OzOne POwer r&DWe at Ozone have invested over a decade of intense R&D into paramotor wing and paraglider design. The Ozone Performance Project is now in its 5th year, and has yielded some of the highest performing paramotor wings and paragliders in the world. With World, European, and countless National Championship titles to our credit in PPG and Free Flight, our passion for flight gains strength and momentum with each passing year.

Our mission with Ozone Power is to continue to deliver legendary performance to the PPG community. And by performance, we mean True Performance, which is more than just numbers or top speed. True Performance is an overall quality, and a balance of ideals. A wing with the highest speed isn’t fun to fly unless the handling is precise, or if it’s difficult to launch, or if it doesn’t turn tight when you need it to. We invite you to experience the easy speed, agility, and stability of Ozone Power wings. We think that you will feel the difference, and we hope it will change your flying life!

Start Your EnginE… The Indy has evolved from our Mojo series, which is now very popular in the EN A category. It has proven to be a solid, stable, and easy glider for beginning paramotor pilots. With ultimate ease of inflation, simple ground-handling characteristics and uncompromising in-flight passive safety, the Indy is the perfect choice for your first flights.

The Indy has long brake travel and the handling is direct while still remaining forgiving enough for beginners and low airtime pilots. The progressive nature of the Indy’s handling makes for great turning behavifour with or without weight-shift; this is an ideal characteristic in a ppg wing. High stability in pitch and roll creates an overall feeling of comfort and safety in flight. However, the Indy does provide sufficient feedback in a comfortable and subtle manner, which is important for every pilot’s progression. The excellent sink rate and speed enables fuel efficient powered flight and good performance when free flying.

The Ozone Roadster and Indy are two of the first wings to pass the tests necessary for the DMSV certification. We are pleased to announce that the Indy M has received DMSV A: DMSV-MS-5008-08. The Indy is also certified EN A / LTF 1, making it one of the most thoroughly tested wings available today.

ozonE PowEr riSErSThe Indy is supplied with Ozone Power risers. These risers have trim tabs to adjust cruise speed during powered flight. The trim tabs must be locked into the normal position for free flight. Ozone power risers have two hang point positions; the lower one is for free flight and for low hang-point power harnesses, and the higher loop is for high hang point motor units.

Warning: Trimmers are for paramotor use only. For valid LTF and EN certification you must attach the harness to the riser’s lower hang point and lock the trim tabs to the carabiner (in slow position) using the metal ring. Un-powered flight using the trimmers voids the glider’s certification and is not recommended.

The Rush Power is a well proven intermediate paramotor wing that flies equally well unpowered. Since its release many pilots around the world have trusted its ease of use both with and without motor, in a wide variety of conditions and flying sites. The Rush Power sits in the range between the Indy and Roadster, and has EN B (LTF 1-2) and DULV certification. With a reflex-free profile, the Rush Power has a very efficient sink rate, and is highly agile. For more info or to order this wing, please speak with your Ozone Dealer.

thE EaSY CruiSErThe Roadster was created for a wide range of beginner-intermediate paramotor pilots, ranging from XC distance fliers to ground skimmers and adventure pilots. It is a paramotor specific glider, with a semi-reflex profile and a very high ease of use for pilots who want a reassuring amount of stability and a good cruising speed. The Roadster’s OZRP Technology (Ozone Reflex Profile) means that it is more stable in accelerated flight than a normal free-flight wing.

Special attention was put into the launching characteristics of the Roadster. The inflation is smooth and constant in any wind speed, and the wing comes up directly overhead without shooting in high winds or lagging behind in no wind, all of which means that your time will be spent enjoying your flight, not struggling with your launch.

The Roadster can also be flown without a motor. Its sink rate is low enough to soar in light lift, thermal in all conditions, and fly cross country. Although it is designed for pilots who fly majority (if not exclusively) under power, the Roadster performs excellently unpowered as well.

We hope that pilots will appreciate the easy launches, stable flights, and the high top speeds of this wing, which is designed to allow you to enjoy the flight without worrying about your wing.

The Ozone Roadster and Indy are two of the first wings to pass the tests necessary for the DMSV certification. We are pleased to announce that the Roadster M has received DMSV B: (without accelerator) DMSV-MS-5009-08. The Roadster is also certified EN C with accelerator.

MaxiMuM SPEEd and aCCESSibilitYThe Speedster is an all new reflex Paramotor Wing developed from the Ozone Performance Project R&D program. In addition to a highly focused effort between the Ozone R&D Team and former World, European, and multi-national Champion, Mathieu Rouanet, the development of the Speedster was guided by feedback from paramotor pilots all over the world – feedback from you. It seems that you want what we want – a very fast, stable wing that retains a good level of agility and passive safety.

The Speedster’s evolution took time, and a large number of prototypes. As the BBHPP and R10 projects progressed so did the Speedster. The final result is, we think, an exciting new wing for PPG pilots from intermediate to expert ability.

In Paramotor flying, speed is key. Unfortunately, as the amount of reflex increases in a wing, certain other parameters suffer: namely, ease of launch, quality of handling, fuel efficiency, and passive safety. Those categories, for us, are extremely important in any wing and are not to be compromised. Therefore, perfecting these characteristics while retaining a very high top speed was our mission with the development of the Speedster.

SpeedEvery size of the Speedster is fast, as the design parameters have been scaled perfectly from the smallest to the largest size. In smooth conditions, a large trim range allows you to easily cruise at high speeds without the accelerator system engaged. However, when it’s time to pass your friends, super smooth Ronstan pulleys and a carefully calibrated 3 riser speed system accelerates the Speedster without deforming the profile, unlike other PPG wings. This means that, in trimmed and accelerated positions, the Speedster stands in a class of its own in terms of efficiency, handling, and passive safety.

