2026 Ozone Edge VT Ultra-X Kiteboarding Kite

Edge VT Ultra-X

SUPERCHARGE EVERY BIG AIR SESSION

Sizes: 7m / 8m / 9m / 10m / 11m / 12m / 13m / 15m / 18m

What Ozone has to say:

Forget limits. Normal rules don’t apply here.

This is the next level of tube kite performance. For the biggest jumps and most jaw-dropping hangtime, take a shot of Edge Ultra-X energy. With longer glides and refined handling, sending it big feels smoother, more natural — more you.

Incredibly light, stiff, stable and responsive, we made this for the die-hard Edge lovers who live to go massive, easily – however strong or light the wind.

BUILT ON THE NEW EDGE VT BASE:

Advancing from the Edge V12, the new Edge VT (Version Thirteen) features re-engineered elements of design to elevate speed, control, and feedback.

• NEW PLANFORM WITH A REFINED ARC FOR QUICKER HANDLING AND MORE RESPONSIVE TURNS
• ADJUSTED SAIL TENSIONS—ESPECIALLY IN THE TRAILING EDGE — FOR A TIGHTER, CLEANER CANOPY
• SLIMMER LEADING EDGE FOR REDUCED DRAG AND FASTER FLIGHT
• VORTEX-INSPIRED 16-POINT BRIDLE SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND STABILITY

The result? A more rigid frame, improved feedback and a heightened sense of connection — like you and the kite are one.

Features:

• 4-line Pulley-less System - NO pulleys, NO problems. We design all our inflatable kites without pulleys, to inherit the unique Ozone feeling and performance across our range.
• High Performance Bridle Lines - The NEED for SPEED – High performance Technora bridle lines offer a vast reduction in parasitic drag – the Edge flies fast and accelerates quick enhancing performance and increasing range.
• Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System - The Fast Flow One-Pump Inflation System makes set up and packing quick and easy. It features single point inflation/deflation and a high air flow rate between the Struts and Leading Edge, with clips to seal the hoses to prevent unwanted air flow in case of damage.
• Internal reinforcements - What’s on the inside counts too - we use top of the line materials and strategic internal reinforcements for increased strength and durability.
• Overlap Flat Seams  - Overlap flat seam construction improves sail control resulting in an overall cleaner canopy.
• Load Distribution Panels - Dacron reinforcements are used on all loaded areas for enhanced load distribution. This means all loads are spread evenly into the sail ensuring the kite flies and performs at its best.
• Direct Connect Struts - Our Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Struts and Canopy. Struts are connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal and external reinforcements. This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension.
• Reinforced Leading Edge and Struts - The Leading Edge and Struts are reinforced in high stress areas to ensure the kite canopy remains in shape and performs at its best.
• Low Profile Aerodynamic Scuff Pads - Leading Edge bumpers are often large and unnecessary cosmetic items. At Ozone we build our kites and wings for performance and durability using the best materials & components available. Any areas requiring scuff protection we use a lightweight durable material with superior abrasion resistance, while keeping a low profile in order to reduce drag and maintain performance.
• Unique bladder construction - Our bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.
• Anti-Snag line deflectors - The Anti-Snag line deflectors prevent bridles and lines from tangling around the wing tip. Safety is increased when launching with a partner and water re-launch is made easier.
• Back-line trimming options - Customise your handling and bar pressure with the back line bridle attachments. Closer to the Leading Edge for slower turn speed and more bar pressure, or closer to the Trailing Edge for faster turn speed and less bar pressure.
• Anti-Flap Soft Battens  - Soft Battens strategically positioned along the Trailing Edge provide canopy support and reduce flutter, enhancing kite feedback to the rider and also reducing canopy material wear.
• Tuned Bridle Geometry - We work extensively during our R&D process to develop the size range to feel in tune with each other. Every kite has a unique bridle layout, individually tested and fine-tuned to maximize the feeling and performance.
• Fool proof line connectors - Fool proof line connectors prevent incorrect rigging of the flying lines to the kite.
• Water Kite Technical Bag - Technical Bag with loads of space, Internal stash pocket, External control system pocket, Board straps, Pump holder, Adjustable shoulder straps, Back panel foam padding provides extra comfort

What You Feel:

• Even less drag than the VT, thanks to the added stiffness of Aluula, which has allowed further reduction of the leading edge diameter by an extra 5%
• Sharper response and better efficiency at both ends of the wind range

Ultra-X Stiffness

The Aluula airframe, combined with the solid five-strut design, delivers:

• A kite that’s rock solid in the sky
• Direct, precise control with zero sail deformation — even when it’s nuking
• The confidence to send it whenever, wherever

Designer's View

"The Edge has always been our benchmark for tube kite performance. Now in its 13th iteration with the Edge VT and VT Ultra-X versions, I believe the handling and feel have reached an entirely new level, without sacrificing any of the original Edge DNA. Incorporating tweaks and lessons learned from the Vortex program, the new Edge has gained significant improvements in handling, which we know will add even more fun to your riding experience. I’m confident our loyal Edge riders will appreciate the added agility these VT models deliver!" - DOM ZIMMERMANN, LEAD DESIGNER

Rider's View

"Having so much control over your riding speed makes approaching the perfect kicker far easier, whatever your level. The speed you can achieve with this kite combined with the vertical lift ensures that you go very high. This causes a lot of line tension which provides a lot of control and kite awareness in the air. It’s like it’s programmed to fly, even with basic kite movement.   I haven’t even got close to this kite’s top end yet and I’ve had some massive jumps already. I can’t wait to feel the full potential of this kite! Besides the fact that the low end is amazing, I notice that it can handle the strongest gusts well, and with all that amazing feedback in the air, it’s going to be the ultimate Cape Town weapon this season!" - JINNE BOER, OZONE NETHERLANDS AND INTERNATIONAL BIG AIR COMPETITOR
