Depower Control Bar

Ozone Access 2012 Control-Snow Megatron Bar System:

With feedback from Ozone's Pro riders and customers they have simplified and refined the new control system. The stall handle has been re-designed with a reduced diameter and attachment to stop line catching.

 

The back line trimmers have been replaced with foam floats with internal back line trimming to keep the lower leader lines stiffer to reduce tangles for unhooked rider’s.

The Contact-Snow Control System still uses Ozone's Patent Pending Leash Less “RE-RIDE” safety system.

Ozone has been leading the industry since launching the original Frenzy in 2002, the Worlds 1st open celled de-powered foil.

 

Since then Ozone have been at the forefront of the snowkite revolution with the world’s bets designers and riders ensuring we stay committed to the safe and enjoyable development of the snowkite World.

 

In 2005 Ozone released the Frenzy 05 with the 1st leash-less re-ride safety system release. This meant that riders did not need a leash to stay connected to the kite in a emergency. The easy to grab handle that is just as easy to re-connect allows you to land your kite with ease.

 

In a emergency you can feel 100% confident that you can rapidly stall the kite when you need to. The fact that you have no leash means you can spin as many times as you like without any hassle or tangles.

 

One other very important but often overlooked difference with our bar systems is the build and material quality. Ozone used only the finest Amsteel spectra leaders, speed systems and the best pulleys available to ensure that your safety is not compromised and we manufacture to the same certified paragliding standards at our own factory.

 

No compromise for your safety.

Reviews

The best depowerable kite! Joe Gibson

Just get one of these! It is without a doubt the best depower kite for people just getting into depowerable kites, buggying, learning to landboard or snowkiting. I have used mine for all of these kitesports and don't think I need any other kite. It is so versatile!

Handling on this kite is easy and all of the safety features are easy to reach. The turns are smooth and the depower is so big.

Overall the 8m I think would suit most flyers in average winds - it seems big but the depower on this kite is so huge you can take it out in silly winds!

Buy one and you will not be disappointed!

Great for landboarding! Robert Bennett

This is such an easy kite to use. It may seem very docile at first but when you learn how to use it to its full potential - you will be very surprised.

Switch the power on and off by just pulling and pushing the bar is all you need to do. Pull the bar in and the power increases. Push the bar away and the power decreases.

I have been up to 40mph on my landboard with this kite and it doesnt feel scary which is what you need when you are going that fast!

Overall - this is a kite I will keep in my quiver no matter what!

Buy one and you wont regret it! Paul Ford

First off a big thank you to Powerkiteshop who put up with two weeks calls, countless questions and brain picking about the purchase of my first depowerable foil - very helpful and some sensible advice!

Now to the purchase - in a word...BRILLIANT! WHAT A KITE!

The foil is beautifully made, top notch lines, a simple bridle and a great easy to use bar. The safety systems are simple and very effective in killing power instantly and bringing the kite down safely.

 

The depower works really well and is a proper eye opener after flying fixed bridle foils making those nasty gusts easy to handle and giving a massive wind range on one size foil.

 

I bought and eight metre foil and it seems to cover my fixed 3m up to my 6m foils.

 

In summary, this is a great way to enter the wonderful world of de-power. A superb kite at a very good price. Go and buy one - you won't regret it!
