OZONE MACH 1 - RACE TO THE SKIES
Go much bigger and faster in less wind. This is THE gateway for advanced freeriders to enjoy even more epic sessions while rediscovering the awesome sensation of kite power that got them hooked in the beginning.
We've taken the most powerful elements of race kite design and re-tuned them to suit a wider range of riders, delivering rocket-fueled big air twin-tip performance and fluid, high-speed riding on a hydrofoil.
Developed from the R1 V4 and Chrono DNA, the Mach 1 sets a new benchmark for freeride performance possibilities, especially in lighter winds.
WHY HAS THE MACH 1 REPLACED THE CHRONO IN OUR RANGE?
Given that our latest high-performance hydrofoil race kite, the R1 V5, is now highly specialized for hydrofoil racing with a two-line setup, minimal overhead lift and is built with ultra-lightweight materials, we saw an opportunity to merge race kite performance with
PERFORMANCE
- High-performance all-round foil kite
- Amazing jumping and hangtime, even in light winds
- R1 race kite design base, re-tuned for all-round freeriding
- Increased accessibility, but some suitable experience still required
TUNING AND DESIGN
- High-aspect-ratio design
- Designed to fly on 17m or 21m lines
- 4 bridle line levels for ease of use, control and longevity
- Sheathed bridle lines for easy set-up and durability
- Lightweight but durable construction
- Transverse sail shaping
PERFORMANCE & HANDLING
Big Air Capabilities
Experience real high performance without the complexity of a full race kite. The Mach 1 naturally boosts higher with minimal input, with significantly increased hangtime compared to tube kites.
Foiling Adaptability
Functions seamlessly across different hydrofoil sizes. Shorter lines (17m) provide more direct handling, while longer lines (using the 4m extensions, making a line length of 21m) offer extra power.
Responsive yet Stable
Turns with more power due to the higher aspect ratio, making it ideal for controlled boosts and high-speed runs.
Great Depower
The Mach 1's efficient rotation benefits its ability to depower through a wide range of angle-of-attack changes.
User Experience
Easy transition for experienced tube kite riders as the feeling is intuitive and tuned to be more similar.
KEY FEATURES & DESIGN
Higher-Aspect-Ratio
Improved efficiency, greater hangtime and increased performance in light winds.
Refined Bridle System
Reduced bridle attachment points for easier setup while maintaining stability and control.
Durable Material Selection
Harder-wearing canopy and thicker bridle materials reduce tangles and increase longevity while maintaining lightweight performance.
Smooth & Progressive Power Delivery
Linear power output makes for more controlled and predictable handling
TIMO BECKER, OZONE AMBASSADOR, GERMANY:
"The wind range of these kites is so good, especially the low end which makes it possible to practice multiple rotations in otherwise impossible conditions. It's the best twin-tip foil kite I've ever tried for big air riding progression."
