 RACE TO THE SKIES

Go much bigger and faster in less wind. The Ozone Mach 1 is the gateway for advanced free riders to enjoy even more epic sessions while rediscovering the awesome sensation of kite power that got them hooked in the beginning.

We’ve taken the most powerful elements of race kite design and re-tuned them to suit a wider range of riders, delivering rocket-fueled big air twin-tip performance and fluid, high-speed riding on a hydrofoil.

Developed from the R1 V4 and Chrono DNA, the Mach 1 sets a new benchmark for freeride performance possibilities, especially in lighter winds.

 WHO IS IT FOR? 

• Riders with prior experience using foil kites who are ready for more performance.
• Twin-tip riders focused on big air and boosting performance.
• Freeride foilers who want a high-performance kite that adapts to various riding styles.

 

 

 

 

“Our aim is to design foil kites with the same performance that we’ve always strived for, but with more accessibility. The very latest race kites, like our R1 V5, have become very technical to ride, but the great aspects of race kite performance has always been the fact they produce tremendous amounts of power and lift with a huge wind range.

Re-imagining how race kite performance could benefit free riders became a very logical place for us to start our development of the Mach1. We’ve made everything far more user-friendly than a race kite, while maintaining the high performance benefits.”

CONNOR BAINBRIDGE, OZONE R&D DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND OLYMPIC RACER

 FLYING LINE LENGTH

We recommend flying the Mach1 with 17m or 21m lines depending on conditions, discipline and rider preferences.

Choose to ride with 21m lines as an easy standard length for your first rides, in lighter winds or on larger kite sizes for all round riding.

When using 17m lines the Mach1’s handling becomes more dynamic, responsive and direct – well suited to hydro foiling. Shorter lines also increase jumping performance as you’ll feel an increased connection to the kite, while in stronger winds the upwind ability will also be enhanced.

PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING

Big Air Capabilities
Experience real high performance without the complexity of a full race kite. The Mach1 naturally boosts higher with minimal input, with significantly increased hangtime compared to tube kites.

Responsive yet Stable
Turns with more power due to the higher aspect ratio, making it ideal for controlled boosts and high-speed runs.

 

THE MACH1 IS THE ULTIMATE FREERIDE FOIL KITE FOR RIDERS SEEKING HIGH-PERFORMANCE

The Mach1 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a more redefined experience, surprisingly easy to handle and built for riders looking to elevate their performance in freeride and big air disciplines. Quite simply, it sets a new benchmark in performance foil kiting.

“The wind range of these kites is so good, especially the low end which makes it possible to practice multiple rotations in otherwise impossible conditions. It’s the best twin-tip foil kite I’ve ever tried for big air riding progression.”

KEY FEATURES AND DESIGN

Higher-Aspect-Ratio
Improved efficiency, greater hangtime and increased performance in light winds.

Refined Bridle System
Reduced bridle attachment points for easier setup while maintaining stability and control.

Durable Material Selection
Harder-wearing canopy and thicker bridle materials reduce tangles and increase longevity while maintaining lightweight performance.

Smooth & Progressive Power Delivery
Linear power output makes for more controlled and predictable handling.

Optimized for Different Line Lengths
Works exceptionally well with the advised 17 or 21m line lengths, adapting to riding style and conditions.

DESIGNED IN THREE SETS OF SIZES

The Mach1 has been paired in three sets relating to the performance needed in different wind conditions.

15 & 18M

Very powerful light wind kites, still capable of a great big air experience.

 

 

 

 

 

11 & 13M

Offering more maneuverability and playfulness. Superb big air in light winds, huge hangtimes and extremely wide wind range.

 

 

 

7 & 9M

These sizes are more based on the Chrono lower aspect design, compared to the bigger Mach 1 sizes, which have the higher-aspect R1 V4 shape. Being smaller, the 7 and 9m are for use in stronger winds and have a crazy ability to manage power. They also offer more maneuverability for freeride hydro foiling. So these retain the Chrono’s smaller size, superb ease- of-use and kite looping ability.

 

MACH1 VS CHRONO: PERFORMANCE & HANDLING DIFFERENCES

Higher Aspect Ratio & Increased Cell Count
Due to its higher aspect ratio and increased cell count compared to the Chrono, the Mach1 delivers better performance in light winds, a broader range, and smoother power generation.

Boosting & Hangtime
With increased lift and linear power output, the Mach1 excels in big air, maintaining power and speed efficiently across various line lengths.

Turning Characteristics
Unlike the Chrono’s pivotal turns, the Mach1’s higher-aspect design generates more power in turns while maintaining control and precision.
