Enjoy every session. The Catalyst V5 provides everything you need for quick and natural skill development. Built on the proven V4 planform, it's the progression-focused kite in Ozone's range: stable, durable and easy to ride, with progressive steering that grows with you from your first lessons to your first jumps.
What's New in the V5
- 10 bridle line attachment points on all sizes (previously only on the 14m and 16m) — added frame and canopy stability for an even, confidence-inspiring feel across a broader range of conditions
- Enhanced durability — extra Dacron reinforcements on the sail sections that see the most ground contact during the learning phase
- More arc in the rounder airframe — slightly faster handling for more progressive rider development and fun
Trusted Features for Easy Progression
- Open arc, single-strut design — lightweight with smooth power and great light wind capability to get you up and riding easily
- Wide wind range and progressive depower — comfortable in variable or gusty conditions, with good upwind performance so you spend more time improving
- Simple relaunch — turn the bar or use the relaunch balls on the leader lines and the kite rolls into the relaunch position, even in light wind
- Retracting rear bridle line system — reduces line tangles and adds rear line tension when sheeted out for sharper response to bar input
- Front line flag-out release — when the Click-In Loop is released, the kite flags out to one front line and instantly releases all power
Make Your First Moves
Once you've mastered the basics, you'll be surprised at the Catalyst's jumping capability. Smooth lift with precise feedback makes learning your first boosts easy, and intuitive turning will have you carving confidently in no time.
