The Razor is Ozone's full-race kite

A sleek race profile with a high performance arc creates the fastest kite we've ever designed. By integrating profile technologies learnt from both our kite and paraglider developments, we have built a very high-speed kite that produces low drag when tacking at slower speeds. For the less technically minded, this simply means there is much less chance of being lifted out of your buggy.

A sophisticated inboard braking system, a semi closed leading edge and a high aspect ratio combine to help the Razor deliver smooth power both across the window and through the turn. This is a highly efficient and clean wing designed for ultimate performance.

Just as Ozone's paraglider design has always been driven by the need to make our wings cutting edge yet user friendly, the Razor has also been designed to be accessible to a very wide range of pilot. The Razor delivers direct, smooth handling at very high speeds but with a level of exceptionally user-friendly stability that means all competent kiters will be able to enjoy its turbo charged performance.

The Razor is supplied with rucksack and manual only.

Features

• A high-speed profile to produce low drag (less vertical lift) when the kite is at the top of the window.
• Diagonal cross bracing between the cell walls to fully support the Razor's sail whilst keeping lines to an absolute minimum. Less line = less drag = better performance all round.
• Inboard positioning of brake attachment points allows the sail to fully open for maximum speed. This configuration lets the Razor's power switch on and off in an instant, giving you controlled power through the turn.
• Closed cells in the tips to maintain high pressure within the kite at all times, and to create a very clean aerofoil.
• Dump ports (butt-holes) in the trailing edge of the wing tips to evacuate unwanted sand.
• A Velcro tab on the inside of the centre cell ensures that the (bridles) lines are kept tangle free when packed.
• No external stitching to catch, snag and wear out.
• Built to the same exacting, millimetre accurate standards as Ozone's certified paragliders.
