REO V7 Ultra-X
- Any wave, anywhere; this is your go-to surf performance kite
- Aimed at good intermediates and beyond. It's faster, smoother and has a bigger range.
WHAT'S NEW ON THE V7?
- New refined design and sail control
- Transverse sail shaping results in a cleaner aerofoil for increased performance
- Reduced drag and more drive through the window
- Smoother handling in gusty conditions
- Improved low end
- Thinner bridles than on V6 for reduced parasitic drag and weight
- Applying new but proven lightweight and stiff performance materials, tested across a three year period, has led to the next evolution in the Reo's stunning legacy.
- Designed for riders searching for ultimate performance. This second model released alongside the Reo V7 is a razor sharp, laser focused wave kite

WHICH REO MODEL IS FOR YOU?
|
 |
The V7 follows the Reo's original path of being the most pure focused wave kite you can buy with exquisite aerodynamic handling that ensures excellent, long-lasting performance. It may surprise you to note that this 'standard' V7 model is still lighter than some of the other available models on the market that are pitched as 'super light’. The strength properties of the lighter weight materials in the Ultra-X are actually higher, but if you regularly kite off a rocky beach then the thicker fabrics of the regular V7 model will handle more abuse. The extra layers of fibre make the V7 more resistant to general scuffing.

|
| We’ve taken things a step further and implemented different materials into the same V7 framework. All materials used in the Ultra-X have been chosen because they’re stiffer and often stronger for the intended use. However, like a carbon fibre road bike, the Ultra-X just requires an appreciation for how to handle high performance gear. High performance levels are borne from the fact that our designers capitalise on having 100% access to Ozone's own factory to try new ideas and then produce as many prototypes as it takes to make products feel just right. |

PRODUCT DETAILS: OUR TIGHTEST CANOPY YET |
There have been many subtle tweaks to stitching lines and panels applied to these designs since the V6 model, but the biggest improvement in canopy tautness has come thanks to transverse sail shaping on the leading edge. More profile curvature |
|
|
1: LIGHTER WEIGHT PERFORMANCE DACRON The leading edge is not only 20% lighter than 160g standard dacron, but is also more rigid. Also used on our new Flux V1 wing, this new 125g performance dacron material guarantees a longer lasting shape but also allows for more responsive handling and a tighter canopy for more aerodynamic performance gains. |
 |
|
|
|
Utilising the weight saving properties of the latest 46g double ripstop Teijin cloth (17% lighter than a 55g standard triple ripstop) further contributes to the increased drift performance in particular. The performance coating ensures high levels of strength and durability at a reduced weight. |
|
|
3: BRIDLES - COMPLETING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE MISSIONAs we continue to discover ever increasing aerodynamic performance, further gains are achieved through the use of a Technora line material for the bridle lines that’s 25% lighter and 25-35% thinner to further reduce drag throughout all areas of performance. |

THE ULTRA-X MAY BE ONE OF THE LIGHTEST PURE WAVE KITES ON THE MARKET... As ever our primary focus was on aerodynamic performance with the following benefits:
|
|
|
While the Reo has always been a pure wave performance machine, both models offer huge advantages for the freeride kitefoiler, too, particularly the V7 Ultra-X which offers even greater lighter wind benefits due to its reduced weight |
