The Ozone Catalyst V5 is your perfect partner for fast progress and maximum control. Its considered design supports you at every stage of learning, builds confidence and delivers more fun on the water.
Stability, durability and progressive steering are at the heart of the new Catalyst V5. It builds on the proven shape of the V4 but has been upgraded in key areas to give you an even smoother, confidence-inspiring ride – whether you are a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills.
Ten new bridle attachment points on the leading edge provide extra frame and canopy stability across all sizes. New Dacron reinforcements protect the most stressed areas, while a rounder arc makes handling noticeably more agile. That means faster learning, more precise control and coordinated flying across a wide wind range.
The combination of an open arc shape and a single-strut design delivers light-wind ease, smooth power delivery and relaxed kiting in changing conditions. A wide wind range and progressive depower place the Catalyst V5 among the most versatile kites in its class.
The simple water-relaunch system gets you back in the air quickly after a crash so you can keep riding.
