The Ozone Edge is an icon. The original big air kite. It is the perfect blend of accessibility and performance. You do not need to be a pro to access the power of the Edge. It rockets upwind, and provides big boosting and hangtime. If you are a serious rider, then the Edge loops delivering huge amounts of power. This latest iteration is all about making that power delivery as soon as possible with the new and improved sail tensioning The Edge V12 stays true to its original remit of delivering adrenaline-fuelled sessions for riders that crave real power, speed and insane lift; the electrifying reasons that so many get bitten by the kiteboarding bug in the first place! The V12 represents the continued development of a genuine kiteboarding icon. Two years after the launch of the V11, the refinements in the V12 will only increase the enjoyment of anyone who already loves the Edge’s unique performance possibilities. If you’re yet to experience the Edge’s powerful personality, there’s never been a better time to jump into the cockpit. The V12’s aerodynamic developments offer even more control and responsive feel for the pilot than ever before. SHRED HARD WITH A WIDER RANGE: The Edge has always provided mind-altering experiences in strong winds, but the advantages of transverse shaping and the V12’s clean and taut canopy profile also deliver sublime experiences for those looking to enjoy powder-like freeriding in lighter conditions, too. EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION: The V12 retains a similar DNA to the V11 with the increased canopy tautness that we have since implemented in the Enduro V4, Reo V7 and Reo V7 Ultra-X thanks to the introduction of transverse sail shaping in the canopy cloth that runs parallel with the leading edge. Less visually obvious, but noticeable in improved bar feel, a pre-loaded leading edge adds additional tension into the canopy which forms a tighter shape, bringing more rigidity and less sail flutter. TRANSVERSE SHAPING & CLEANER, TIGHTER CANOPY: Applying the experience of our paragliding design colleagues, the Edge V12 features an extra seam in the sail running close to the leading edge, which allows for more true 3D shaping. Our primary focus is always centred around aerodynamic performance and the biggest aerodynamic gains come from being able to maintain the cleanest aerofoil and tightest canopy at all times. Searching for as tight a canopy as possible is a continuous journey. Not only have we managed to add more profile curvature through transverse shaping, but we’ve also added more strength in the high lift zone thanks to the extra seams. SMOOTHER RIDING, HIGHER UPWIND ANGLES AND MORE PRECISION: While the overall ride is a smoother sensation, the bar feeling and feedback is now more precise too thanks to canopy flutter having been reduced. The Edge V12 maintains a cleaner sail and increased airfoil performance in all situations, which is especially noticeable when steered hard and fast. The Edge V12 drives further upwind while also retaining more feeling and bar feedback when the kite is at the edge of the window as the canopy luffs later (delaying the point at which the canopy starts to flutter and lose power; increasing range). THE LEGEND CONTINUES: The smooth combination of speed and power will amplify the enjoyment of any freerider looking for the ultimate sensation of escape. In the hands of riders like Jamie Overbeek, however, the Edge is also a verified 36 metre boosting behemoth capable of reaching for the stars.
