There are Absolutely NO pulleys anywhere on the Ozone Instinct - This means there is no-disconnection or friction between the kite and rider which gives the rider direct feedback/feeling from the kite. Pulleys reduce the feel you get from a kite therefore making it harder for the rider to feel and therefore control the kite instinctively
No ARCH Bridling - you connect your flying lines to the Instinct as with any standard 5-line C-Kite but the difference with the Instinct being the centre line is used as part of the support and trim system of the kite and is not used as part of a safety system at all.
Anti-Invert System - One of the challenges facing designers working on flat designs is their tendency to invert once the kite has crashed onto the water and is laying on its back. Ozone knew this from the start and kept working on different ideas. The solution is a simple idea that not only stops the invert but actually helps the rider to relaunch.
Depower Range - The Instinct is a gust muncher; the short range of the chicken loop length allows the rider to depower with ease and on demand. The bar range from power to full depower is within arms reach and removes the need to have a push through safety as the safety is within the riders normal reach.
Balanced Bar Pressure - The Instinct has the perfect balance, not so light that you can no longer feel the kite and not so hard that it hurts when your back in the office the next day!
Lift - Jumping on the Instinct feels like your flying! Intermediate riders will love how effortless it is to jump and experts will be in orbit with huge grins.
Speed System - Working in harmony with the bar depower is the ability to be able to change the trim speed of the kite (much like a paraglider) without altering the neutral bar position. Unlike other kites Ozone's trim system actually sets the angle of attack and hence the trim-speed of the kite. What this means for the rider is the usable seed range is increased giving both low end power and high end control.
Ozone Instinct Bar - For beginners there is a leash attachment on the back leader lines (O-Shit handles) allowing the kite to flag out when the chickenloop release is pulled. For more advanced riders there is a ring on the back of the chickenloop for the suicide leash (included).
