2010 Ozone Access XT 8mtr Complete

Product Details

The Access XT is the ultimate entry level to intermediate snow kite. It has been designed for riders looking for an incredibly versatile and easy kite to ride for freeriding and backcountry exploring.

What’s important for an entry level kite is excellent stability, easy to control constant power and safety. Thanks to the Access XT’s design riders are able to concentrate on their riding technique with confidence.

From your first lessons on the snow to learning how to jump, backcountry riding and unhooked freestyling, the Access XT does it all!

Our design team and Pro riders always have a 4m or 6m with them when going backcountry as their “get out of jail card free” high wind kite.

The Access XT is constructed from top quality materials and features a double pulley speed-system, utilising the latest high spec Ronstan Orbit Block Series 20 pulleys. We have also added four unique “blow out valves” to the under surface to allow the internal volume of air to be released when the kite is crashed into the ground.

For 2011 the Access XT, Frenzy and Manta M3 all fly with the same bar, the new Contact-Snow Control System.

QUALITY >> Because it counts
Quality is a word that gets used a lot in the kite industry. At Ozone, we don’t take this word lightly; when we use it, we mean it. We are proud of our design and manufacturing and think it’s second to none. We’re proud of our design and manufacturing and believe they set a precedent for the rest of the industry.

Quality begins with design : at Ozone, a quality design results in a kite that handles as well as possible, combined with the highest level of performance and safety.

Choosing materials : this is a simple issue, when we choose materials, we base our decision solely upon the fact that the materials we use are the best available for the job.

Kite production : all Ozone kites are manufactured in our own facility. We have total control over every aspect of the manufacturing process, and each kite is fully inflated and inspected to certified paragliding standards before leaving our DHV-approved factory.

Product testing : Our Kites 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 Wingtips
The Access has Mylar taped wing tips, giving a more rigid structure and absolutely zero stretching. The Mylar tape effectively locks the wing tip shape, meaning your kite keeps it’s factory trim.

Attachment Tabs
The Access attachment tabs are sewn deep into the reinforcement area of the ribs, which means that the load is spread over a larger area of material, thus reducing any stretching and ageing of the cloth.

Bridle Lines
Our aim when designing the bridle lines is to use the least amount of line possible, minimizing parasitic drag through the air, resulting in a more performance kite. Kite design has advanced to the point where the accuracy and diameter of the line lengths is vitally important. To achieve this accuracy, we use the highest quality Edelrid sheathed lines which are stitch finished for extra strength and less drag.

Flying Lines
300/500kg Dyneema SK75 lines are cut, pre-stretched, sleeved/spliced and stitched to ensure 100% accuracy. The lines are finally load tested to 60% of their breaking strain to “lock” the line and as a final production check. The ‘kook-proof’ colour-coded and labeled line connection system makes set-up safer and completely stress-free for riders new to kiting.
