SPEED WINGS

Inspired by Nature, DRIVEN BY THE ELEMENTS. The Ozone line of speed wings continues to grow, with exciting new innovations across our range. The Ozone R&D Team has been hard at work perfecting exciting new wings, and refining our existing range, elevating performance and safety in every category. Every wing we build, from beginner to competition, is created with an equal amount of care and passion for our sport and for our pilots. Team Ozone The Dream Team Nonstop Innovation SharkNose Technology Ozone Tech Systems Adventure has been at the very heart of what we do since 1998. For over...

THE OZONE TEAM WE fly 365 days a year From the icy peaks of the Tien Shan Mountains to the tropical coastline of South America, Ozone Team Pilots fly every single day of the year. It’s our life and our passion, and we’re grateful to be able to share it with you.

The Dream Team Since Ozone began in 1998, we have dreamed of becoming a “whole” paragliding company, in the realest sense of the word. We have striven to create not only the best paragliding products, but also to create them in the best way possible. At the core of this is our R&D Team. Luc, Dav, Russ, Fred, and Erich (Erich is the creative mind behind some of our newest harnesses) all provide design input, exhaustively test everything we make, and work together to perfect every product that we launch. Our on-going mission is to maintain the synergistic relationship between our own lovingly...

The 2015 range contains some exciting new developments in design and materials technology, including an expanded use of the patented Ozone SharkNose and continued progress in super-low-drag line plans and enhanced performance profiles. The “True Performance” of our wings continues to evolve, with ever improved usability and ease of use in real XC conditions. We’ve also put our extensive materials knowledge to use in heretofore unseen ways, as in the F*Lite harness featuring a Dyneema thread suspension system. Innovation is our passion... and nothing turns us on more than a creative idea...

OZONE TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS Technology is the future, there is no doubt. But what is the difference between technology and gimmicks? The answer is marketing. We spend more of our time testing and designing wings than we do marketing them. We just prefer it that way. The hard truth is that the most important features in a wing are invisible. Sail tension, for instance, has a massive effect on performance and handling at every point of your glider’s flight range. But you can’t touch it with your fingers, or point to it in a photo. The amount of internal construction (and thus weight) affects...

The new Zero is the most precise and compact mini-wing that we have ever flown. This advanced mini-wing design was more than two years in the making, and is based on what we have learned through the development of our smaller-sized mountain gliders and also the technological advances we have made in the Ozone Performance Project. The Zero is the only mini-wing that features the patented Ozone SharkNose technology. The SharkNose provides enhanced stability at low angles of attack (accelerated flight) and also high angles of attack (slow speed flight, thermalling). In addition, it provides a...

FIREFLY 2 The new Firefly 2 is a direct evolution of its predecessor. Our mission with the Firefly 2 was to improve several key characteristics while still retaining the excellent stability and user-friendliness of the original. The first and most noticeable improvement is to the launch; the Firefly 2 comes up at a smoother and more progressive rate, making no-wind launches far easier. In high winds, the wing still has no tendency to overshoot, and is very easy to control and ground-handle. The core philosophy of the Firefly 2 remains the same: performance that will match many “mini-wings”,...

FAZER 2 The original Fazer set performance benchmarks as a speedwing that performs equally well in winter speed-riding environments (ski-launch) and summer foot-launched flight. The new Fazer 2 retains all of the same characteristics, with some very tangible and crucial improvements. This wing is a serious upgrade from its predecessor. The Fazer series offers modern speed riding and speed flying pilots the ultimate combination of speed, precision, and performance. The Fazer 2 now features an updated profile, which allows for a wider range of flight. The Fazer 2 flies steeper and faster than...

RAPIDO As speed flying and speed riding wings have evolved, so has pilot skill, experience, and methodology. The Rapido is a new design for pilots who are pushing the limits of steep carving flights, low barrel rolls, and long swoops. With a slightly higher aspect ratio and a more dynamic and agile character than the Fazer series, the Rapido is designed specifically for experienced speed flying pilots. A wider glide range and a higher trim speed and wider acceleration window set this wing apart from the other speed wings in our range. FEATURES (Compared to Fazer Series): •• Increased trim...

AIM SPEED FLYING / SPEED RIDING This harness is designed by pro skiers and pro pilots specifically for the new sport of Speed Flying, with a special focus on the best configuration for transitioning from skiing to flying positions. other speed flying harnesses boast gimmicks and cute features, but neglect the most essential points: the body and leg position needed to effectively move from the ideal ski position to a comfortable seated flying position. The OZO is an extremely light-weight reversible harness / backpack and is a perfect complement to the XXLite and Ultralite series. With the...
