Ozone C4 2012

The C4 is in its third round! Ozone has received feedback for the Ozone C4 2011. Riders claimed that the freestyle performances were overwhelmingly while Ozone decided to keep the new version pretty much similar – except for some small improvements.

The wakestyle and freestyle features is actually further developed and thus distinguishes the 2012 Ozone C4from the 2011 model. Apart from bringing the 2012 C4 a new fresh design.

Each size of the C4 has been individually optimized. The small sizes have become a little slower and the larger sizes have gained more agility, allowing Ozone C4 improved features and a better low end for the large sizes.

The variable bridle geometry is maintained in 2012. It is characterized by two different trim options, and thus two different “feel”. One for grunt and freestyle version and one for freeriding. The system is very simple, there are no attachment points and it takes an average of 20 seconds to adjust the bridle pigtail by pushing it up or down in order to change the feel of the kite.

The C 4 2012 comes with a new “school setting”, which is a little heavier and which gives a more direct bar feel. The kite is held in this setting when unhooking and position the kite a bit deeper in the wind window, enabling more powerful load up and more pop – perfect for new school, and wakestyle. For this setting the pigtail will be tied as long as possible to the middle bridle.

The freeride setting is characterized by a lighter bar feel and greater depower capacity, perfect in the waves or for just cruising. For this setting, the pigtail is positioned as close as possible the attachment point on the leading edge.
