Five years ago, OZONE launched the FUSION project. The goal was to combine their manufacturing expertise with their knowledge of foil kite, inflatable kite, paraglider and wingsuit design.
Utilising all the resources of their in-house production facility, the designers collaborated closely with the most experienced technicians and material handlers to elevate aerodynamic performance to new heights.
Features
- INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE FUSION DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
- COMBINING OZONE’S MULTIFACETED AERODYNAMIC KNOWHOW
- EXCEEDINGLY FAST AND DYNAMIC WITH INSANE RANGE
- DEVELOPED FOR RIPPERS LOOKING TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
The new OZONE FUSION freeride wing marks a paradigm shift in performance
Tailored to riders seeking higher speeds, dynamic jump and flight potential along with previously impossible angles up and downwind.
RAM Air Technology, 100% double surface, internal ribs
Our efforts for this project centred around optimal aerofoil design, leading us to the efficient, but difficult to achieve, double surface design. We were left exploring ways to overcome both the structural challenges and the manufacturing intricacies.
Initially, the primary task of being able to find an immediate sense of improved performance and usability remained difficult to deliver…
We remained committed and continued our work. Through innovative construction techniques and the “ram air” principles integral to wingsuits, we’ve achieved a design that presents the wing and kite sector with a revolutionary perspective.
Between the sheets
The Ozone Fusion wing is designed around the high-performance planform of the Flux, including the pre-loaded leading edge, which is made with stiff performance dacron and experiences drastically less deformation in strong conditions.
The 100% double surface ram air design creates an enclosed high pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials when the wing’s angle-of-attack changes.
What you feel
- The superior efficiency of the 100% double surface design along with the culmination of all features on the Fusion wing elevate every element of the riding experience
- Engaged flying feel – this is an aerofoil like nothing you’ve laid your hands on!
- This wing is capable of exceptional upwind and downwind trajectories. As a result it provides unmatched racing performance
- High speed translates into remarkable elevation and airtime that has to be experienced to be believed
- The stiff airframe combined with the pressurised, no-flutter sail gives a smooth ride that’s further accentuated by the carbon handles
- Super smooth power management that becomes more and more potent
- While it’s more demanding to get going, especially in light wind conditions, the benefits of efficiency vastly outweigh the negatives
- You’ll get faster. Due to the reduced drag the wing keeps delivering more power the faster you go
Why you feel it
- High-aspect-ratio design with swept leading edge planform
- Reduced drag due to additional entire lower surface with profile ribs sewn between both layers
- Pre-loaded leading edge with optimised sail shaping for a tighter canopy
- Reduced span in the larger sizes to keep wing tips from interfering with water surface
- Ergonomically angled, rigid carbon handles with EVA grip
- Soft bumper on front handle mount to protect your board and head
- Knuckle-guard on leading edge with de-power handle
