Ozone Mach1 Kite Only 18m²

With Ozone Mach1 you'll 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.

Ozone has taken the most powerful elements of race kite design and re-tuned them to suit a wider range of riders, delivering rocket-fuelled 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.

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

Ozone Mach1 Kite Only includes:

• Kite
• Bag
• Repair kit
• Manual

Who is it for?

•  Riders with prior experience using foil kites who are ready for more performance.
• Twin-tip riders focused on big air and boosting performance.
• Freeride foilers who want a high-performance kite that adapts to various riding styles.

Flying line lenghts

• We recommend flying the Mach1 with 17m or 21m lines depending on conditions, discipline and rider preferences.
• Choose to ride with 21m lines as an easy standard length for your first rides, in lighter winds or on larger kite sizes for all round riding.
• When using 17m lines the Mach 1’s handling becomes more dynamic, responsive and direct – well suited to hydrofoiling. Shorter lines also increase jumping performance as you’ll feel an increased connection to the kite, while in stronger winds the upwind ability will also be enhanced.

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.

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.
• Optimized for Different Line Lengths Works exceptionally well with the advised 17 or 21m line lengths, adapting to riding style and conditions

The Mach 1 has been paired in three sets relating to the performance needed in different wind conditions.

• 15 & 18m Very powerful light wind kites, still capable of a great big air experience.
• 11 & 13m Offering more manoeuvrability and playfulness. Superb big air in lightwinds, huge hangtimes and extremely wide wind range.
• 7 & 9m These sizes are more based on the Chrono lower aspect design, compared to the bigger Mach 1 sizes, which have the higher-aspect R1 V4 shape. Being smaller, the 7 and 9m are for use in stronger winds and have a crazy ability to manage power. They also offer more manoeuvrability for freeride hydrofoiling. So these retain the Chrono’s smaller size, superb ease- of-use and kite looping ability.

Technical developments

New Valve System

• Improved air intake for faster inflation, and more internal pressure for better water and land relaunch.

Brake Line Adjustments

• Three settings for optimizing control depending on twin-tip, all-round or hyrdofoil riding.

Closed Cell Construction

• Ensures stability and better relaunch in varied conditions.
