EXPLORE V3- THE MASTER OF ACCESSIBILITY
Start your adventure today!
Designed for both rookie snowkiters and seasoned backcountry adventurers, the Explore V3’s easy-to-manage, single-surface design makes it the perfect companion for all skill levels.
Features
- Single surface dedicated snowkite
- Lightweight and ultra compact, perfect for touring
- Entry level to expert riders
- Simple and very intuitive to set-up and ride
- Super reliable for self-landing, resting and then relaunching
- Industry leading internal Re-Ride release system
Design Highlights:
The Explore V3 has the same cell count, planform and aspect-ratio as the V2, yet through careful refinements, the design team have managed to:
1. Further reduce drag
2. Deliver increased control
3. Improve overall stability
- Improved upwind performance: The addition of full-length battens helps reduce drag, making the kite perform better when flying upwind in stronger conditions.
- Enhanced stability and smoother power control: Adjustments to the bridle layout, including fewer tabs and lines, along with repositioning of key tabs, provide extra stability, smoother power modulation and improved bar feel.
- Better canopy tension and control: A more accurate arc and optimised bridle layout result in improved canopy tension, leading to better overall control and efficiency.
- Cleaner trailing edge: ‘Shrink’ brake tabs reduce drag and create a smoother, cleaner trailing edge, improving overall aerodynamics.
FEEL PURE FREEDOM
As a dedicated backcountry tourer himself, Ozone designer, Stu Yarrow, focused on further optimising the Explore’s accessible handling and practical ease to ensure sessions on the snow are hassle free.
Based in the snowkite wonderland of Norway, testing opportunities are endless.
The Explore V3’s inherent safety, tiny pack size and lightweight versatility really shine, but this is also a very capable kite and can easily get you up and back down steep hills with ease. Downwinders are really fun here. We take the train upwind and then ride back over the hills, knowing we can cope with any situation. There’s nothing better.
EXPLORE V3 DESIGNER, STU YARROW
GO SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS WITH CONFIDENCE
The amount of depower that a single surface kite offers, and the speed that it’s applied, is unparalleled, especially in the Explore V3, which is tuned for the ultimate in self-reliance.
The balance in design was to deliver as much flying performance as possible while ensuring the near-instant depower feels as clean and smooth as possible.
The Explore V3’s optimised bridle layout and tab positions, as well as the new, longer plastic ribs, help the kite maintain a more forward and efficient flying position.
The unrivalled depower and huge sense of security will encourage you to go deeper into the backcountry. Adding to your confidence is the Explore V3’s crash-resistant build, super easy self landing / launching ability and the incredibly small size it packs down to.
WHAT YOU FEEL
The single surface Explore V3 makes snowkiting a real possibility for everyone. Thanks to the lightweight materials and design, even in extremely light winds the kite feels incredibly stable overhead. The kite remains solid and won’t collapse, regardless of the force of the gusts, and no matter where the kite is in the window, as soon as you push the bar away, the power dies. The Explore V3 is the kite I choose to teach my clients with and I’m 100% confident in it.
JOHANN CIVEL, OZONE TEAM RIDER, SNOWKITE GUIDE AND COACH
ADVENTUROUS
The Explore V3 is powerful in any size. Take advantage of the ultra smooth and constant pull and then depower the kite instantly, wherever it is in the window.
Self-landing is at its easiest with the Explore V3, while its compact and lightweight characteristics, along with its crash-resistant build will encourage you to venture further without fear of complication.
CAPABLE
Although massively accessible, the Explore V3 is capable of delivering huge riding potential to advanced riders who want to push their boundaries. The versatile handling can be used to steer the kite through tight and dynamic loops, or slower, wider arcs; both essential for navigating difficult terrain.
Introduced on the Explore V2, the closed cells in the tips reduce tip flutter when looping the kite, resulting in less noise and a smoother feeling. Riding down slopes with the kite de-powered up high in the window, or to the side, allows you to focus more on riding and less on the kite.
CONFIDENT
Super predictable flying characteristics add the really forgiving feel which inspires confidence in all situations. Even in an exposed position on a hill, you can just park the kite at the zenith without feeling intimidated.