LaunchThe Speedster is the easiest fully reflexed wing that we have ever launched. Leading edge reinforcements in the style of the BBHPP and R10 maintain the structure of the leading edge during the launch process, aiding inflation and causing the wing to come up in a compact and coordinated configuration. The Speedster inflates evenly and with little effort in no wind conditions, and comes up steadily in high wind conditions as well.

handLingAt Ozone, handling is a top priority for us in every wing that we design, from our most basic school wing to our highest performance competition wing. Handling is not just for fun, it’s a safety issue as well. Many paramotor wings are designed to exploit the byproducts of a reflex design, and as a result can be sluggish and unresponsive, or prone to asymmetric stall. Thousands of hours of testing and refinement have resulted in the Speedster’s agile and responsive handling. Handling is safety: when flying in groups, near terrain, or while maneuvering close to the ground, it is crucial that your wing responds quickly and easily while providing usable feedback to the pilot. The Speedster has the agility you need to excel in PPG flight.

StabiLityIt is possible to use the Speedster’s accelerator system in combination with the trimmer system, too. This configuration puts the Speedster profile into a very low angle of attack for high speed flight and should, of course, only be used in extremely calm conditions. As with any PPG wing, for the safest flight configuration the speed bar should be used primarily, followed by the trimmers. However, experienced pilots can fly the Speedster safely in whatever configuration they prefer.

tip SteeringThe Ozone PPG Tip Steering system allows you to control your wing in an accelerated position safely and effectively, without the use of brakes. Using brakes in highly accelerated positions is not ideal as it can counteract the reflex action in the wing and reduce the stability of the profile. The Speedster’s tip steering system is simple, efficient, and easy to use. A clean and convenient ‘closed’ steering system for the brakes and tip steering keeps your controls organized as you switch between them in flight and during launch and landing.

It has taken us some time, but we think we now have something that you’re going to like. Our testing suggests that this new wing is a real pleasure to fly, with a surprisingly high top speed and a general ease of use that will appeal to paramotor pilots of intermediate to advanced ability.

*Speedster 19m: The Speedster is now available in a 19m size (Load Test Only) for expert pilots who need maximum speed and agility. The 19m Speedster is meant for experienced PPG pilots who are looking for a quick, agile wing with a high top speed. The 19m size retains all of the positive launch and handling characteristics of the larger sizes, with good comfort and stability in flight.

Ozone Team Pilot, Mathieu Rouanet, says: “The Speedster is currently my wing of choice for most days of flying. It has excellent speed - it’s the fastest PPG wing that I have flown - but at the same time it has great agility and an easy launch. So it is a perfect blend of reflex stability, high speed, and Ozone ease of use.”

EffiCiEnCY / SPEEd / ManoEuvrabilitYThe Viper series offers a world champion paramotor wing for expert pilots who fly in high level competitions and make advanced XC flights.

The Viper set the standard in the new millennium of PPG competition with World Championship, European, and National Titles and is doubtless the most successful competition wing of its time. Now, the Viper 2 is available with increased top speed, a better glide ratio, and EN certification. The central mission of the Viper 2 development was to not only improve every aspect of the Viper, but to get it into a wing that is certified EN C. The first thing PPG pilots will notice is that the Viper 2 does not launch like a reflex wing… that is to say, it launches easily, inflating and rising over the pilot with incredible efficiency. In flight, the Viper 2 is considerably more comfortable than the original Viper with increased passive safety and agile, yet not overly-dynamic, handling. The speed and glide of the Viper 2 must be experienced (or seen) to be believed, and are superior by any comparison.

A special tip-steering system allows pilots to control the wing via the outer edges of the trailing edge at the wingtips while flying in accelerated modes. This allows for a safer and more efficient turn than when using the normal brakes.

The Viper 2 is at the absolute top of the ‘Reflex’ wing class, with an unbeatable combination of efficiency, speed, and safety. Reflex speed and free flight efficiency of the Viper 2, combined with passive safety and certification is an achievement that is attainable thanks to more than a decade of paraglider design and testing.

Ozone’s experience in ram-air wing design and testing is almost unparalleled in the PPG world, and the Viper 2 is a perfect example, giving what we hope you will find is a stunningly high performance PPG wing. Get a demo to see what you think.

now available in 20m size: The Viper 2 20m is a scaled down version of the normal Viper 2. It is not certified (load test only) and is meant for expert pilots only. This 20m size has long been a favorite of Mathieu Rouanet for playful and fast PPG flying, and we are now making it widely available for qualified pilots. Please speak with your local Ozone Dealer if you feel that you are qualified to fly this wing

CoMing in 2012...Development at Ozone is a continuous process which is not governed by seasons or calendar years. We strive to continually update our range and improve our products, and we release new products only when they are finished and perfected – not before, and not after.

Please follow us on Facebook and our RSS feeds at www.flyozone.com to keep up to date with the newest Ozone gear.

In 2012, the adventure continues, for us and for you. Here’s to longer, safer, and more comfortable flights! Cheers from all the Ozone Team.

We have a full line of accessories to keep you warm, cool, to carry your stuff, and replace your parts. Check out all of the latest accessories in the Ozone Webshop at www.flyozone.com that are available from your local Ozone dealer.

The Saucisse pack is designed to make the packing and storage of your Ozone wing an easy task. Using the Saucisse, you can quickly and easily accordion fold your wing. This is crucial for retaining the shape of the leading edge of your wing, particularly if your wing features plastic leading edge reinforcements. The Saucisse is available as an option to add to your glider order from your local Ozone Dealer.

A lightweight, low fat version of the Saucisse. We hope it will satisfy the pilots who find the normal Saucisse to be a bit heavy. The main saving is made by using buckles rather than a long zip. Only available in one size: This means it’s not for some larger wings with thicker chords.
