LA COMETA MÁS TENSA QUE HEMOS CREADO HASTA LA FECHA

La búsqueda de una cometa lo más tensa posible es un viaje que nunca se detiene. Tanto si eliges la V7 como la V7 Ultra-X, ambas comparten la forma y distribución de los paneles. Desde la V6 se han introducido muchos retoques sutiles en las líneas de costura y los paneles, pero la mayor mejora en la tensión de la cometa se debe al perfilado transversal de la vela en el borde de ataque.

Geometría de brida variable (VBG)

Rápida y fácil de cambiar sin líneas adicionales que añadir o quitar. Estos ajustes de la brida amplían el rango de tipos de navegación que puede hacerse con las cometas, lo que aporta aún más versatilidad a diseños ya de por sí excepcionales.

Kite and Control System Warnings:

• Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.
• Always learn to use a small trainer kite before attempting to use a larger power kite.
• Never allow anyone who is not familiar with power kites to use this product.
• Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous.
• The kite/control system is equipped with passive safety systems, which need to be activated by the user for them to work.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to the kite or any of its components.
• Never use this kite with another control system or safety leash. Only use the control system that is supplied with this kite. Other brands are not compatible with this design therefore and the safety system will not work.
• Always wear protective equipment when using this product, for example; helmet, gloves, shoes, protective eyewear etc.
• Always use a high quality and well maintained kite specific harness.
• Get yourself used to the way all quick release devices work by testing them often in a non-emergency situation.
• Rinse all quick release devices in fresh water after each use. Quick release devices have a limited lifetime and must be checked and replaced often.
• Always activate and re-load all safety systems to familiarize yourself with how they work. This is the only way to be sure that you know how to use them in all situations, and that they are correctly loaded and safe for use.
• The quick release trim loop and kite leash equipped with a quick release must be replacement after 250hours of use. Replace them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of quick release devices is not considered a warranty issue.
• Never touch the flying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under tension and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury or death.
• Always check your flying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled flying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self launch unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this product.

Choose safe weather conditions and locations:

• Be aware of the general risks associated with action sports.
• Ensure you understand all weather forecasts and prepare for changes in weather.
• Never learn to use this product in more than 10 knots of wind.

• Only use this product when you have at least 100m of clear space downwind, and on both sides of your launching position. The power of the kite can pull you downwind unexpectedly with great force.
• Do not fly your kite over other people or pets. Spectators should remain upwind of you when using this product.
• Never use this product on crowded beaches or fields.
• Practice launching and landing procedures, and self rescue techniques before using this product near the water.

Care & Maintenance

Kites are very technical products and are used in the harsh marine environment. If you use common sense and care for your equipment it will look after you and keep its factory trim for hundreds of hours.

Never pump up your kite on a rough surface which may have sharp objects.

Be very careful with your flying lines. If you catch them on a rock or sharp object thoroughly check each one and we recommend you replace your lines. Also make sure there are no knots in the lines. Knots weaken the line by up to 50%.

Once you have pumped up secure your kite with sand or use sandbags  – Do not use heavy objects or even your board, the fins have been known to rip kites.

Never leave your kite on the beach un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. The trailing edge flapping and sand hitting the sail cloth will severely shorten the kite’s life. UV also shortens the lifespan of a kite so pack away when not using your kite.

Never pack away your kite wet, only when 100% dry – This will damage the cloth and its coatings and may lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.

Never leave your kite inside your car in direct sunlight.

Always clean your control system with fresh water after every session, and reload/release the Quick Release to check the system is functioning correctly. Store your control system with the Quick Release open. Reload the next time you set up your kite.

When inflating the bladders always inflate slowly and ensure the bladders are inflating correctly in the struts or leading edge. If you see a twist or something looks strange STOP pumping immediately and check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inflate properly.

Repairs

We supply a repair kit with the following contents:

1. A4 pieces of sail cloth

2. A4 piece of Dacron

3. 1 x length of 50mm wide sticky black repair tape

4. 6” x 3” Tear-Aid bladder repair patch

5. 2 Alcohol wipes

6. One pump clip / hose / hose retainer

If you have a major repair like a tear across panels, struts or the leading edge take the kite to your local sail repair shop. For minor tears and bladder punctures you can easily fix these yourself with the repair kit supplied with the kite.

A CULMINATION OF ALL WE’VE LEARNT FROM 25 YEARS OF AERODYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT IN OUR OWN FACTORY

The Reo V7 and Ultra-X are a culmination of all that we’ve learnt through more than two decades of Ozone running its own factory that builds paragliders, wingsuits, kites, wings and accessories. A thousand highly trained employees apply their skills across nine factory floors, including the dedicated prototyping department that operates full time. The turnaround on ideas into physical products is super fast and allows for the development of strong, lightweight and perfectly trimmed products to come to life.

Intense high performance levels are borne from the fact that our designers capitalise on having 100% access to the factory to try new ideas and then produce as many prototypes as it takes to make products feel just right.

Ozone not only owns all its own production processes in the factory but also in design. Our highly advanced, custom built OzCAD software, built from the ground up, means that our designers intimately understand every square inch of pressure exerted in each size of every product. Part of our design team is dedicated to the upgrade of the CAD code as well as the addition of new modules and features to the program as the development of our products continues.
