with increased resistance to stretch or shrinkage for a longer life span. The Speed System is a Double-Pulley layout using high spec low friction Ronstan Orbit pulleys. NOTE: You must watch the How To video before adjusting your Speed System settings.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRIDLE LINES
High performance low drag Technora bridle lines are a key component to the R1’s outstanding performance. Technora line is ultra strong with unbeaten stretch and shrinkage characteristics to maintain the highest performance trim.
WATER DRAINAGE CHANNELS
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. The Velcro sealed cells at the 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.
CLOSED CELL KITE TECHNICAL BAG (OPTIONAL)
Technical Bag with loads of space featuring an internal stash pocket and external control system pocket. Adjustable shoulder straps and foam padding provide extra comfort.
CLOSED CELL KITE COMPRESSOR BAG (OPTIONAL)
For a secure packing process to maintain the plastic pattern profile shape. Light weight materials, internal compression straps and a breathable mesh lining keep weight and packing size to a minimum – perfect when traveling with multiple kites. Combine with the Bag to fit multiple kites inside one bag.
