Introducing the REO V7 ULTRA-X – Your Sharpest Wave Riding Tool
Prepare to experience the pinnacle of wave riding with the REO V7 ULTRA-X. It's the next-level wave-specific design that delivers extraordinary performance in the surf. Crafted with high-performance, lightweight materials, this kite offers unmatched responsiveness even at the edge of the wind window, mind-blowing drift, and precise slackline control.
Pure Surfing Freedom
The REO V7 ULTRA-X takes you closer to the pure essence of surfing while riding with a kite. It's ultra-light, ultra-quick, ultra-responsive, and ultra-reliable. This kite empowers you to shred radically in even the most challenging conditions.
Innovative Materials for Unmatched Performance
Our relentless pursuit of excellence led us to introduce different materials into the proven V7 framework. Each material is selected for its stiffness and strength, tailored to its intended use. Much like a carbon fiber road bike, the ULTRA-X demands a rider who appreciates high-performance gear.
The Power of Full Access
Our designers benefit from having 100% access to Ozone's factory, allowing them to experiment with new ideas and create as many prototypes as needed to achieve the perfect feel for our products.
Key Differences of the REO V7 ULTRA-X:
Lighter Weight Performance Dacron: The leading edge is not only 20% lighter than standard 160g dacron but also stiffer. This new 125g performance dacron material guarantees a longer-lasting shape, responsive handling, and a tighter canopy for superior aerodynamic performance.
Lighter Weight Canopy: We use the latest 46g double ripstop Teijin cloth, which is 17% lighter than standard 55g triple ripstop fabric. This weight-saving cloth enhances drift performance while maintaining high strength and durability.
Bridles - Completing the Mission: Our pursuit of greater aerodynamic performance continues with Technora line material for the bridle lines, which is 25% lighter and 25-35% thinner, further reducing drag in all performance aspects.
Beyond Weight: Aerodynamic Performance is Key
While the ULTRA-X is indeed one of the lightest pure wave kites on the market, its primary focus remains on aerodynamic performance. Here's what it brings to the table:
- Enhanced stiffness throughout, resulting in increased drift, reduced nose diving at the edge of the window in radical surf conditions, and lightning-fast, super-crisp responsiveness.
- Outstanding drift performance and responsiveness at the edge of the wind window in slack line situations, catering to those seeking true surf performance.
- Augmented drive and airspeed for an exhilarating wave riding experience.
Beyond the Wave: Versatility in All Conditions
While the REO has always excelled as a pure wave performance machine, both models offer significant advantages for freeride kitefoilers. The V7 Ultra-X, in particular, provides even greater benefits in lighter wind conditions due to its reduced weight.
