Description

Ozone EXP Kite - great for land or snow.

Overview

Go further than ever with unmatched speed, range, and control
The ultimate high-level open-cell foil kite
Industry-leading internal re-ride release system
Engineered for extreme expeditions and advanced riders

The EXP V2 turns faster and tighter, delivering even more rider feedback.

Lighter than the V1, the V2 launches and flies more easily in very low wind – an advantage whether you’re in Antarctica or just want to avoid walking the last 500 metres back to the car.

THE ULTIMATE RIDE ON SNOW

The EXP V2 is the pinnacle open-cell foil kite for advanced and expert snowkiters.
Refined through feedback from world-class Greenland expedition guides, including Håkon Mæland and Camilla Ringvold, this mid/high-aspect powerhouse blends uncompromising efficiency and solid dependability.

Key Technical Advantages

Ultra-Responsive Handling: An optimised arc and bridle geometry deliver a tight loop radius, immediate power delivery, and effortless turns. The turn is now faster, and the loop radius can be tightened significantly further before the spin point is reached.

Featherweight Architecture: Combining a high cell-count double-surface profile (38–44 cells) with ultralight Dominico 20D/10D fabrics, drag and weight are minimised for superior low-wind launch and flight. We re-optimised the bridle geometry and line materials, using a greater number of different line types to reduce drag and weight wherever possible.

Instant Safety & Depower: The market-leading Internal Re-Ride Release System allows you to self-land and secure the kite, regardless of the conditions, and re-launch it when you are ready to go again.

Expedition-Ready Details: Our sheathed lines help prevent frustrating knots, while the included compact Compressor Bag optimises pack space for day trips and helps keep your pulk bags organised on multi-day expeditions. Go anywhere, more easily, whatever the temperature.

Designers perspective

The V1 was a well-proven design. Maintaining the stability and dependable performance was vital, so the V2 retains the same profile and planform outline. We focused hard on the handling and have increased the arc slightly for tighter, faster turns and redesigned the bridles for a more direct bar feel.

There’s now a sportier feeling, especially in the smaller sizes. If you want to cover distance on the snow, or if you want a fun and performant freeride kite, the EXP V2 is for you. If you are familiar with EXP in the bigger sizes, I highly recommend you try the 9 or 7m. They are incredible kites to fly.

RIDER GUIDANCE & TRIM

The EXP V2 is built with lightweight high performance fabrics and must be carefully looked after. It needs an experienced rider who knows how to keep the kite up in the air and how to handle it gently on the ground.

Always use a Brake Handle when flying a foil kite. This is the handle/line that spans between the back leader lines on your control system. This easy-to-grab handle makes inflation, self-landing and reverse launch easier.

The EXP V2 can be used with either the Contact Snow or Snow EXP control systems, but the Snow EXP system is strongly recommended as it offers significant additional depower range. The EXP V2 should not be used with a 4-Line control system as it would not benefit from the Internal Re-Ride Release system.

Regular maintenance of the speed system and bridle lines (within a tight tolerance) is essential to preserve factory flight trim and peak aerodynamic efficiency.

(Note: The EXP V2 is made to order, with custom colours available. Contact your local Ozone dealer for current production lead times.)
