PERFECT FOR

 

• First foil kite for intermediate kitesurfers on water
• Riders who desire sportier turning on snow or water

 

The V4 has been improved throughout, with lighter bar feeling and reduced aspect-ratio to make it faster and more nippy in its steering.

For kiters who are used to the handling feel of an inflatable kite, the Hyperlink V4’s similar steering performance makes it the obvious choice when transitioning to using a foil kite.

The Hyperlink V4 covers almost every aspect of kiting. Freeride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked as well as backcountry snow missions; it delivers for all!

PERFECT FOR YOUR QUIVER

 

The Hyperlink may not be as fast as your inflatable kite, but the way it moves and turns will feel more familiar than other foil kites.

By adding the Hyperlink V4 to your quiver you’ll enjoy incredible stability, light wind power and cross-over performance. The familiar handling feel will keep your adjustment time to a minimum, meaning you’ll be having more fun, more quickly.

DESIGN INSIGHTS

“Developing the Hyperlink is always exciting. Thanks to the multi-purpose design brief it takes us from riding twin tips and foils on water, to the highest peaks in the mountains on snow… and anywhere in between.

We found the V3 could fatigue your arms on long days in the mountains, so we worked on reducing the bar pressure and steering forces while also increasing the turning speed.
The V4 is now more fun on snow as it nicely accelerates through the loops, is extremely stable while offering great depower. Oh, and it glides pretty well too! On water, the increased handling makes it more fun and easier to send for big jumps.”

DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE HEAD KITE DESIGNER

MORE DYNAMIC HANDLING 

The V4 incorporates Ozone’s signature Transverse Sail Shaping, ensuring a smoother aerodynamic profile and reducing air turbulence. The kite’s upper and lower surfaces are constructed from durable, lightweight, double rip-stop nylon with a water-shedding coating for improved aerodynamics and relaunch.

An optimised internal structure, with diagonal ribs and span-wise straps, ensures the profile maintains its shape under load, allowing consistent performance across all conditions.

FOR WATER AND SNOW

The Hyperlink V4 is the ultimate cross-over foil kite, designed for both water and snow. Easily switch between 4-line closed cell mode and 5-line open cell mode:

4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODE

The Hyperlink comes standard in 4-line Closed Cell Mode, which is recommended when using the kite on the water. It uses the same front line flag out safety system as our inflatable 4-line kites.

After pre-inflating the kite on the ground, the kite fully inflates itself in the air, offering responsive, intuitive steering that feels similar to an inflatable. This has been the hallmark of the Hyperlink range and why, for many, it’s the perfect first foil kite.

The new V4 model handles even faster and with more freeride and jumping capabilities, bringing it even closer to the feel of an inflatable kite.

RELAUNCH

Relaunch is also quick and easy in closed cell mode as water is kept out of the cells. To relaunch the Hyperlink just pull one line, using the relaunch ball and / or brake handle on the back leader lines.

5-LINE OPEN CELL MODE

For safety, 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land. Due to the valves being open, inflation is also quicker.

Paired with the optional 5- line Internal Re-Ride Release System it allows for instant depower and safe self-landing, making it perfect for adventurous snowkiters. Simply relaunch again when you’re rested and ready to go again.

HYPERLINK V4 Vs. CHRONO V5

ON THE WATER

Using the Hyperlink in closed cell 4-line mode (as recommended for use on the water), the Hyperlink V4 doesn’t shoot as far forward in the window as the Chrono. With its higher aspect-ratio design the Chrono’s airspeed is also faster, so it’s capable of producing greater board speed and boosting height, but it’s slower in its turning and wider in its arc.

If you’re familiar with our inflatable kite range, think of the Hyperlink like the Enduro and the Chrono more like the Edge. The Hyperlink is more of an all-rounder, turning tighter and easier. Generally, it is more easy-going and has an excellent relaunch.

In gusty winds, or if you’re overpowered, the Hyperlink V4 will also feel more stable.

The Chrono is the racier model and takes a little more technical foil kite know-how to handle it.

For freeride twin-tip and hydrofoil riding the Hyperlink V4 feels very intuitive. If you have some foil kite experience and are looking to ride your hydrofoil at speed, or push the biggest hang-times on your twin-tip, you should look at the Chrono for its fly and glide performance.

HYPERLINK V4 Vs. OTHER OZONE SNOWKITES

ON THE SNOW

The Hyperlink’s tight turning and superior handling are ideal for intermediate snowkiters through to advanced riders who seek adventure, with the power to climb hills and navigate difficult terrain.

(The Chrono V5 is a closed cell design, so it can’t quickly expel air from its cells when trying to self-land / collapse the kite and kill the power, so isn’t recommended for use on the snow.)

OZONE SAFETY

 

All Ozone snow kites come with our unique Internal Re-Ride Release System which is the market leading Snowkite release and landing system. It has made mountain climbing and packing so much more enjoyable, safe, easy and quick for the user. When activated the kite de-powers instantly without tangling, and will sit on the ground ready to re-launch when you’re ready again.

