Dos años después del lanzamiento de la V6, ahora más afinada que nunca, el icono regresa en forma de la Reo V7. Pura mezcla de velocidad, control de potencia, deriva y redespegue rápido, el control joystick de la V7 regala sesiones emocionantes cada vez que tocas el agua.
Encontrar una tiendaEste año también hemos lanzado un modelo Ultra-X de la Reo V7. Más información aquí…
Reo V7 Ultra-X
Para riders con al menos un buen nivel intermedio. Es más rápida, más suave y tiene mayor rango. Esta es una cometa para riders amantes de las olas. Su rápido giro, nítido control y excelente rendimiento en drift también resultan excelentes para foilers freeride que necesitan una cometa que mantenga gran capacidad de respuesta en el mayor rango posible de la ventana de viento.
Al estar fabricada con tejido más robusto que la versión Ultra-X, el recio material de la V7 resulta más adecuado para riders que suelen armar y despegar/aterrizar la cometa sobre playas más abrasivas. Las tallas más pequeñas también pueden preferirlas quienes naveguen en condiciones de viento más fuerte, cuando esa mayor durabilidad puede añadir tranquilidad en situaciones en las que para el rendimiento general los materiales más ligeros de la versión Ultra-X tendrán menos efecto
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.
Una de las primeras cosas que notarás cuando salgas a navegar con la V7 es cómo ha mejorado la sensación de control. Aplicando la experiencia de nuestros colegas diseñadores de parapentes, la Reo V7 incorpora una costura adicional en la vela que discurre cerca del borde de ataque, lo que permite una forma 3D más real.
Por supuesto, cada corte y cada panel adicional conllevan otro proceso de fabricación y pueden añadir peso. El arte del diseño consiste en encontrar ese equilibrio perfecto. No sólo hemos conseguido añadir curvatura al perfil, sino que también hemos añadido resistencia en la zona de mayor sustentación gracias a esas costuras adicionales.
Como siempre, en nuestra fábrica de Vietnam hemos seguido a rajatabla nuestra filosofía de dar vida a productos ligeros pero genéticamente fuertes, volcándonos en ello durante cada etapa de la fabricación. Gracias a nuestra habilidad y a la atención que ponemos en cada detalle de nuestras cometas, la Reo es tan una vez más igual de ligera (si no más) que la mayoría del resto de cometas de alta gama para olas que hay en el mercado.
Lo que siempre encontrarás en nuestras cometas es justo lo que se necesita para satisfacer el rendimiento que exige un rider; ni más, ni menos.
No probamos la Reo con tablas twin-tips porque no es una cometa de freeride y no está hecha para saltar. Es una purasangre para navegar olas.
La Reo V7 ofrece una evolucionada combinación de detalles de diseño que te ayudarán a navegar mejor las olas. Conservando su planta de tres costillas y bajo alargamiento, la V7 ofrece una respuesta al giro superrápida, pero con un movimiento suave como la seda a través de la ventana, y un punto dulce en su mando que ahora tiene un rango de vientos incluso más amplio.
Su perfil aerodinámico, más limpio y tenso también ha mejorado el extremo inferior de la ventana, que ahora, en la V7 es notablemente mejor. Al poder retrasar la perdida de tension en la estructura de la vela, disfrutarás todavía más de lo predecible que es y de toda la información que da la cometa en un rango de vientos mayor antes de que su respuesta se vea comprometida.
Por supuesto, un drift magnífico y que flote de forma excelente sobre la cabez siguen siendo características clave que también se han mejorado.
Refinada sensación de equilibrio, con buena velocidad de avance y perfecta para la mayoría de las condiciones, y que destaca en vientos de tierra y cruzados. La cometa puede sentarse más en el borde de la ventana de viento cuando no está propulsada, derivando a medida que bajas por la línea.
El ajuste Offshore es el nudo situado a media altura de la coleta VBG.
