*6.5m in stock!
The Flux V1 will sit within the wing range in a similar max-performance position that the Edge holds in the Ozone kite line-up. Suited to good intermediates to advanced freeriders looking for the latest handling advantages. Flying fast, bred to shred and toned and tough from tip-to-tip, the all new Flux V1 has been designed by perfectly orienting proven, cutting edge materials to deliver extreme aerodynamic performance with a huge sweet spot. We knew it was time to throw everything into developing a wing to deliver the type of true high-performance that matters to most wingers; speed and control, because every aspect of your own performance stems from there.
Sensational air speed and immense power management
Drastically reduced drag improves all areas of performance
Super-direct connection via ergonomic carbon fiber handles
with EVA grip
High-aspect-ratio design with swept-leading edge planform
for incredible glide
Exotically featured, material enriched, super-fast and fun
After almost 80 prototypes, the Flux flies faster than any wingOzone ever made. Not only does it create more immediate power, but the Fluxsprecisely tightened canopy structure can now hold and managefar more wind. Load it up and the Flux will keep its shape
“The Flux is better for all types of riding that I do. The stability and rigidity of the sail shape along with reduced drag provide obvious performance benefits when riding with power from the wing, but theimprovement is just as noticeable during transitions and when flagged out wave riding.”
-JOHNNY HEINEKEN, DOUBLE KITE RACING WORLD CHAMPION & PACIFIC COAST
WINGFOIL CHAMPION 2023
WHEN PERFORMANCE IS PARAMOUNT ENTER THE FLUX
The aim was to design a product to fuel ridersconfidence levels in stronger conditions, but the Fluxgoes far beyond that; it delivers an entirely new sense ofconnection so you can engage more completely with thewind at both ends of its strength spectrum.The capacity of this wing is almost endless by todaysstandards. You simply have to experience how it continuesto hold and process more and more power, opening up yourriding potential beyond comparison.The Flux is for riders who want to get up to blisteringspeeds and enjoy staggering aerodynamic performance, forjumping, carving, wave riding, racing and everythingin between.
BLENDED PERFORMANCE ZONES
Ozone’s aim with every product is to make them fly asefficiently as possible but not at the expense ofbalancing the belief that our customers should be buyingthe best made product possible.Having 100% access to Ozones own factory givesour designers a unique advantage when it comes tounderstanding material application. For a super highperformance model like the Flux, its not only the materialsthemselves, but the intricate positioning and thenhandmade craftsmanship by our expert team of sewers thatare key to the Fluxs superior aerodynamic handling.While much of the design journey through the 80+prototypes was about finding the magic point at which allthese elements work in harmony, there are five featuresthat really supercharge the handling in the Flux and helpcreate its bigger sweet spot, starting with the pre-loadedleading edge…
PRELOADED LEADING EDGE
Say goodbye to baggy canopy cloth and hello to moreperformance and a longer lasting shape.Using a performance Dacron material that is rigid andstrong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leadingedge and shape it to experience drastically less deformationunder load.Combined with optimised sail shaping and horizontalpanels for a tighter canopy, the Flux delivers hugeaerodynamic performance gains.
“We have developed a new way to add tension to the leading edge. When we then put the sail on to the leading edge it transfers the tension into the sail, making it tight and clean. When we finallycracked that part of the puzzle, it was a major breakthrough in controlling the sail though the angleof attack range. You can, of course, have too much tension leading to deformation, its a fine balance.” – DOM ZIMMERMANN, CO-DESIGNER
“This perfect tension correlates with excellent feel during jibes and tacks. When a wing luffs too muchit can push down and impact your technique. The canopy is very clean and taught on the Flux. Duringthe later R&D stages we knew we were closing in on our goal of making a wing that is rigid, tight andclean, to be as smooth and predictable as possible during all maneuvers.” -TORRIN BRIGHT, PRODUCT MANAGER AND TEST RIDER
20% LIGHTER AND STIFFER PERFORMANCE DACRON
The 125g performance Dacron of the leading edge is alsoused in the strut and further accentuates the superb rigidityin the frame. In combination with the new rigid handles theconnection levels feel like youre part of the wind!Buckling under pressure is now far less of a concern andthe Fluxs pre-loaded leading edge and stiffened strut worksublimely well in partnership with the other design features. Anew, bigger sweet spot in handling will allow you to find morecontrol in stronger conditions, point higher into the wind, reachhigher speeds and also pump with greater efficiency, whichmakes the wings bottom end even more potent.
CARBON FIBER HANDLES WITH EVA GRIP
Ergonomically angled front and back carbon fiberhandles with EVA grip provide maximum control andcomfort with incredible feel and response.The front handle mount features a soft bumper to protectyour head and board during water starts.
FORCE FIELD PERIMETER= PRIME PERFORMANCE FOR LONGER
Positioned specifically where canopy loads are greatest,a new, stronger canopy material on the leading andtrailing edges provides a force field shield around the
central mainsail section.Channeling greater forces and helping to create a cleanerfoil, further advantages are the reduced stretch and the factthat the Flux will maintain a better wing shape overits lifespan.
WHAT YOU FEEL:
Secure, in control, and ready to push it!
Big wind range! Very good power generation in light wind
conditions while being easy to handle in high winds
Less drag and better stability for over-head maneuvers
such as tacks and jibes
Excellent back-winging ability due to tight sail
Excellent racing performance; fast, powerful, max upwind
and downwind angles
Good jumping performance with excellent speed and power
into the boost and lift on the glide down
Super stable with low drag for wave riding
Higher performance, less physical demands
WHY YOU FEEL IT:
High Aspect ratio design with swept leading edge planform
Reduced span in the larger sizes to keep wing tips frominterfering with water surface
Pre-loaded leading edge with optimized sail shaping for atighter canopy
Horizontal canopy panels and adjoining seams optimize load distribution through warp and weft of the material,improving feeling and reducing material stretch
New, stronger canopy material used along the leading and trailing edge to reduce canopy stretch which results in a better shape of the wing over its lifespan
Optimized window position for yours and other riders safety
The leading edge and strut are made from a performanceDacron thats 20% lighter than conventional Dacron
Ergonomically angled, rigid carbon handles with EVA grip
Soft bumper on front handle mount to protect your boardand head
Knuckle-guard on leading edge de-power/surf handle
Lightweight anti-flap fiberglass battens reduce canopy flutteron trailing edge
Ozone have always believed in designing lightness and strength into their paragliders, kites and now wings, to be as efficient in flight as possible. Naturally, the lighter the wing is, the better it will fly. The stronger it is, the longer its performance will last. They avoid adding surplus features or unnecessary cosmetic items to their designs and use top of the line materials put through a rigorous testing program. If you compare the weights of any Ozone kite or wing against the most dedicated light weight specific products produced by their competitors, youll see that all their products are just born light. Even on their entry level designs they dont compromise the handling benefits that airborn products undoubtedly have through being lighter. Combined with cutting edge manufacturing and highly skilled craftspeople, their designs are Born Light; Genetically Strong. Technical, performant, durable and efficient – the lightness and strength is built in.
