Ozone – Turbo Bar

March 19th, 2009

It looks like Ozone have been busy designing new control systems, as well as Kites. It has been a while since we have seen some innovative control systems, Ozone have aimed for those who fly on handles but want a bar. Though it should work with any 4 line fixed bridle.

Here is some of the blurb:

Ozone Turbo Bar

The all new Ozone Turbo Bar is designed to work on any 4 Line fix bridle line kite. For kites that are usually flown on 4-Line Handles, the Turbo Bar works in perfect harmony and with full control. The turning speed increases radically while you’re also able to pull the brakes generating more power from the kite.

Ideal for landboarders, snowkiters and buggiers who love both speed and control. Freestyle buggiers and landboarders love the Turbo bar as the increase in turning velocity matches the constant control over the kite in jumps.