La cometa se sitúa un poco más atrás en la ventana de viento y maneja las condiciones de Onshore con facilidad. Una mayor presión de barra mejora la sensación que transmite la cometa cuando la ola empuja con el viento. Si prefieres una sensación ligeramente más pesada, este podría ser tu ajuste.
El ajuste Onshore es el nudo en el extremo del pigtail VBG.
Entendemos la importancia de la aerodinámica y el ahorro de peso, especialmente en una cometa donde la deriva es imperativa. Cada detalle ha sido refinado para ser lo más ligero posible, manteniendo la fuerza y la integridad que esperas de un producto Ozone.
Los riders desenganchados se sentirán como en casa sobre la Reo, volará y flotará al unísono con tus movimientos. Basta con usar la mordaza antes de desengancharse, o si prefieres navegar desenganchado a menudo, te sugerimos que ajustes las líneas guía traseras de la barra a la posición más larga. Para personalizar la presión de barra y la velocidad de giro a tus gustos, usa las lengüetas de ajuste de la línea trasera de la cometa.
El re-lanzamiento es rápido y sencillo: girando la barra o utilizando las bolas de re-lanzamiento en las lineas de dirección, el Reo se dará la vuelta y despegará del agua en un instante. Esto especialmente útil si estás atascado en la zona donde rompe la ola y ¡tienes que salir rápido de ahí!
Ozone posee su propia fábrica donde se fabrican todas las cometas, velas, tablas, hidroalas, parapentes, speed wings y accesorios. Garantizando un control de calidad manual y los mejores materiales en cada paso, también hay excelentes condiciones de trabajo para los 1.000 empleados.
El futuro es ahora. Todas las cometas y velas Ozone están diseñadas con nuestro propio y avanzado software CAD personalizado que controlamos y modificamos con cada nuevo diseño de producto. Al permitir desarrollos técnicos específicamente adaptados, nuestros diseñadores pueden maximizar el rendimiento al tiempo que minimizan los residuos.
Teijin es el principal proveedor mundial de materiales técnicos para deportes náuticos, y referencia de calidad, con una superioridad demostrada en resistencia dinámica y durabilidad.
El nuevo material de la capota de triple rip-stop tiene un revestimiento avanzado para aumentar la resistencia, la rigidez y la durabilidad, a la vez que mejora la respuesta al piloto para una sensación más directa.
El dacrón técnico triple antidesgarro es increíblemente resistente y fiable. Se utiliza en las zonas que requieren rigidez y estabilidad, el borde de ataque, las costillas, las puntas de ala y las zonas reforzadas.
El borde de ataque cuenta con la tecnología Transverse Sail Shaping, que crea una superficie más limpia en la zona más importante del perfil aerodinámico. El resultado es una circulación menos turbulenta que permite que la capa límite tarde más en desprenderse, lo que repercute positivamente en el planeo de la cometa y mejora las prestaciones.
La fabricación con costuras planas solapadas mejora el control de la vela y le aporta líneas más limpias.
SIN poleas, SIN problemas. Diseñamos todas nuestras cometas hinchables sin poleas, para que toda nuestra gama herede las sensaciones y prestaciones únicas que trasmite Ozone.
Lo que hay en el interior también cuenta: refuerzos internos para mejorar la robustez y la durabilidad, como la costura de cierre del borde de ataque, con hilos de elevada resistencia y doble capa de dacron + cinta de sellado Insignia.
En todas las zonas que reciben carga, se emplean refuerzos de dacron para mejorar la distribución de la misma. Esto permite que todas las cargas se se repartan de manera uniforme en la vela para que la cometa vuele y rinda al máximo.
Nuestro método de construcción Direct Connect mejora la distribución de la carga entre el borde de ataque, las costillas y la cúpula. Las costillas van conectadas directamente al borde de ataque y llevan refuerzos internos y externos. Este exclusivo método de fabricación garantiza que se mantengan unos perfiles limpios y con la tensión óptima en la cometa.
