Two years after the launch of the V11, the refinements in the V12 will only increase the enjoyment of anyone who already loves the Edge?s unique performance possibilities. If you?re yet to experience the Edge?s powerful personality, there?s never been a better time to jump into the cockpit. The V12?s aerodynamic developments offer even more control and responsive feel for the pilot than ever before.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSHRED HARD WITH A WIDER RANGE\u003c\/strong\u003e - The Edge has always provided mind-altering experiences in strong winds, but the advantages of transverse shaping and the V12?s clean and taut canopy profile also deliver sublime experiences for those looking to enjoy powder-like freeriding in lighter conditions, too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION\u003c\/strong\u003e - The V12 retains a similar DNA to the V11 with the increased canopy tautness that we have since implemented in the Enduro V4, Reo V7 and Reo V7 Ultra-X thanks to the introduction of transverse sail shaping in the canopy cloth that runs parallel with the leading edge. Less visually obvious, but noticeable in improved bar feel, a pre-loaded leading edge adds additional tension into the canopy which forms a tighter shape, bringing more rigidity and less sail flutter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSVERSE SHAPING \u0026amp; CLEANER, TIGHTER CANOPY\u003c\/strong\u003e - Applying the experience of our paragliding design colleagues, the Edge V12 features an extra seam in the sail running close to the leading edge, which allows for more true 3D shaping. Our primary focus is always centred around aerodynamic performance and the biggest aerodynamic gains come from being able to maintain the cleanest aerofoil and tightest canopy at all times. Searching for as tight a canopy as possible is a continuous journey. Not only have we managed to add more profile curvature through transverse shaping, but we?ve also added more strength in the high lift zone thanks to the extra seams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMOOTHER RIDING, HIGHER UPWIND ANGLES AND MORE PRECISION\u003c\/strong\u003e - While the overall ride is a smoother sensation, the bar feeling and feedback is now more precise too thanks to canopy flutter having been reduced. The Edge V12 maintains a cleaner sail and increased airfoil performance in all situations, which is especially noticeable when steered hard and fast. The Edge V12 drives further upwind while also retaining more feeling and bar feedback when the kite is at the edge of the window as the canopy luffs later (delaying the point at which the canopy starts to flutter and lose power; increasing range).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOTHING BUT PURE PERFORMANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e - As ever, the ?Born Light: Genetically Strong? ethos is applied through every stage of manufacturing. Thanks to the advantage we have in owning our own factory in Vietnam, where 1000 skilled workers apply their careful skill and attention, Ozone products are guaranteed to provide incredible aerodynamic performance with built-in strength. All you?ll ever find on our kites is exactly what?s needed to meet a rider?s performance demands; nothing more, nothing less.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU FEEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast but smooth ride with huge amounts of power on tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved bar feeling and more direct feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy upwind angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExciting lift that?s easy to access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore aggressive handling leads to mind blowing lift performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSublime float and hangtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock solid canopy in even the strongest conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent feeling of control at both ends of the wind range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix of sheet-and-go performance and quick, precise steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore drive through the window and more control at the edge of the window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY YOU FEEL IT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew refined design and sail control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransverse sail shaping results in a cleaner aerofoil for increased performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved and cleaned up aerofoil section delivers more drive through the window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-loaded wing tips add aerodynamic performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance Technora bridle lines offer a vast reduction in parasitic drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree back-line tab settings to tweak bar pressure and turning speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight EVA anti flap battens improve overall aerodynamic flow and trailing edge finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh aspect planform with intricate sail shaping for fast handling and direct response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly supportive five strut design delivers incredible stability in the most extreme conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeijin TechnoForce Triple Ripstop canopy \u0026amp; Teijin Triple Ripstop Dacron\u003c\/strong\u003e - Teijin is the world's leading supplier of technical performance materials for marine sports, setting the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in dynamic strength and durability.
