DETAILED DESCRIPTION
No-Holds-Barred Big Air and Kiteloops
The Vortex V2 Ultra-X is built for the big days, for going all-in and turning your most ambitious ideas into reality. It will take you from your first kiteloops all the way to the most committed double and triple loops. Its high aspect ratio shape, similar to the Ozone Edge, combines a huge depower range with direct bar feedback for incredible megaloop performance. Extra arc in the profile sharpens the turning response and moves the pivot point towards the kite's center. The result is a perfect balance of agility and power, with constant pull through the entire turn, so it won't slip or stall mid-loop.
V2 Updates: Refined Control and Enhanced Durability
The V2 offers an even more direct feel and tighter control, thanks to revised canopy tensioning across the size range and a stiffer Leading Edge. You always know exactly where the kite is without having to look at it. New Anti-Flap battens, located under the canopy with extra reinforcements, reduce flutter to minimize wear and maintain that factory-fresh performance for longer. The 16-point bridle has been fine-tuned to perfect the depower range and overall ride feel. These improvements ensure the V2 keeps the original Vortex's DNA while taking a big step forward in the areas that matter most to demanding riders.
Light Wind Performance: Lighter Canopy and an All-New 17m
The 10m to 17m sizes now feature Ozone's proven, lightweight 46g Teijin double ripstop canopy. By shaving off up to 150 grams, these larger kites gain the agility of much smaller sizes and can hold their own against foil kites of the same size. The all-new 17m, a first for the range, is for riders who refuse to call it a day when the wind drops. It's the lightest 3-strut kite on the market. The 9m and smaller sizes keep the durable 55g triple ripstop canopy for bombproof durability during the most intense sessions.
Ultra-X Construction and Premium Materials
The Vortex V2 is built using Ozone's Ultra-X construction, a careful selection of cutting-edge materials. The Aluula airframe provides unmatched stiffness and lightness, combining powerful light-wind performance with precise high-wind control. Its agile 3-strut design works with the Double Transversal Shaping to create a taut, efficient canopy for optimal aerodynamic performance. High-strength Technora bridle lines cut through the air with minimal drag. Every kite is built in Ozone's own factory, designed using their proprietary OzCAD software and laser-cut for millimeter-perfect precision. Every seam is stitched with precision, creating perfectly even canopy tension across a powerful, light, and durable airframe.

FAQ - OZONE VORTEX V2 ULTRA-X
What is the difference between the Vortex V2 and V1?
The V2 benefits from revised canopy tension and a stiffer Leading Edge for a more direct feel. New Anti-Flap struts reduce wear, the lightweight 46g canopy is extended to 10m+ sizes, and a new 17m size joins the range. The 16-point bridle has also been adjusted for improved feel.
Is the Vortex V2 suitable for intermediate riders?
Yes. Despite its extreme performance in big air and kiteloops, the Vortex V2 offers intuitive and predictable steering. Its reliable catch and smooth control make it an accessible kite for intermediate riders who want to progress confidently in jumping and their first loops.
Which Vortex V2 size should I choose?
For an 80 kg rider, the Vortex V2's sizes cover everything from strong wind (the 5m handles 23-46 knots) to light wind (the 17m excels in 8-21 knots). A classic quiver typically includes 2 to 3 sizes. For example, a big air/kiteloop setup might feature a 7m, 9m, and 12m.
Why an Aluula frame?
Aluula is an ultra-light, ultra-stiff composite material. Compared to standard Dacron, it offers superior stiffness at a significantly lower weight. This translates into more power in light wind, better control in strong wind, and a more stable flight.
Is the Vortex V2 suitable for foiling?
Yes, with a 7/10 rating for hydrofoil. While it's not primarily designed for foiling, its extended wind range and impressive light wind power (especially the 15m and 17m) make it a viable option for kitefoil, perfectly complementing your big air sessions.
Which bar should I use with the Vortex V2?
The Vortex V2 is compatible with Ozone bars. Recommended bar sizes vary depending on the kite size: use a 45 cm bar for 5 to 7m kites, a 50 cm bar for 8 to 13m kites, and a 55 cm bar for the 15 and 17m kites. The "With bar" option is available when ordering.
