Expert Review
The 2026 Ozone Edge VT is a powerful, stable big air kite with strong low-end grunt and predictable sheet-and-go boosting, but it comes at a cost: notably heavy bar pressure and sluggish response in the air that demands real physical effort, especially in stronger winds. Looping is smooth once you commit, but the kite's slow, deliberate character makes aerial maneuvering and tricks like board-offs genuinely difficult. It's a specialist tool for committed big-air riders, not a do-it-all performer.
Pros
- +Strong low-end power; rideable in lighter winds than comparable kites
- +Sheet-and-go boosting is easy and consistent to access
- +Very stable in the sky; hard to accidentally get into trouble
- +Loops cleanly and predictably when line tension is maintained
- +Well-built, robust Ozone construction suggests multi-season durability
- +Good for multiple rotations where kite stability above head is valued
Cons
- −Heaviest bar pressure of any recent kite reviewed — causes arm and elbow fatigue
- −Sluggish response when sheeting out or repositioning kite mid-air
- −Board-offs and one-handed aerial tricks extremely difficult due to slow sky movement
- −First-loop progression on 9m+ sizes is challenging; reviewer recommends smaller sizes only
- −Five-strut Dacron construction means less wind-range benefit versus lighter Alula version
Best for
Experienced big-air and megaloop riders who prefer a stable, powerful kite and can tolerate heavy bar pressure, especially in 7–8m sizes for strong-wind sessions.
Not for
Progression riders attempting their first loops, anyone sensitive to arm fatigue, or riders wanting a light, twitchy kite for technical aerial freestyle.

Hello and welcome to another plus-size kite review where in today's episode I will be covering the new Ozone Edge VT and I will also talk a little bit about my experience riding a couple of sessions on the 10 m version of the new Alula Edge, the Ultra X. Sadly, I don't have access to a 9m version of
Bottom line
in summary, this is a really fun kite for the style of riding it offers with solid sheet and go power for all levels. And despite some challenges, it would be an ideal addition for a lot of riders uh with ozone or other low V quivers where you can share your bars on multiple kites. When I rode the Edge a few years ago in my first review, I did remember thinking this would be a great addition to my Orbit quiver in a size seven or 8 m specifically for jumping and um trying to get height in stronge
