Ozone V5 Contact Water Bar and Lines
The Ozone Contact Water Bar and Lines is back again with the same ground breaking safety and versatility only with all new comfort, style and tech!
The first of its kind to produce the click-in chicken loop system and a personal favourite of ours here at ATBShop. The Ozone Contact V5 is the flashier version of the previous V4 but comes with all new Eco Lines and a much smoother clam cleat. The V5 also features the very same high end safety systems, ergonomics and technologies that make the Contact so great!
Starting off with what's obvious; the new ergonomic EVA grip is designed for superior handling and reduction of hand fatigue. While other less visibly noticeable changes include a smoother trim line clam cleat that does not need the neoprene cover found on the V4. This reduces the amount of clutter above the bar and operates much nicer than before! To finish off the changes Ozone have used their new Bio-based Dyneema, modular flying lines which come pre-stretched at a rating of 500kg/ 300kg. These lines are of the highest quality Dyneema with a carbon footprint 90% lower than generic HMPE fibre. We keep the 25m line set bars in stock but can also get the bars in other line lengths too on special order.
Innovative Click-In Loop An all-new push-away quick release with an innovative one-step Click-In reload function that is incredibly intuitive. The release handle fits comfortably in the hand, it is quick and easy to activate the release by pushing the handle away. A self-positioning release mechanism locates automatically, ready to be re-loaded by simply ‘clicking’ in the loop. The Click-In Loop is AFNOR NF S52-503 certified.
Two Release Modes The Click-In Loop offers riders a choice of two release modes, the recommended Standard or the optional Expert mode. • Standard mode offers 100% flag out in all situations by releasing the Click-In Loop or letting go of the bar when un-hooked. • Expert mode offers 100% flag out only when the Click-In Loop is released whilst hooked in, allowing riders practicing handle passes to miss the bar without releasing the kite to flag out (not recommended).
Three Loop Size Options Small, Medium and Large size harness loops are available for the Click-In Loop. Choose the Small if you ride hooked in only, have a shorter arm reach or prefer the bar closer to your body. The Medium size is perfect for most riders. The Large size is designed for unhooking or riders with a longer arm reach. The Contact Water Control System ships standard with a Medium size loop.
Spinning Head with Anti-twist Flag Out Line Our custom Stainless Steel Swivel Ring locates into the Click-In Loops rotating internal core. When manually turning the Spinning Head to un-twist front lines, the Flag Out Line rotates in unison with the core keeping all lines twist free.
Soft Bar Ends with Leader Line Adjustment Soft bar ends for comfort and are less likely to damage lightly constructed boards. The leader lines are adjustable via knots inside the float, simply pull out from the opening to access and adjust to your preference.
Stainless Steel Leader Line Pin Superior strength is achieved with a Stainless pin running through the bar. This creates an ultra strong and direct connection between the control bar to flying lines.
Light Weight Aluminium Centre Piece CNC cut Aluminium centre piece reduces weight. The low friction design reduces wear.
New Ergonomic EVA Grip 3D pressed EVA grip with ergonomic shaping provides the ultimate bar grip.
PU Covered De-power Line The tough PU covered de-power line significantly reduces wear when sheeting in and out.
Stainless Steel Trimmer Bracket The smooth running trimmer bracket prevents trim line wear.
Clamcleat Trimmer Anodized low abrasion Clamcleat trimmer with custom designed trim grab handle.
Re-launch Balls Fixed to the leader lines to pull when relaunching the kite.
