Ozone ALPHA V3 ULTRA-X

Technical information

Our ultimate lightweight kite returns… even lighter and higher performing thanks to the addition of our Ultra-X materials. Revamped with 125 gram dacron on the leading edge and strut with a lighter weight canopy cloth, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X is not only one of the highest performing single strut kites on the market, it’s also one of the lightest. Perfect for travelling wave riders and freeriders looking to pack more hours of fun on the water, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X has a large range, is very light weight and packs down small. If keeping things to a minimum on the weighing scales is a high priority, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X is your ideal option. The light bar feeling and smooth but reactive handling are tuned for intermediate riding levels and beyond, particularly in light to medium strength winds. Designed with an efficient forward flying style, the Alpha V3 rewards kiters who are ready to generate low end power by taking advantage of the sporty steering feel and the huge range available in each size. Excellent low end performance, in unison with quick-response steering, combine to provide excellent power potential per size. Take maximum advantage of being able to get out in lighter winds without needing to ride a big kite. Turning tightly with a beautiful glide back up through the window, even in the lulls, kitefoilers and wave riders will not only be able to ride hard in marginal conditions on the Alpha V3 Ultra-X, but also with a more relaxed riding style. Commit to the turns and carving manoeuvres you really want to do. The kite will look after itself, especially at the edge of the window where it’s designed to hold its position for longer, even with slack lines; an aspect of performance that has been further improved with the addition of stiff, lightweight Ultra-X materials. The kite’s awesome drift performance allows a rider to still shred waves and turns at moments where they may not have perfect kite handling.  The responsive steering with positive bar feedback produces an engaging combination of lift and hangtime. Delivering power without big pulses of grunt, the Alpha V3 Ultra-X is a fast riding freeride kite that doesn’t feel like it’s creating a lot of pull on the front lines, and will help intermediates gain the confidence when learning to steer a kite harder and faster. Whether you’re looking to expand your repertoire of transitions, dark-slides, rotations, one-footers or through countless, soft kite loops and downloops, the Alpha Ultra-X offers a very balanced pull that feels predictable, smooth and makes progression easy. Our continuous Curve Leading Edge construction technique means that each segment is curved to form a perfectly smooth arc from tip-to-tip, instead of having straight segments of material joined together with angled joints to form a curve. Transversal Sail Shaping on the canopy running alongside the leading edge perfectly matches the Continuous Curve. As featured on our latest products, these design features reduce parasitic drag and create a cleaner surface at the most important area of the airfoil. The result is less turbulent airflow, which positively affects the lift-to-drag-ratio, increasing overall performance.
