Ozone Liteforce Wing 7.7 m²

The Liteforce has been designed by combining different design elements from the Ozone Flux and Flow wings to deliver easy and very effective performance in lightwinds. Without reducing strength and reliability, the weight of the Liteforce has also been kept to a minimum to provide optimal, accessible performance.

This is the ‘Zephyr’ of our wing range - for riders who want to score the most riding time possible with the least amount of complication. 

Liteforce is available in two, powerful sizes of 6.6m and 7.7m, both are packed with low end grunt to allow for super early planing, while the low drag handling also allows for remarkable levels of comfort at the top end of the wing’s range, as well as smooth into-wind movements. The carefully developed compact planform means that the tips are less likely to catch the water during manoeuvres, allowing for maximum freeride fun, however light the conditions.

Ozone Fly vs Ozone Liteforce comparison

• The Liteforce is quite similar in profile and shape to the Fly
• More performance oriented, stiffer and lighter weight dacron material on the leading edge and strut (like the Flux).
• The Liteforce also has rigid carbon handles (the Fly has soft handles), so has a more connected feel, but also offers more hand control, especially when the wind is very light.  

Ozone Flux vs Ozone Liteforce comparison

• The Liteforce wings have more pure low end grunt for easy power generation in light winds. 
• The Liteforce wings also have less span than the Flux from tip-to-tip which makes it easier to prevent the tips touching the water.
• The Flux is a more performance-inspired design, capable of higher top speeds and tighter upwind riding angles, but will take a more developed technique to pump the Flux for power in very light winds.

Rider Guidance

While both Liteforce wings have a large overall area, they are specifically designed with a compact planform to make handling and manoeuvring as easy as possible. 

 175cm / 5’9’’ OR TALLER?

• Riders of this height will have no problem handling either the 6.6 or 7.7m. Their choice will be dictated by how important the extra pure low end power of the 7.7m will be; either enabling them to ride in the absolute lightest possible winds, or to give them more of an advantage if they’re a particularly heavy rider. 

 
BETWEEN 165cm / 5’5’’ AND 175cm / 5’9’’?

• We’d recommend the 6.6m. As well as being easier to handle, it will provide more than enough power.

Allowing for excellent aerodynamic performance with a longer lasting shape, the proven supportive structure of the 125g performance dacron on the leading edge and strut (as used on the Flux) helps the Liteforce manage wind speeds beyond the limits these big wings would otherwise have. 

Using a performance dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed our designers to pre-load the leading edge so that its shape will have far less deformation under load.

The optimised sail shaping and horizontal panels mean that each seam, from strut to tip, creates a stronger line connection in the sail, distributing the load better along the warp of the fabric, reducing canopy stretch over time.

The ergonomic carbon fibre handles with EVA grip provide a super-direct connection for more control in all situations. They also ensure you get every ounce of power from each pump of the wing!

The combination of all these features contribute to the Liteforce’s light and agile feeling and unbeatable range.

Two carefully positioned windows running parallel with the chord of the wing on either side of the strut allow you to get a sense of other water users downwind of you while holding the wing at a normal riding angle.

(The windows on the Flow wing are span oriented instead, because riders have more space above the water to move the wing up and down as well as back and forth when using the windows, so a narrower but taller window is best for that wing to offer good visual opportunities at different angles). 

We always recommend to lift the wing overhead to get a totally clear view of the water downwind before making a manoeuvre.
