Ruben LEN10’s REVIEW of the Ozone VORTEX

Ozone took a while to release their version of the Aluula material but what I can tell you is that it was worth the wait. Using this new, lighter and stiffer material allows this 3 strut design to have more stability and responsiveness. This stiffer frame holds the overall profile better and with a 16 point leading edge bridle attachment in combination with the double transversal shaping the canopy is ultra tight.

What I felt in this kite was very special as I have been flying the Ozone Edge for a few years, which is of course a powerhouse of a kite. The Vortex still has that feeling of riding powerful, fast but now with added control and maneuverability it just puts this kite in the next level.

I’d say this kite is easy enough to learn your first heliloops and kiteloops on but also caters for the high performance double loopers. An incredible achievement from the Ozone design team who use their own OZ-CAD software to make the finest tweaks. Another huge benefit from Ozone is that they produce all their products in their own factory giving them full control over quality and performance.

If you get the chance, give this one a try… or just buy it. Trust me, you’ll fly with a big fat smile on your face.