El borde de ataque y las costillas están reforzados en las zonas de mayor tensión para garantizar que la cometa mantenga su forma y rinda al máximo.
Una tira de doble capa en el borde de fuga, con un refuerzo interno de dyneema ligero reduce el desgaste de la cometa y contribuye a mantener la tensión óptima del borde de fuga que se calculó en el diseño. La tira de dyneema también reduce cualquier posible estiramiento en el borde de fuga.
Los parachoques de borde de ataque a menudo son elementos cosméticos, abultados e innecesarios. En Ozone fabricamos nuestras cometas y alas para que rindan y duren, y empleamos los mejores materiales y componentes disponibles. En las zonas que requieren protección contra la abrasión utilizamos un material ligero y duradero con una excelente resistencia, y los hacemos poco abultados para reducir la resistencia parásita y mantener las prestaciones.
Nuestras cámaras de aire las fabricamos nosotros mismos con maquinaria de soldadura propia y vanguardista. En todas las zonas de desgaste potencial se aplican capas dobles.
Los deflectores de línea antienganches evitan que las bridas y las líneas se enganchen en las puntas de la cometa. Mejora la seguridad cuando se despega con un compañero y facilita relanzar la cometa desde el agua.
Trabajamos a fondo durante nuestro proceso de I+D en el desarrollo del rango de tamaños para que las sensaciones sean homogéneas. Cada cometa tiene una geometría de bridas propia, que se prueba de manera individual y se afina para maximizar las sensaciones que transmite y sus prestaciones.
El nuevo sistema de inflado Fast Flow One-Pump hace rápido y sencillo armar y recoger la cometa. Hay un único punto de inflado/desinflado, y un elevado flujo de aire entre las costillas y el borde de ataque, con clips para estrangular los tubos y prevenir escapes no deseados en caso de daños.
Unos sables flexibles, estratégicamente ubicados a lo largo del borde de fuga, proporcionan soporte a la cúpula y reducen el flameo, lo que hace que el rider reciba mejor la información que le transmite la cometa y también reducen el desgaste del material.
Personaliza tu mando y presión de barra con los anclajes de la brida de la línea trasera. Deja el borde de ataque más cerca para girar más despacio y tener más presión de barra, o acerca el borde de fuga para girar más deprisa y reducir la presión de barra.
Los conectores de línea infalibles evitan montar de manera incorrecta las líneas de vuelo de la cometa.

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.
At Ozone we have always believed in designing lightness and strength into our paragliders, kites and now wings, to be as efficient in flight as possible.
Naturally, the lighter the kite or wing is, the better it will fly. The stronger it is, the longer its performance will last.
We avoid adding surplus features or unnecessary cosmetic items to our designs and use top of the line materials put through a rigorous testing programme.
If you compare the weights of any Ozone kite or wing against the most dedicated light weight specific products produced by our competitors, you’ll see that all our products are just born light. Even on our entry level designs we don’t compromise the handling benefits that airborne products undoubtedly have through being lighter.
Combined with cutting edge manufacturing and highly skilled craftspeople our designs are Born Light; Genetically Strong.
Technical, performant, durable and efficient – the lightness and strength is built in.
A clean and simple design, featuring an easy-to-use trim system and our innovative Click-In Loop Quick Release.

Push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.
Colour coded 500kg front / 300kg back lines are precision cut, pre-stretched, spliced and sewn in our own production facility to guarantee accuracy. We use the highest quality Bio-based Dyneema® – this material has the same performance as conventional Dyneema® with a carbon footprint that is 90% lower than generic HMPE fiber.
Our modular design makes adding or removing extensions quick and easy via removable pigtail end connectors.
3D pressed EVA with ergonomic shaping and a lightly sanded finish provide the ultimate bar grip. It is colour coded with the leader lines and flying lines for an added visual safety feature.
