Ozone Access 2
The Ozone Access 2 is designed for back country exploring in the snow, buggy riding and land boarders who want an entry into the world of depower kiting. The Access 2 is a depowerable open cell kite aimed at people who don’t want to make huge jumps and are after more of a traction pull than an upwards lift.
Ozone have taken features from the Access, i.e. stability, huge depower and value for money, and added more features to the Access 2. The number of cells in the kite have been boosted by 2 per size which means more power per size. This means that the turn is faster and the stability is rock solid in even the gustiest of conditions. The Ozone Access 2 boasts the same clamcleat trim and carbon bar system as the Frenzy, giving the user total control of the power at hand.
The Ozone Access 2 comes with a back pack inside which the kite packs down into a small bundle. This makes this kite perfect for taking everywhere there might be wind and the chance for some exploration by kite. Simply unpack the kite, un-roll the lines and you have your own personal ski tow to take you up the mountain or across the beach. Many people are using the kite to quickly access back country routes, being pulled to the top of the mountain, packing up and descending, enjoying the freeride sensation with the kite in a back pack. With its superb pricing and high quality the Access 2 is a kite for all styles and a great tool to have with you at all times. Pro riders and experienced snowkiters should have a 4m Access 2 in their quiver for those ballistic high wind days when freestyle and big jumps are out of the question.

Quality: Ozone feel that design can be broken down into 3 sub-headings! 1/ Design: a quality design results in a kite that handles as well as possible, combined with the highest level of performance and safety. 2/ Materials: when Ozone choose materials they base their decision upon the fact that the materials used are the best available for the job. 3/ Production: all Ozone kites are manufactured in their own facility, giving them total control over every aspect of the manufacturing process. Each kite is fully inflated and inspected to certified paragliding standards before leaving our DHV-approved factory. 4/ Testing: every Ozone kite has undergone thousands of hours of development, from CAD design through to riding in extremes, at -40 0 C in Norway to the baking heat and sand blasts of Chile.
-
Mylar Edged: Aerodynamics tells us that the leading and trailing edges are the two most critical lines in an aerofoil section. Ozone kites are Mylar taped which gives a more rigid structure, a clean and efficient aerofoil, and absolutely zero stretching. The Mylar tape effectively locks the sail shape, meaning your kite keeps its factory trim.
-
Double stitched: Ozone kites are double-needle stitched. This is stronger and more durable than single line stitching in the event of the kite being dragged over rough ground. Even the thread used for stitching the lines and sail is UV-bonded which adds further strength and life-span to the kite. Every seam is checked to within 0.5 mm; a look at the colour-scheme accuracy and the inside of the seams of Ozone kites will highlight this fact.
-
Bridle Lines: Ozone's aim is to use the least amount of line possible, to minimise parasitic drag through the air. This results in a more performant kite. Ozone have established that the accuracy and diameter of the line lengths is vitally important. To achieve this accuracy, Ozone use the highest quality Dyneema lines which are stitch finished for extra strength and less drag. The ‘kook-proof’ colour-coded and labelled line connection system makes setup safer and completely stress-free for riders new to kiting.
-
Lines: Tested to 100kg, Ozone’s heat-treated Edelrid Dyneema SK75 lines ensure stretch resistance, a high thermal tolerance and durability for all kites. Lines are cut, pre-stretched, sleeved and stitched to ensure 100% accuracy. The lines are final load tested to 60% of their breaking strain to “lock” the line and as a final production check.
-
Attachment Tabs: The attachment tabs on Ozone kites are sewn deep into the reinforcement area of the ribs. This means that the load is spread over a larger area of material and therefore reduces any stretching and ageing of the cloth.
