OZONE R1 V5 

PURE RACE PERFORMANCE

After a full four year development cycle and over 50 prototypes, the all new Ozone R1 V5 has shed any hint of freeride DNA to become an all-out, pure hydrofoil racing machine.

PROFILE DEVELOPMENT

• IKA Formula Kite registered product for 2028 Olympic cycle
• Designed purely for hydrofoil racing PERFORMANCE
• Incredible angles and riding speed up- and downwind
• Light bar feeling / steering pressure helps save riding energy
• Low lift overhead allowing for high speed and super fluid

 

Ozone R1 V5 Internal structure:

New profile sections were especially developed for 2-liner technology.
While we kept the cell count and planform very similar to the V4 design, we extensively focused on maximizing the potential of the profile section of each size to work in harmony with the 2-line bridle layout.

 

MORE SPEED AND MORE POWER

Capable of the highest speeds at super aggressive
riding angles, as well as the most efficient transitions
when fractions of a second count. The Ozone R1 V5 have all the elements of new design help to ensure you maintain as much momentum as possible in all situations.

 

MINI RIBS

Mini Ribs are sewn into the center of each cell along the trailing edge of all sizes for the Ozone R1 V5. These are designed to minimize the ‘ballooning’ deformation effect of the trailing edge, creating a cleaner surface for the air to release from the airfoil.

 

                                         

TRUE 2- LINE TECH WITH REDUCED LINE PLAN

The 10, 11, 14, 15, 19 and 21 meter sizes (all with 65 cells)
now feature true 2-line technology with only A and B line levels.

4-LINE SET-UP FOR STRONGER, GUSTIER CONDITIONS
SIZES: 8 & 9m

               

                

TRIPLE TRANSVERSE SAIL SHAPING

Triple Transverse Sail Shaping on sizes 10m-2lm running along the leading edge creates a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aero foil.

 

MEET THE RACE TEAM

Nico, Axel and Toni create our international hydrofoil race team. Being and the forefront of the sport since its appearance, these talents have developed an amazing portfolio of experience and knowledge.
We have very much enjoyed developing of the Ozone R1 V5 with these guys. And are sure it will not just keep them on the podium but will give access to any racer to true performance.
