OZONE Reflex: Vortex possibilities, everyday accessibility
The Reflex is OZONE's all-new performance freeride kite and the replacement for the Enduro. It takes the excitement of the Vortex (big air, kite loops and serious hangtime) and wraps it in a more forgiving, instinctive package with a hard-wearing Dacron airframe. One kite for every session, from flat-water boosting to waves and foiling.
- Vortex-inspired three-strut shape for a fast, responsive flying feel.
- Easy kite loops thanks to a tight turning radius that lets you learn and throw loops with confidence.
- Accessible big air: effortless take-offs, addictive hangtime and controlled landings.
- Light to medium bar pressure with a balanced, predictable feel.
- Versatile: twin-tip, wave and foil.
- Teijin triple ripstop Dacron airframe, built to outlast the abuse of everyday sessions.
Who is it for?
The Reflex suits riders fresh out of lessons who want a kite they won't outgrow, as well as advanced riders looking for a do-it-all freeride kite that jumps and loops with ease. Where the Vortex V2 Ultra-X targets intermediate to pro riders chasing outright performance, the Reflex prioritises accessibility and durability, with a slightly softer, more playful ride.
Technology
Built on Vortex three-strut DNA, the Reflex uses a finely tuned 16-point bridle and transverse leading-edge shaping. Its reinforced Dacron frame (leading edge, struts and trailing edge) delivers toughness, while a slightly lower aspect ratio adds low-end power. Features include Fast Flow one-pump inflation, a pulley-less four-line setup with back-line trim options, anti-snag line deflectors and anti-flap battens.
The Reflex mindset
OZONE sums it up in three words: "Let your instincts fly." The tight turning radius makes kite loops easy to learn and throw without fear, with no surprises.
