Let’s Get High! Ozone has taken its legendary Edge kite — the benchmark for big air, freeride power, and upwind performance — and given it a complete performance overhaul. Launching worldwide on 24th September 2025, the Edge VT and Edge VT Ultra-X are built to deliver even more speed, more control, and more hangtime than ever before.
For 18 years, the Edge has been the kite of choice for riders who want to boost higher, fly further, and crank harder upwind than their friends. The new VT and VT Ultra-X versions refine that formula into two models:
-
Edge VT – accessible high-performance, now sharper and more versatile.
-
Edge VT Ultra-X – the ultimate lightweight big air machine for die-hard senders.
Why We Love the Edge
Every Edge session feels good. The kite is famous for:
-
Exciting riding speeds with easy control
-
Explosive lift and gravity-defying hangtime
-
Smooth depower with a massive top end
-
Rock-solid five-strut stability
-
Incredible upwind drive
It’s always been a “rocket ship to Mars.” Now, Ozone has added more gears.
What’s New in the VT Series
Ozone’s design team re-engineered key elements for sharper handling, faster flight, and more precise control:
-
New planform and refined arc – quicker handling, tighter turns.
-
Adjusted sail tension – especially in the trailing edge, for a cleaner canopy and better feedback.
-
Slimmer leading edge – reduced drag, faster flight, more efficiency.
-
Vortex-inspired 16-point bridle system – improved load distribution and rock-solid stability.
The result? More speed, more comfort, and more airtime than ever.
Edge VT – Who’s It For?
The Edge VT is built for riders who want maximum boost, huge hangtime, and epic upwind performance, but still need comfort and control in all conditions. It’s the kite for anyone who wants to go higher and faster than their crew — and smile the whole time doing it.
Rider Timo Becker sums it up:
“The VT is even easier to use and has more lift and unbelievable hangtime. I have so much time in the air for board-offs, enjoying the view, or talking to the camera! Big air has really never been easier.”
Edge VT Ultra-X – The Ultimate Weapon
The Ultra-X takes the VT platform and supercharges it with the finest materials:
-
Full ALUULA five-strut airframe – lighter and stiffer than ever.
-
Even slimmer LE – less drag, more efficiency, sharper handling.
-
Ultra-lightweight canopy – weighs less than most three-strut kites, yet delivers added stability.
-
Direct, precise control – zero sail deformation, even when nuking.
It’s designed for the die-hard Edge fanatics and dedicated big air riders who want to feel the absolute peak of twin-tip freeride performance.
Rider Jinne Boer explains:
“Having so much control over your riding speed makes approaching the perfect kicker so much easier. The speed combined with the vertical lift ensures you go very high. The low end is amazing, and I haven’t even touched the top end yet. It’s going to be the ultimate Cape Town weapon this season!”
Edge VT vs. Vortex – What’s the Difference?
-
Edge VT / Ultra-X: Rock-solid five-strut stability, huge wind range, easier boosting and hangtime, more comfort, and more upwind drive. Perfect for freeriders and anyone who wants to go big with confidence.
-
Vortex: Three-strut frame, twitchier, faster loops, and an aggressive, “always lit” ride. Ideal for riders chasing technical big air progression and tighter loops.
Think of it like an engine:
-
Edge VT – more gears, more range, smoother ride.
-
Vortex – tuned for instant response and aggressive handling.
Key Takeaways
-
Edge VT: More accessible than ever, incredible range, built for everyone who loves to send it.
-
Edge VT Ultra-X: The lightweight big air weapon, made for riders chasing the ultimate performance in extreme conditions.
-
Both are still the same rocket ship to Mars — just faster, sharper, and more fun.
The Bottom Line
With the Edge VT and Edge VT Ultra-X, Ozone has redefined what’s possible in big air and freeride kiting. Whether you’re chasing the biggest boost of your life, a smoother freeride experience, or the confidence to send it in the strongest winds, these kites deliver.
Feel more. Ride faster. Go higher. Fly further.
