REO V8 ULTRA-X: THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE BOX
- Focus fully on the wave, not the kite, thanks to insane drift
- Power exactly when you need it
- Incredible power shut off
- Light input and pinpoint steering let you rip on instinct, burning less energy
Drifting exactly where you need it and reacting to your every move, the Reo V8 Ultra-X lets you forget the kite and ride the wave.
ONE REO
Since 2012 the Reo has been the benchmark for pure wave riding. In its eighth generation there is one Reo: the Ultra-X. A transversely shaped canopy on a three strut airframe, built from ultra light materials, gives huge drift and super crisp response. A tight canopy, light and balanced bar forces, fast loops and low aspect ratio 4m and 5m sizes make it balanced, responsive and easy on the arms, session after session.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Intermediate to expert riders dedicated to wave riding on a surfboard, and freeride foilers looking for a light, responsive kite. It isn't designed for big air, freestyle or racing, and it isn't a beginner's kite.
WHAT'S NEW ON THE V8
- Tighter canopy: increased canopy tension for less flap, a more direct feel and reduced trailing edge flutter when de-powered
- Lighter, better balanced bar: sheeting and steering forces are better balanced and slightly reduced, for less fatigue on long sessions
- Tighter, faster loops: turns tighter through a loop with significantly less bar resistance, then accelerates out fast
- Low aspect ratio 4m and 5m: more range, better feel through the de-power throw, more low end grunt and balanced handling
- Same proven Ultra-X materials: 125g performance Dacron airframe and 46g double ripstop Teijin canopy
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Ride the wave, not the kite: the Ultra-X frame holds its position at the edge of the window when your lines go slack, so you can focus on your line
- Massive de-power in offshore winds, so you don't get pulled off the wave
- Longer sessions, less fatigue thanks to light, balanced sheeting and steering forces
- More days on the water: a wide wind range, Onshore and Offshore bridle settings and excellent freeride foiling performance
- Confidence when it gets serious: quick relaunch in the white water and steady flying at the edge of the window
ULTRA-X MATERIALS
The Leading Edge and struts use a 125g performance Dacron that is 20% lighter than 160g standard Dacron, for a long lasting shape and crisp, responsive handling. The canopy is 46g double ripstop Teijin cloth, 17% lighter than a 55g standard triple ripstop, which boosts drift in particular. Its performance coating keeps it strong and durable.
TRANSVERSE SAIL SHAPING
Transverse sail shaping and an extra seam near the Leading Edge, borrowed from Ozone's paragliding designers, give true 3D shaping, deep profile curvature and strength in the high lift zone.
DESIGNER'S PERSPECTIVE
"We've kept the much-loved Reo flying characteristics while making it lighter and more enjoyable to fly actively. The Reo V8 Ultra-X turns slightly tighter, with significantly less resistance through the bar. We also increased canopy tension to reduce trailing-edge flutter when the kite is de-powered. The result is a more balanced, responsive and less tiring Reo."
Dom Zimmermann, Ozone lead kite designer
