Ozone Ultralite 5
Ozone's lightweight gliders have launched from the summit of Mount Everest, competed in every iteration of the legendary X-Alps race, and redefined big mountain flying. This impressive history of mountain performance has been distilled into Ozone's Ultralite 5. With sizes ranging from nimble and dynamic miniwings to efficient and stable paragliders, there is a wing waiting to impress every pilot. While naming this wing may not have burst the seams of creativity, they certainly got it right: the Ultralite 5 is one of the lightest dual-surface gliders. While the very minimalistic risers require a bit more care to avoid twisting, the lines are impressively resilient for their weight. From an aerodynamic perspective, the redesigned SharkNose profile has significantly improved speed and glide performance without compromising passive safety. With the exceptional and diverse capabilities of the Ultralite 5, Ozone has once again earned its reputation as a leader in mountain flying efficiency and performance.
