Ozone Vortex V2 Ultra-X | Kite

The Ozone Vortex V2 Ultra-X is a big air kite designed for riders who want fast, predictable turning, strong forward drive, and a catch you can rely on when loops get serious. Part of the Ozone range, it delivers a clean, confidence-building feel with instant response that stays controlled rather than twitchy, making it ideal for intermediates stepping into loops and advanced riders pushing bigger combinations.

Blending powerful lift and hangtime with rapid handling, the Vortex V2 lets you send hard, commit to powered loops, and still set up for a controlled landing. Its forward drive keeps the kite moving through the window, helping prevent stalls and giving you the time and stability needed to spot your landing.

Who It's For

• Discipline: Big air, freeride, kite loops
• Level: Intermediate to advanced
• Best for: Riders progressing into loops or pushing higher, more technical big air with a predictable kite

Key Features

• Fast, predictable turning – makes it easier to time jumps and loops with confidence
• Strong forward drive – keeps the kite flying through the window for better control and a reliable catch
• High lift and hangtime – solid boost with enough float to set up landings properly
• Refined canopy tension – improves feedback and stability so you always know where the kite is
• Stiffer leading edge – adds precision and control, especially in powered conditions
• Updated 16-point bridle – enhances depower and smooths overall handling

Real-World Feel

The Vortex V2 Ultra-X feels fast, direct and composed. It reacts instantly when you steer, but never feels nervous or unpredictable. Compared to more locked-in five-strut big air kites, it offers a more dynamic and responsive ride while still keeping the stability you need when sending big jumps or looping hard. The catch is reliable and confidence-inspiring, which is exactly what you want when progressing your loops.

Setup / Fit

Larger sizes (10m–17m) use a lighter double ripstop canopy to reduce weight and keep handling agile, while smaller sizes (9m and below) use a heavier triple ripstop canopy for added strength in stronger winds. It's best paired with a standard freeride or big air bar setup and suits riders on twintips looking to push progression.

Pairs Well With

Most riders will need a control bar compatible with Ozone's four-line system, plus a twintip board for a complete big-air setup.

Why We Stock It

The Vortex V2 Ultra-X stands out because it balances performance with predictability. It gives you the speed and responsiveness needed for modern big air riding, but keeps the control and consistency that help riders actually progress. For anyone working on loops or looking to push their jumping without switching to a full competition kite, it hits a really useful middle ground.
