Description
Overview
Offering Vortex possibilities with everyday accessibility, the Reflex is ready for any type of session. Escape to the water with effortless freedom, or fully commit and discover your inner extreme athlete. Come alive in the elements and let your instincts fly.
The Reflex V1 is Ozone's all-new performance freeride kite — a Vortex-inspired shape on a durable Dacron airframe that delivers fast, instinctive handling with the toughness to take heavy everyday use. As a rider-owned shop we stock Ozone because the build quality and on-water feel speak for themselves.

Who's it for?
Anyone who wants the thrill of kitesurfing with as little complication and as much progression as possible. The Reflex is built tough for heavy use and suits everyone from complete beginners through to advanced riders. The primary design focus is twin-tip big-air performance, but the Reflex's tighter turns and softer feel also make it an excellent cross-discipline kite for wave and foil sessions.

Reflex vs Vortex
| Reflex | Vortex | |
|---|---|---|
| Airframe | 3-strut Dacron — more hard-wearing with a softer, more accessible ride feel | 3-strut Aluula — stiffer, sharper, constantly switched-on feel |
| Aspect ratio | Lower aspect ratio for more low-end power (still a relatively high-aspect design) | Higher aspect ratio for faster forward flight and more top-end performance |
| Turning | More material twist under load — turns more tightly through a loop with less power | Ultra-stiff frame — more drive and pull through a slightly wider loop; extreme stability across the full wind range |
| Ideal for | Beginner to Advanced | Intermediate to Pro |
