Ozone Buzz

The Ozone Buzz has everything that you need to progress safely through the first years of your career. Even if you plan to fly regularly and improve quickly, you won't outgrow the Buzz too soon.

The Buzz is ideal for enthusiastic and talented beginners, or pilots moving up from a DHV 1 wing who still crave that extra level of security not available in other gliders with DHV 1-2 performance.

The Buzz's handling and performance is ample enough for a new pilots' first years of progression, with absolutely no compromise in safety. The Buzz is designed to be a super-safe glider for pilots who need DHV 1 safety in a wing with DHV 1-2 Performance. Suggested Retail $3,400

Ozone Rush

The Rush was created for the performance pilot who needs DHV 1-2 security. With a higher aspect ratio and more cells than the Buzz, the Rush is closer to the Vulcan in performance while remaining well within the boundaries of the DHV 1-2 class. It features sportier, more dynamic handling than the Buzz, along with a higher speed range.

The Rush is Cross Country Performance with safety and stability. It is a top-end DHV 1-2 with all of the ingredients for long flights; all it needs is a pilot to lead the way. The Rush's launch characteristics are benign for a wing with such performance and dynamic character, and pilots will find that the inflation is simple to control even in higher winds. The wing likes to bite into thermals and the handling is direct and well coordinated, which makes coring even the tightest or most disorganized lift a pleasure. Feedback is transmitted to the pilot in comfortable amounts, and it is feedback that the pilot can understand and use, not just turbulence or noise.

Ozone uses only the finest materials on earth to construct its gliders. The Rush's design and materials were carefully researched and tested to ensure that it will withstand the test of time.

Pilots moving up from a Vibe to a Rush will notice a very significant improvement in every aspect of the gliders' performance: With increased pitch stability in turbulence and a marked tendency to cut through the bumps and bite into lift, the Rush is an entirely different wing, with the same DHV 1-2 rating.

The Rush features Ozone's brilliant new three-color design, and is available in 8 combinations. Suggested Retail $3,500.

Ozone Addict

The Addict is succeeding the Vulcan DHV 2, but it has a lot more in common with the Mantra. With exactly the same number of cells as the Mantra, the same materials, and even a thin line version available (Addict R), the Addict may also prove to be a kilometer eating XC machine.

Increased surface area in the wingtips of the Addict have allowed for a very ‘lifty' and efficient turn, but at the same time, the Addict has an extraordinarily tight turning radius, which makes it an efficient glider for working weak lift and maneuvering in tight places. Its sail tension is well balanced, following the model of the Mantra, which creates a very smooth ride in rough air and makes for excellent passive safety. It is also a very ‘trustworthy' glider in big air, and pilots needn't feel uncomfortable using speed bar in rough conditions, because of its stability at speed.

The Addict has a DHV II rating in all sizes. Suggested Retail $3,800.
