Five years ago, we launched the FUSION project. The goal was to combine our manufacturing expertise with our knowledge of foil kite, inflatable kite, paraglider and wingsuit design.

Utilising all the resources of our in-house production facility, our designers collaborated closely with the most experienced technicians and material handlers to elevate aerodynamic performance to new heights

Fusion has been achieved!

  • INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE FUSION DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
  • COMBINING OZONE’S MULTIFACETED AERODYNAMIC KNOWHOW
  • EXCEEDINGLY FAST AND DYNAMIC WITH INSANE RANGE
  • DEVELOPED FOR RIPPERS LOOKING TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

The new FUSION freeride wing marks a paradigm shift in performance. Tailored to riders seeking higher speeds, dynamic jump and flight potential along with previously impossible angles up and downwind.

CUTTING EDGE PERFORMANCE:

RAM AIR TECHNOLOGY, 100% DOUBLE SURFACE, INTERNAL RIBS

Our efforts for this project centred around optimal aerofoil design, leading us to the efficient, but difficult to achieve, double surface design. We were left exploring ways to overcome both the structural challenges and the manufacturing intricacies.

Initially, the primary task of being able to find an immediate sense of improved performance and usability remained difficult to deliver…

We remained committed and continued our work. Through innovative construction techniques and the “ram air” principles integral to wingsuits, we’ve achieved a design that presents the wing and kite sector with a revolutionary perspective.

BETWEEN THE SHEETS

The Fusion wing is designed around the high-performance planform of the Flux, including the pre-loaded leading edge, which is made with stiff performance dacron and experiences drastically less deformation in strong conditions.

The 100% double surface ram air design creates an enclosed high pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials when the wing’s angle-of-attack changes.

WHAT IS THE BIG ADVANTAGE OF THE DOUBLE SURFACE DESIGN?

A dramatic reduction in drag.

When the air travels over a wing it splits at the stagnation point on the leading edge. While the air that runs along the top surface has a clean and continuous surface to follow, the airflow on the bottom of a single surface wing creates vortices behind the leading edge. This turbulent underside flow creates drag which reduces performance.

Designed with OZ-CAD

The future is now. All Ozone kite and wings are designed with our own highly advanced custom built CAD software that we control and modify with each new product design. Allowing for specifically tailored technical developments, our designers can maximise performance while also minimising waste. 

Factory Ownership Advantage 

Ozone uniquely owns its own factory where all kites, wings, boards, hydrofoils, paragliders, speed wings and accessories are made. Guaranteeing hand checked quality control and the finest materials at every step, there are also excellent working conditions for all 1000 employees. 

Double Surface Design

Double Surface Design

The 100% double surface ram air design creates an enclosed high pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. By completely fairing the lower surface, designing a clean envelope structure and adding ram air inlets, the air pressure created internally helps the upper and lower surface retain positive pressure and tension over its entire area. 

Ram Air Tech

Ram Air Tech

Foil kites and paragliders have been taking advantage of this effect for decades, with the help of ribs it allows to get a proper airfoil shape by creating internal pressure between the upper and lower surface. A well designed ram air envelope will naturally guard against luffing (the moment a canopy starts to flap) and helps support better load distribution throughout the entire sail.

Supporting Internal Rib Structure

Supporting Internal Rib Structure

The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials when the wing’s angle-of-attack changes. Should any water enter inside the wing, mesh panels positioned at the rear of each rib panel allow water to flow through each rib and be expelled via the water drainage holes.

Air Intake Valves

Air Intake Valves

Inspired from wingsuits, they allow air to enter into the internals. They have been specifically designed to keep water out by using a valve system. 

Water Drainage Holes

Water Drainage Holes

In the rare event water does come inside the wing, there are four drainage holes on the trailing edge, two near the strut and two more on the tips. 

Streamlined Tip Junction 

Streamlined Tip Junction 

To maintain smooth aerodynamics where multiple sections are joined at the Fusion tips, the last upper and lower surface panels are split  to connect to the highest and lowest point of the leading edge tube. A closing panel is added to the split trailing edge in order to maintain even pressure inside the internals. 

Lower Surface Zipper

Lower Surface Zipper

To minimise weight, the Fusion has only one zip on the lower surface that allows access to the inflate/deflate valves on the leading edge and strut. It also allows access in order to replace a bladder with no added difficulty compared to a single surface wing. 

Rigid Power Handles

Rigid Power Handles

Ergonomically angled front and back carbon fibre handles with EVA grip provide maximum control and comfort with incredible feel and response. The front handle mount features a soft bumper to protect your head and board during water starts.

20% Lighter and Stiffer Performance Dacron

20% Lighter and Stiffer Performance Dacron

The 125g performance Dacron of the leading edge is also used in the strut. Combined with the new rigid handles, the connection levels feel like you’re part of the wind!

Pre-Loaded Leading Edge

Pre-Loaded Leading Edge

Using a performance Dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leading edge and shape it to experience drastically less deformation under load.

Combined with optimised sail shaping and horizontal panels for a tighter canopy, the Flux delivers huge aerodynamic performance gains.

Reinforced Leading Edge and Strut

Reinforced Leading Edge and Strut

The Leading Edge and Struts are reinforced in high stress areas to ensure the kite canopy remains in shape and performs at its best.

Internal reinforcements

Internal reinforcements

What’s on the inside counts too – internal reinforcements for improved strength and durability; such as a Double layered Dacron + Insignia taped Leading Edge closing seam with high strength threads.

Direct Connect Strut

Direct Connect Strut

Our Direct Connect construction method improves load distribution between the Leading Edge, Strut and Canopy. The Strut is connected directly to the Leading Edge with internal and external reinforcements. This unique construction method ensures clean profiles are maintained with the optimum canopy tension.

Overlap Flat Seams

Overlap Flat Seams

Overlap flat seam construction improves sail control resulting in an overall cleaner canopy.

Fast Flow Air Valves

Fast Flow Air Valves

Fast Flow Air Valves on both the Leading Edge and Strut makes inflation, deflation and packing a breeze.

Unique bladder construction

Unique bladder construction

Our bladders are constructed in-house with advanced custom built welding machines. Double layered sections are applied to any potential wear areas.

De-power/Surf Handle

De-power/Surf Handle

The De-Power/Surf Handle at the front of the Leading Edge offers increased control when flying the wing single-handed and features a soft knuckle padding for extra comfort.
