HYPERLINK V4 - THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER FOIL KITE FOR WATER AND SNOW

The Hyperlink V4 has seen careful, incremental improvements throughout the design, but you'll really notice improvements in two key areas. 

1. REDUCED ASPECT-RATIO DELIVERS FASTER, TIGHTER AND MORE REACTIVE TURNING
    
2. LIGHTER BAR FEEL MEANS LESS FATIGUE ON LONG SESSIONS

A SIMPLIFIED QUIVER

As the headline suggests, we believe this is the ultimate cross-over foil kite for anyone who wants to mix up their kiting between water and snow with the minimum amount of kites in their quiver. 

This is the only foil kite in our range that is convertible between closed cell 4-line mode and open cell 5-line mode - which is the key to its crossover application and safety on all terrains. 

It still may not be as quick as your customers' inflatable kites, but of all our foil kites, the Hyperlink V4 feels the most similar to the way an inflatable kite steers and handles. So we still recommend this as the first foil kite for most kitesurfers who are ready to transition to riding ram air kites. 

The faster handling improvements listed below also make it a great kite for backcountry snowkite adventurers, of an intermediate level and beyond. 

Read on in this newsletter for an overview of the key fundamental sales points of the Hyperlink V4, as well as comparisons with other foil kites in the Ozone range. 

- Ideal first foil kite that also delivers versatile snowkite performance

- True cross-over use with easy handling and exceptional stability

- Convertible modes: closed cell 4-line / open cell 5-line 

• Offers great value with a premium foil kite design

HANDLING

- Lighter bar feel for less fatigue on long sessions  

- Reduced aspect-ratio delivers faster, tighter and more reactive turning 

- Quick and easy water relaunch in closed cell 4-line mode

• Safe, instant depower for self-landing on snow in open cell 5-line mode 

PERFECT FOR: 

- FIRST FOIL KITE FOR INTERMEDIATE KITESURFERS

• RIDERS WHO DESIRE SPORTIER TURNING ON SNOW OR WATER 

The Hyperlink is a true multi-purpose foil kite. Set it up in closed cell 4-line mode on the water, or convert it to open cell 5-line mode for the ultimate in safe and versatile handling on the snow. 

The Hyperlink V4 covers almost every aspect of kiting. Freeride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked as well as backcountry snow missions; it delivers for all! 

The Hyperlink may not be as fast as your inflatable kite, but the way it moves and turns will feel more familiar than other foil kites. The V4 design delivers more freeride and jumping capabilities, bringing it even closer to the feel of an inflatable kite. 

By adding the Hyperlink V4 to your quiver you’ll enjoy incredible stability, light wind power and cross-over performance. 

DESIGN INSIGHTS 

“Developing the Hyperlink is always exciting. Thanks to the multi-purpose design brief it takes us from riding twin tips and foils on water, to the highest peaks in the mountains on snow… and anywhere in between. 

“We found the V3 could fatigue your arms on long days in the mountains, so we worked on reducing the bar pressure and steering forces while also increasing the turning speed. 

“The V4 is now more fun on snow as it nicely accelerates through the loops, is extremely stable while offering great depower. Oh, and it glides pretty well too! On water, the increased handling makes it more fun and easier to send for big jumps.” 

DOM ZIMMERMANN, OZONE HEAD KITE DESIGNER 

FOR WATER AND SNOW

The Hyperlink V4 is the ultimate crossover foil kite, designed for both water and snow. Easily switch between:

4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODE:

Water

Ideal for water use, 4-Line Closed Cell Mode comes standard with a front-line flag-out safety system, similar to our inflatable kites. After a quick pre-inflation, the kite fully inflates in the air, offering fast, intuitive steering, similar to an inflatable. 

Relaunching is easy—simply pull one line using the relaunch ball or brake handle on the leader lines.

5-LINE OPEN CELL MODE

Snow

Best suited for snow and land, 5-Line Open Cell Mode inflates more quickly due to the open valves. Paired with the optional Internal Re-Ride Release System, it allows for instant depower and safe self-landing, making it perfect for adventurous snowkiters.

HYPERLINK V4 BRAKE LINE SETTINGS

As on the V3, you’ll find three settings to adjust feedback and bar pressure to your liking:

1. Hydrofoil setting:  Lower bar pressure with a longer lift duration — ideal for foiling manoeuvres.

2. All-round setting:  A balanced setting for most riders and conditions (factory setting).

3. Twin Tip setting:  Increased bar pressure for a more direct, sharp feel—great for twin tip riding.

Ozone Safety

All Ozone snowkites come with our unique Internal Re-Ride Release System which is the market leading Snowkite release and landing system. It has made mountain climbing and packing so much more enjoyable, safe, easy and quick for the user. When activated the kite de-powers instantly without tangling, and will sit on the ground ready to re-launch when you’re ready again.

RETURNING DESIGN FEATURES FOR ASSURED DYNAMIC HANDLING

The Hyperlink V4 incorporates Ozone's signature Transverse Sail Shaping, ensuring a smoother aerodynamic profile and reduced air turbulence. The kite’s upper and lower surfaces are constructed from durable, lightweight, double rip-stop nylon with a water-shedding coating for improved aerodynamics and relaunch.

An optimised internal structure, with diagonal ribs and span-wise straps, ensures the profile maintains its shape under load, allowing consistent performance across all conditions.

FLYING LINE RECOMMENDATIONS:

We recommend 23m lines for all sizes, but shorter lines (10m-21m) offer greater responsiveness, especially for hydrofoiling. Shorter lines also enhance upwind ability in stronger winds.
