Ideal first foil kite that also delivers versatile snowkite performance
True cross-over use with easy handling and exceptional stability
Convertible modes: closed cell 4-line / open cell 5-line
Offers great value with a premium foil kite design
HANDLING
Lighter bar feel for less fatigue on long sessions
Reduced aspect-ratio delivers faster, tighter and more reactive turning
Quick and easy water relaunch in closed cell 4-line mode
Safe, instant depower for self-landing on snow in open cell 5-line mode
PERFECT FOR
First foil kite for intermediate kitesurfers on water
Riders who desire sportier turning on snow or water
The V4 has been improved throughout, with lighter bar feeling and reduced aspect-ratio to make it faster and more nippy in its steering.
For kiters who are used to the handling feel of an inflatable kite, the Hyperlink V4?s similar steering performance makes it the obvious choice when transitioning to using a foil kite.
The Hyperlink V4 covers almost every aspect of kiting. Freeride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked as well as backcountry snow missions; it delivers for all!

PERFECT FOR YOUR QUIVER
The Hyperlink may not be as fast as your inflatable kite, but the way it moves and turns will feel more familiar than other foil kites.
By adding the Hyperlink V4 to your quiver you?ll enjoy incredible stability, light wind power and cross-over performance. The familiar handling feel will keep your adjustment time to a minimum, meaning you?ll be having more fun, more quickly.
PERFECT FOR YOUR QUIVER
"Thanks to the multi-purpose design brief it takes us from riding twin tips and foils on water, to the highest peaks in the mountains on snow and anywhere in between. We found the V3 could fatigue your arms on long days in the mountains, so we worked on reducing the bar pressure and steering forces while also increasing the turning speed.
The V4 is now more fun on snow as it nicely accelerates through the loops, is extremely stable while offering great depower. Oh, and it glides pretty well too! On water, the increased handling makes it more fun and easier to send for big jumps." - DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE HEAD KITE DESIGNER
MORE DYNAMIC HANDLING
The V4 incorporates Ozone?s signature Transverse Sail Shaping, ensuring a smoother aerodynamic profile and reducing air turbulence. The kite?s upper and lower surfaces are constructed from durable, lightweight, double rip-stop nylon with a water-shedding coating for improved aerodynamics and relaunch.
An optimised internal structure, with diagonal ribs and span-wise straps, ensures the profile maintains its shape under load, allowing consistent performance across all conditions.
4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODE
The Hyperlink comes standard in 4-line Closed Cell Mode, which is recommended when using the kite on the water. It uses the same front line flag out safety system as our inflatable 4-line kites.
After pre-inflating the kite on the ground, the kite fully inflates itself in the air, offering responsive, intuitive steering that feels similar to an inflatable. This has been the hallmark of the Hyperlink range and why, for many, it?s the perfect first foil kite.
The new V4 model handles even faster and with more freeride and jumping capabilities, bringing it even closer to the feel of an inflatable kite.
RELAUNCH
Relaunch is also quick and easy in closed cell mode as water is kept out of the cells. To relaunch the Hyperlink just pull one line, using the relaunch ball and / or brake handle on the back leader lines.
4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODE
The Hyperlink comes standard in 4-line Closed Cell Mode, which is recommended
5-LINE OPEN CELL MODE
For safety, 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land. Due to the valves being open, inflation is also quicker.
Paired with the optional 5th line Internal Re-Ride Release System it allows for instant depower and safe self-landing, making it perfect for adventurous snowkiters. Simply relaunch again when you?re rested and ready to go again.
5-LINE OPEN CELL MODE
For safety, 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land
HYPERLINK V4 Vs. CHRONO V5
ON THE WATER
Using the Hyperlink in closed cell 4-line mode (as recommended for use on the water), the Hyperlink V4 doesn?t shoot as far forward in the window as the Chrono. With its higher aspect-ratio design the Chrono?s airspeed is also faster, so it?s capable of producing greater board speed and boosting height, but it?s slower in its turning and wider in its arc.
If you're familiar with our inflatable kite range, think of the Hyperlink like the Enduro and the Chrono more like the Edge. The Hyperlink is more of an all-rounder, turning tighter and easier. Generally, it is more easy-going and has an excellent relaunch.
In gusty winds, or if you're overpowered, the Hyperlink V4 will also feel more stable.
The Chrono is the racier model and takes a little more technical foil kite know-how to handle it.
For freeride twin-tip and hydrofoil riding the Hyperlink V4 feels very intuitive. If you have some foil kite experience and are looking to ride your hydrofoil at speed, or push the biggest hang-times on your twin-tip, you should look at the Chrono for its fly and glide performance.
