Ozone Vortex V2 Ultra-X Kite 2026-2027

The Ozone Vortex V2 Ultra-X is a high-performance big air and kite-loop machine built for riders who want explosive lift, fast turning, huge hangtime and total confidence when sending it. Designed for intermediate to advanced kitesurfers, the Vortex V2 Ultra-X combines the lightweight stiffness of Ozone’s Ultra-X construction with refined handling, powerful forward drive and a reliable catch through aggressive loops.

If you are chasing bigger jumps, cleaner loops, more control in strong wind or a performance kite that still feels predictable when the conditions are serious, the Vortex V2 Ultra-X is built for exactly that. It is fast, direct and powerful, but not twitchy. The kite gives you clear feedback through the bar, helping you know where it is in the sky without constantly needing to look up.

What’s new in the Vortex V2 Ultra-X?

Ozone has refined the Vortex V2 Ultra-X to give it an even more direct feel and tighter control. Reworked canopy tension across each size, combined with a stiffer leading edge, improves feedback and precision. The kite feels locked-in and responsive, giving you a stronger connection between bar input and kite movement.

New anti-flap battens have been positioned on the underside of the canopy with additional reinforcement to help reduce canopy wear and keep the kite performing at a high level for longer. This is especially important for powered big air riding, where the kite is regularly exposed to heavy loading, high speed and aggressive steering input.

Ozone has also improved the larger sizes for light-wind performance. Sizes 10m to 17m now use a lighter 46g double ripstop canopy cloth, reducing weight by up to 150g compared with the previous construction. This helps the bigger Vortex sizes feel more agile and responsive, giving riders stronger jumping performance in lighter wind.

Built for big air, kite loops and serious progression

The Vortex V2 Ultra-X is designed to help riders progress their big air riding with confidence. It delivers the vertical lift and hangtime needed for huge boosts, while its forward drive helps keep the kite moving through loops and prevents it from stalling behind you. That forward drive is what gives the Vortex its dependable catch, allowing you more time to redirect, spot your landing and ride away cleanly.

For riders working towards their first loops, the predictable turning and strong catch make the Vortex V2 Ultra-X a confidence-building platform. For advanced riders pushing mega loops, doubles and powered rotations, the kite has the speed, control and structural stiffness needed for high-load riding.

Ultra-X construction with Aluula performance

The Vortex V2 Ultra-X uses Ozone’s premium Ultra-X construction, combining an Aluula performance airframe with carefully selected canopy materials. The goal is simple: reduce weight, increase stiffness and create a kite that reacts quickly under load.

The Aluula airframe gives the kite a crisp, efficient feel, helping it hold shape when powered. This makes a major difference in gusty wind, loaded take-offs and aggressive loops. Instead of feeling soft or delayed, the Vortex V2 Ultra-X remains direct and composed, giving the rider more control when it matters most.

Lightweight power across the full size range

The Vortex V2 Ultra-X is available in a huge size range from 5m to 17m, giving riders options for everything from stormy high-wind sessions through to lighter wind big-air riding. The smaller sizes, 9m and below, use a stronger triple ripstop 55g canopy cloth for durability when the conditions are heavy. The larger 10m to 17m sizes use lighter 46g double ripstop canopy cloth for improved agility and low-end performance.

The result is a kite range that feels tuned for the job of each size. Smaller sizes are built for strength and control when the wind is nuking, while larger sizes are designed to get you jumping earlier, riding harder and extending your big-air sessions into wind that would normally feel underpowered.

Fast, predictable turning with reliable catch

A big-air kite needs to do more than just jump high. It needs to move cleanly, loop predictably and catch reliably. The Vortex V2 Ultra-X has a high-aspect design with extra arc shape to improve turning response and control through the loop. It grips through the turn rather than sliding or losing connection, giving the rider a smoother and more dependable feeling through powered manoeuvres.

This makes the Vortex especially appealing for riders who want to push their level without feeling like the kite is unpredictable. It turns fast enough for modern kite loops, but its feedback and stability help keep the experience controlled rather than nervous.
