Description

The Ozone Frenzy 2012 has been through a complete redesign, incorporating new technologies from Ozone’s world leading paraglider designs.

 

The new Frenzy incorporates a partially closed leading edge with mesh openings for ultimate performance, clean air intake and extra strength. A newly developed diagonal rib configuration helps optimize bridle line layout; this has enabled us to achieve a 28% reduction in line drag and a more direct feel.

 

An increased number of cells (and reduced cell width) allow more control of the upper and lower surfaces. More cells also help reduce the amount of billowing (ballooning) of the cells, resulting in cleaner surfaces and better overall performance.

 

The “Link” line is a new addition this year to the Frenzy. This line connects both sides of the Speed System together to maintain the correct distance between both sides of the kite. This “Link” line therefore controls the tension transmitted through the kite which aids stability.

 

These improvements add to the performance of the kite in all aspects; faster smoother direct handling, more power produced throughout the speed range, better stability and more de-power than ever before.

 

The Frenzy is constructed from top quality materials and features a double pulley speed-system, utilising the latest high spec Ronstan Orbit Block Series 20 pulleys. Ozone have also added 3 unique “blow out valves” to the under surface to allow the internal volume of air to be released when the kite is crashed into the ground.

 

The Ozone Frenzy has been the good friend of many Snowkiters across the globe and since its debut six years ago the Frenzy has set the standard. Chasta has taken the Frenzy to three world titles and has pushed the boundaries of the sport with this kite further than most of us can imagine.

 

The Ozone Frenzy 2012 has a thinner profile to allow it to fly faster and extend the de-power range. The bridles have been minimized by removing the D lines, helping to reduce drag and increase performance and speed.

Ozone have also worked extensively on the handling resulting in lighter bar pressure and faster turning.

The new Ozone Frenzy bridles give the kite faster handling and more depower. The new look 2012 is still the All-Terrain Frenzy we know and love, just a little more refined and suited for the Intermediate to Expert kiter.

 

The new flying line Y system helps the handling and again reduces drag even further. There is also the addition of the X line which helps reduce the chance to bowtie the kite.

 

The new kite is still a low down grunt kite which produces power just by putting it in the air but it is smoother, faster and lighter to handle.

 

The Ozone Frenzy 2012 now comes with the technically advanced Ozone “Speed System” with a double pulley on each side that allows the angle of attack (D-Power) to be changed minutely which results in the smoothest progression from full power to full D-Power.

 

The Double Pulley speed system is designed to work in harmony with the bridle plan, sail tension and profile. The balance of the design is what makes the mid-aspect Ozone Frenxy 2012 such a solid performer with un-beatable stability, turning speed, low end power and impressive D-Power.

 

Ozone Frenzy Ultralite:

The Ozone Frenzy Ultralite is based from the Frenzy design but produced with lighter materials mainly to reduce weight and packing size. It is the perfect kite for backcountry riding, hiking and discovering new snowkiting spots.

 

The Ultralite is 25% (on average) lighter than the standard Frenzy, and the reduced packed size leaves you with more space for other important tools needed during backcountry sessions.

 

The top surface is made from Porcher Sport Skytex 36gm2 cloth - this cloth is lightweight and packable while still retaining a good level of durability. The bottom surface is Porcher Sport Ultralite 27gm2 - this material is just as strong, but being an ultra light-weight cloth it is not designed to be heavily abused.

 

The Ultralite version is more sensitive to handling on the ground and cannot take as much punishment as the standard Frenzy. It will last for hundreds of hours when properly cared for, but will not withstand endless abuse. This is really only a choice for people that know how to handle their kites in all conditions!

 

Ozone recommend the Frenzy Ultralite for experienced kiters that need to save weight and volume wherever they can. In control of the right person the Ultralite really feels lighter moving through the air and launches in even the slightest breeze.

Who is this kite designed for:

 

Ozone Frenzy 2012 - 5m:

The 5m is ideal for training purposes, light riders or super storm strong winds. It is stable and produces good solid power when you move it. If you can only have one kite and you weigh less than 50kg then this is for you.

Rider weight range from 40kg to 70kg, Wind range 5 to 35knots.

 

Ozone Frenzy 2012 - 7m:

The 7m is ideal for light riders or strong winds. It is fast handling and produces good solid power when you move it. If you can only have one kite and you weigh less than 70kg then this is for you.

Rider weight range from 50kg to 80kg, Wind range 5 to 20knots.

 

Ozone Frenzy 2012 - 9m:

This kite is a dream and a perfect all rounder, ideal for riders that want to do a bit of everything. I like the kite because it is perfect for cruising, jumping or mountain climbing.

Rider weight range from 60kg to 90kg, Wind range 5 to 20knots

 

Ozone Frenzy 2012 - 11m:

The 11m is a power house and will pull almost anything. If you like to jump and fly then this is what you might be looking for. For a big kite it handles well and the de-power is excellent.

Rider weight range from 70kg to 100+kg, Wind range from 5 to 20knots.

 

Ozone Frenzy 2012 - 13m:

Very light winds or a heavy rider are needed for this kite. If the 11m was not enough for you we built this! This kite has so much grunt and it pulls like hell from the moment you put it in the air.

Rider weight range from 80+kg, Wind range depends on the rider.

Depower Control Bar

Ozone Frenzy / Frenzy Ultralite Control-Snow Megatron Control 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 we have been at the forefront of the snowkite revolution with the world’s best designers and riders ensuring we stay committed to the safe and enjoyable development of the snowkite World.

 

In 2005 Ozone released the Frenzy05 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. We use 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.

 

Bar System Features:

• New bar ends and bar in one 54cm size

Reviews

Ozone Frenzy FX is a lifting machine! Eric Twiddy

What a fantastic introduction into freestyle depowerable kites. The Ozone Frenzy FX has all you need to get yourself up and going into the air.

Handling is smooth and easy to control, power delivery is nice and you can feel the power coming in as opposed to a sudden suprise burst that pulls you over your board.

Depower is nice and probably covers about 3 foil kite sizes - so I can use my 11m from about 7mph to 20mph and still retain control.

Safety was important for me and the Megatron depower loop gives you just that as well as the X-Line which stops the kite from bow-tieing. I have had no problems with mine!

Sweet Kite! Jim Dawe

This is such a sweet kite! I have been using it for jumping as well as riding unhooked and you can do all the new school moves on this kite. I love how the kite powers up and the launch and landing of the kite is really easy even in the stronger winds.

 

Absolutely Amazing! Gavin Priest

For years I'd aspired to owning a Frenzy, it's reputation, it's prowess in the sky and it's build quality all appealed.

 

Having worked my way through many fixed bridle 4 line kites I decided to almost take the plunge a couple of years ago and bought an Ozone Access 8m. Superb, safe, powerful and dependable.

This year I decided to bite the bullet and get a 9m Frenzy FYX. Oh my God. It's absolutely amazing! I bought it with the intention of it being my only (or at least my main) kite. It is so damn good.

 

It does exactly what you want it to do. If you want air - you got it, if you want to cruise at speed - you got it, if you want to go XC - you got it. It's a dream to set up and pack away, the safety systems are second to none and the build quality is phenomenal.

 

Needless to say I have sold all my other fixed bridle kites. When flying it you are constantly pushing yourself - it inspires confidence, as do the guys at Powerkiteshop, without them I'd probably still be flying a 2.5m cheapie.

Keep it up fellas, thanks for recommending my new best friend!!
