The previous versions of the Zephyr were very successful. The kite was powerful and could deliver a fast ride in light wind without any effort. At the same time it was great for heavier riders who love big jumps and increased lifting. Since the kite was a hit, the Ozone team continues the legacy of the Zephyr with the release of a new model for 2011.
The 2011 Zephyr is basically built on the same structure of the 2010 model, but it features a few tweaks that make it more efficient and versatile. Ozone has focused on improving the maneuverability, so now the rider has an absolute control, and has also improved the looping abilities, without the use of any pulleys. The kite can be powered up through a simple and fast one pump system, and once it is inflated, set up and launched it is very agile. It can cover a huge wind range, it is very maneuverable and offers a fun session.
There are times when the wind barely blows and you would love to be out on the waves running fast and performing tricks. For that you need a large kite, which could get you running in the light breeze. Ozone has come up with the perfect solution: the new 2011 Zephyr.
The Zephyr will get you running pretty fast when all the other riders sit on the beach and hope for the wind to pick up. And more than that, the Zephyr will offer you nice loops, nice jumps and top control. The 17 square meters kite is not only large, but very dynamic and agile and will meet all your demands for a light wind session. The Zephyr is powered up easy and fast through the One Pump inflation system, and once it is launched it takes maximum advantage of the lightest wind blow to offer a smooth and fast ride. The steering is effortless and precise due to the use of the new no pulleys bridle system. Also, overall maneuverability is increased by the use of a simple and easy to operate four line set up. Ozone has positioned the tip struts towards the center t prevent sail flutter, drag and to maximize the turning speed. The turning speed is also improved by the tight radius turn, which also provides a nice power boost for the rider who loves extreme moves. The refined profile and tip shape allows the rider to experience a precise and direct control and to maneuver the kite without any effort if the wind gets stronger. If it happens to crash the kite, it is not a problem, since it can be relaunched with a simple twist of the control bar, and with minimum input from the rider. At the same time, the Ozone Zephyr has a total depower option for extra safety.
Ozone has constructed the Zephyr from top quality materials to make sure it is solid and light at the same time. The canopy is constructed from Teijin Techno Force fabrics, the lines are made from high resistance Dynema, the LE and struts are made from Dimension Polyant Dacron, and the whole structure is reinforced, so it can take all the punishment without sustaining any damage. If you are looking for a kite that defies light wind and runs fast and smooth, while being easy to control and maneuverable at the same time, look no more, because the Ozone Zephyr has arrived.
