Ozone Chrono V5 Kite Only 13m²

Designed for all-round twin-tip and hydrofoil riders looking to push their limits and maximise the available conditions, whether through achieving max speeds or max hang times.

• Universal high performance foil kite
• Newly refined sail shaping for better acceleration and smoother handling
• All-round, twin-tip and hydrofoil settings
• New smaller sizes with exciting strong wind performance
• For experienced riders or those with previous foil experience

The Chrono V5 isn’t as much of a re-worked design as the V4 model was, but instead is a continued evolution of refined handling. Performance-wise it still sits between the Hyperlink and R1 models in the range.

• Design focus for the V5 was centred upon refined sail shaping that has resulted in rounder loops with better acceleration, generally smoother handling and later stalling.
• New 9 & 7 metre sizes are capable of immense boost and glide, delivering very exciting performance possibilities in stronger winds.
• There’s also a new valve design, allowing for faster inflation and better seal.

While it’s only slightly more demanding than the Hyperlink to fly, the Chrono V5’s performance spectrum edges closer to the remarkable R1 race machine, unlocking your potential for progression.

Ozone Chrono V5 proudly carries forward the rich legacy of its predecessors. Meticulously crafted using cutting-edge design technology, this kite offers both accessible and exceptional performance.
Although the new nine and seven metre sizes are designed to perform in stronger winds, the Chrono V5 is still focused on providing epic sessions for both hydrofoil and twin-tip riders who want to push their performance levels in light to mid-range winds.

Introduced on the Chrono V4, our innovative leading edge Transverse Sail Shaping design optimises the vital aerofoil section, resulting in a smoother surface and sweeter aerodynamic performance.

The Chrono V5 is still based on the same planform carried forward from the V4, with a high cell count and relatively few (and shorter) bridle lines. Not only does this reduce drag, it also makes for an easier and simplified set-up compared to other performance-based designs on the market.
Beautifully light weight and with unparalleled stability, the Chrono V5’s immediate response to bar input also makes it easy to find power from even the faintest gusts, helping you to thrive in conditions where available power would otherwise be minimal.
While the newly enhanced, lighter bar sensation means fatigue is no longer a concern, fluid and dynamic movement produces constant power delivery throughout turns for a very connected flying experience.

Integrating lightweight, airtight and robust double rip-stop fabric on its upper and lower surfaces, the Chrono V5’s water-repellent coating enhances flight characteristics and facilitates water relaunch. At Ozone durability meets lightness, as always. Refined leading edge air intakes ensure efficient inflation, an improved seal and optimised positioning for consistent internal air pressure. These enhancements also assist both land and water relaunch capabilities, ensuring seamless recovery.

When riding a hydrofoil, the Chrono V5 feels like you have your hands on the wheel of a high-performance sports car; the harder you push, the more it delivers. Whether carving sharp angles upwind or streaking off downwind at high speed, the kite offers remarkable acceleration and agility.
Effortless upwind rides are also a given on a twin-tip and, when it comes down to the raw emotions of riding, you’ll find big thrills on flat water by simply sheeting in hard to let rip.
Even when unleashing the kite’s enormous power and speed, the smooth control and agile response provides all the confidence you need to load up your rail and send yourself to the stars.

Set your kiteboarding experience alight with the Chrono V5 and convert vast ocean spaces into your personal playground.

BRAKE LINE SETTINGS
Three settings allow you to fine tune kite feedback and bar pressure to your liking. It is quick and easy to change with no extra lines to add or remove.

1: HYDROFOIL:
Decreases bar pressure with a longer lifting period perfect for foiling manoeuvres. The hydrofoil setting is the upper knot on the PB1 line.

2: ALL-ROUND:
The ideal balance in performance and feeling for most riders and conditions. The All-Round setting is the middle knot on the PB1 line (factory setting).

3: TWIN-TIP:
Increases bar pressure and offers a sharper, more direct feeling, perfect for twin-tip riding. If you prefer a heavier and direct feel this could be the setting for you. The twin-tip setting is the lower knot on the PB1 line.


Using line lengths of 19m to 23m the handling of the Chrono V5 becomes more responsive and direct, making jumping performance easier as you’ll feel an increased ‘connection’ to the kite. In stronger winds the upwind ability will be enhanced significantly with shorter lines. If you are looking for this feeling we recommend the following line lengths:

• 7m & 9m – 19m or 21m lines
• 11m & 13m – 21m lines
• 15m & 18m – 23m lines

For hydrofoiling shorter lines (10m to 20m) are preferred by a wide range of users for dynamic handling and response.