BRAKE LINE SETTINGS

Three settings allow you to fine tune kite feedback and bar pressure to your liking. It is quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove.

1: HYDROFOIL

Decreases bar pressure with a longer lifting period, perfect for foiling manoeuvres. The hydrofoil setting is the upper knot on the PB1 line.

2: ALL-ROUND

The ideal balance in performance and feeling for most riders and conditions. The all-round setting is the middle knot on the PB1 line (factory setting).

3: TWIN TIP

Increases bar pressure and offers a sharper, more direct feeling, perfect for twin tip riding. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you. The twin tip setting is the lower knot on the PB1 line.

 

 

FLYING LINES RECOMMENDATIONS

 

We recommend 23m lines for all Hyperlink V4 sizes, but shorter lines (10m-21m) offer greater responsiveness, especially for hydrofoiling. Shorter lines also enhance upwind ability in stronger winds.

(We have various line length sets available as optional extras. Please order from your local dealer.)

RETURNING DESIGN FEATURES

 

The Hyperlink V4 has improved in all aspects of its handling through small but progressive design tweaks, rather than an overhaul of what was already a successful cross-over foil kite design. Read more in the ‘Features’ tab in the menu options on this page.

  Click-in Loop
  
  

  Push-away quick release con un’innovativa funzione di ricarica Click-In one-step incredibilmente intuitiva. La maniglia di rilascio si adatta comodamente alla mano, è facile e veloce da attivare il rilascio spingendolo via. Un meccanismo di rilascio di auto-posizionamento si posiziona automaticamente, pronto per essere ricaricato semplicemente “facendo clic” nel loop. Il Click-In Loop è certificato AFNOR NF S52-503.

• Linee di volo modulari Dyneema® a base biologica
  

  Le linee anteriori da 500 kg / posteriori da 300 kg codificate a colori sono tagliate con precisione, pre-stirate, giuntate e cucite nel nostro stabilimento di produzione per garantire la precisione. Utilizziamo Dyneema a base biologica di altissima qualità: questo materiale ha le stesse prestazioni del Dyneema®® convenzionale con un’impronta di carbonio inferiore del 90% rispetto alla fibra HMPE generica.

  

• Design modulare

  Il nostro design modulare rende l’aggiunta o la rimozione di estensioni rapida e semplice tramite connettori pigtail end rimovibili.

  

• Impugnatura ergonomica in EVA
  

  L’EVA pressata in 3D con forma ergonomica e finitura leggermente levigata offre la massima presa sulla barra. È codificato a colori con le linee guida e le linee di volo per una maggiore caratteristica di sicurezza visiva.

  

• Design di inspirazione

  Qual è la prima cosa che fai quando esci in macchina? Fai clic nella cintura di sicurezza, sentire quel suono “clic” ti fa sentire sicuro di essere allacciato e sai istintivamente come rilasciarlo. Il design del nostro innovativo sistema di sgancio rapido, il Click-In Loop, è stato ispirato dallo stesso principio. Allo stesso modo in cui fissare la cintura di sicurezza è diventata un’azione naturale quando si entra in un’auto, i Rider dovrebbero attivare e ricaricare i loro sistemi di rilascio prima e dopo ogni utilizzo. Sebbene questo importante controllo di sicurezza sia spesso trascurato, controllare il rilascio prima di ogni sessione garantirà il corretto funzionamento. Abbiamo sviluppato la funzione Click-In per essere semplice e intuitiva, quindi l’attivazione e il ricaricamento diventeranno una seconda natura.

  

• Note importanti:

  Sotto il rilascio della barra (modalità consigliata)
  

  Tutti i piloti devono attaccare il loro kite leash al sistema Flag Out. Questo è il piccolo occhiello sull’anello girevole in acciaio inossidabile.
  Quando il rilascio è attivato, l’aquilone si depotenziera’ e cadrà nell’acqua / terra.

  

• Piloti avanzati
  

  (Uso a proprio rischio, non raccomandato)
  

  I Rider che eseguono trick sganciati o che sono più sicuri e hanno trascorso molte ore in kite possono collegarsi in modalità Esperto, dove la parte del loop attraversa il grande occhio dell’anello d’acciaio. Quando si lascia andare la barra in modalità Esperto (senza attivare il rilascio, ad esempio il passaggio della maniglia mancato) l’aquilone si depotenzierà ma NON andra’ in flag out.

  Essere consapevoli in questa situazione, la Quick Release sarà fuori portata e non può quindi essere rilasciata. Quando è agganciato e attiva lo sgancio rapido, l’anello in acciaio scivola automaticamente e l’aquilone andra’ in flag out.

  

• Tienilo pulito:
  

  In tutte le situazioni assicurarsi che tutte le linee siano libere da tutti i sistemi di rilascio funzionanti e che il leash dell’aquilone sia collegato nel modo giusto.

  Pulire sempre il sistema di controllo con acqua dolce dopo ogni sessione e ricaricare/rilasciare il click-in Loop per verificare il corretto funzionamento del sistema. Riporre il sistema di controllo con il Click-In Loop aperto. Ricaricare la prossima volta che si prepara Il Kite.
