When Ozone drops a new version of their twin tips, it always makes noise in the kite community. The Torque V4 and the Code V4 are two solid boards with very different personalities — but both deliver that smooth, responsive Ozone feel. If you’re torn between them, here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose the right one for your style.
1. Riding Focus
Code V4
The Code has earned its reputation as the “one-board quiver.” It’s designed to perform in a wide range of conditions — flatwater, chop, small waves — making it an easy pick for everyday sessions. Its forgiving flex and balanced rocker give it a smooth, comfortable ride without sacrificing performance.
Torque V4
The Torque is aimed at riders who want a more aggressive, performance-oriented board. It’s built for freestyle, big air and powered riding — with more rocker and a refined quad concave hull for explosive pop and edge control. It’s not just a freestyle stick though — the V4 update brought extra comfort and smoothness to handle rougher water too.
2. Design & Performance Highlights
| Feature | Code V4 | Torque V4 |
|---|---|---|
| Rocker / Flex | Moderate rocker, medium flex — ideal for control in chop. | Increased rocker for softer landings and more control. |
| Construction | Hybrid layup with fiberglass and carbon reinforcements. | Hybrid layup with extra stiffness for aggressive edging. |
| Hull / Outline | Double concave with tri-spine channels and swallow tips. | Refined quad concave for speed, grip, and explosive pop. |
| Spray & Tips | Swallow tips reduce spray and keep it playful. | Narrow tips help cut spray at high speed and improve vision. |
3. On-Water Feel
Code V4
Smooth, forgiving, and confidence-inspiring. The Code is a fantastic all-round board, especially in chop and variable conditions. It carves easily, delivers clean takeoffs, and absorbs landings nicely — perfect if you want a board that adapts to you, not the other way around.
Torque V4
Powerful, grippy, and responsive. The Torque is made to edge hard and load up for explosive boosts, but with enough refinement to stay smooth through rough water. Riders love its ability to hold power without feeling harsh.
4. Who Should Ride What?
Choose Code V4 if you want:
- Versatility
- Comfort in chop and mixed conditions
- A board that performs well for freeride, boosting and progression
Choose Torque V4 if you want:
- More aggressive performance
- Big air & freestyle potential
- Powerful pop and precise edge control
Final Thoughts
Both boards are top-tier Ozone designs — the difference is in their personality.
Code V4 is your go-to if you want a do-it-all board that’s smooth, fun, and easy to ride in any condition.
Torque V4 is for riders who want to push harder, go bigger, and get every ounce of performance out of their board.