What’s the first thing you do when you get in a car? You click in your seatbelt, hearing that ‘click’ sound makes you feel secure that you are safely buckled up, and you know instinctively how to release it. The design of our innovative quick release system, the Click-In Loop, was inspired by the same principle. In the same way fastening your seatbelt has become a natural action when getting into a car, riders should activate and reload their release systems before and after every use. Although this important safety check is often overlooked, checking your release before each session will ensure it is functioning properly. We developed the Click-In function to be simple and intuitive, so activating and reloading will become second nature.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will flag out and fall to the water/ground.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more confident and have spent many hours Kiting can attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will depower but WILL NOT flag out.
Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically slips off and the kite will flag out.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is connected in the right way.
Always clean your control system with fresh water after every session, and reload/release the Click-In Loop to check the system is functioning correctly. Store your control system with the Click-In Loop release open. Reload the next time you set up your kite.

Do not ride the kite with the one pump clips undone. If you get a puncture the whole kite will deflate! Always close the one pump clips inside the neoprene covers after pumping up. Do not under inflate the kite or it will not perform to its designed trim and will not relaunch easily.
Always double check your lines before launching. Wrongly attached lines will stop the kite flying correctly and could therefore mean you have no control of the kite putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
The Quick Release is the primary connection to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick Release using the finger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless Steel Swivel Ring.

Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically slips off and the kite will flag out.
Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where you need to completely release from the kite, use the quick release on the kite leash. This will completely detach the kite and control system from the user, and could therefore hit anything or anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.
WARNING:
NEVER LAUNCH A KITE DIRECTLY DOWNWIND OF YOU IN THE POWER ZONE!
Instruct your partner on how to handle the kite and agree on a sign together for the release and landing. They should hold the kite in the center of the leading edge at the edge of the window and double check that all lines are clear. It is possible for lines to get wrapped around the tip so make sure they understand that all lines must run clearly from each attachment point.
Before you give the signal to release make sure you are 100% confident that all lines are clear. Then give your pre-agreed signal for your partner to release the kite and gently launch the kite to the top of the window.
Landing the kite use the same principles >> Most importantly keep your head clear, be smooth and controlled with the kite and land before you are too tired or overpowered.
WARNING:
Make sure you grab the correct side of the bar
– we colour code the bar red for left.
Once the kite is face down with the leading edge touching the water:
NOTE: If the kite somehow lands nose down but with the tips facing away, pull one of the rear leader lines to help the kite blow around to the correct position then follow the steps above for getting the kite re-launched.
If you get in trouble out in the water, there is a simple way to self rescue yourself.
Firstly kill the kite’s power with the flag out system by releasing the chicken loop. The kite will flag out and drop to the water.
Lines are dangerous in this situation so make sure you wind the flag out frontline around the bar at least 10x to disable the kite. Then wrap all the lines together onto the bar as you normally would. You will end up at the kite ideally with the lines wrapped tightly and neatly on the bar. Make a few half hitches to secure the lines.
Once you have got hold of the kite you can drop the bar. When you have reached the kite, take hold of the bridle lines at each wingtip. Hold both bridals to use the kite as a sail to get back to shore safely.
To release the line from the cleat teeth, first pull out and down to unlock the line from the teeth, then set the trimmer line to the desired amount.
Pull the trimmer line down to de-power the kite. This is needed if you are overpowered, for unhooked riding, or if you are walking on the beach or snow.
Release the trimmer line away from you to increase kite power.
1: FULL POWER
2: HALF POWER
3: FULL DEPOWER
All lines should be maintained as close to equal length as possible. Flying lines can stretch over time, generally the front lines stretch more as these take the majority of the load.
To check your lines, unwind the lines from the bar and have a partner hold the lines even at the bar end. Taking hold of the lines at the other end, pull on the lines to check they are even. If the lines are not even you may either;
1) Stretch out the shorter lines. Attach the shorter lines to a car hitch or something very solid. Then take hold of the bar and pull with enough force to stretch the line. Do this to any lines that are shorter and re-check that all 4 lines are equal length.
2) Use the Leader Line trimming knots located underneath the bar ends.
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.
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.
