Re: New Ozone lines
From Kiteboarding.com:
Taking it to the next level, Ozone has upgraded the 500kg/300kg kitesurf lines to the latest and greatest SK99 Dyneema fiber. This new fiber is stronger and less sensitive to shrinkage and stretch. Combined with new industry-leading braiding technology this will not only keep your lines at factory length for a longer time but also provides a more direct feeling and connection to your kite - especially steering inputs are more immediate with less delay giving you a faster, more reactive kite.
The SK99 fiber reduces line diameter while maintaining high strength. The 300kg back lines have reduced in diameter from 1.1mm to 0.9mm keeping the same strength. From years of feedback we know Ozone customers like strong 500kg front lines and the thicker diameter makes them less prone to breaking. The diameter has been kept at 2.2mm on the front lines while increasing the breaking strength by 15%. We will still call this product 500kg even though the breaking strength is higher.
The color dyeing process has also been improved for stronger, longer lasting colors. Ozone lines are now dyed before braiding the lines - this latest manufacturing technology ensures each fiber gets a full coat of color. The new two-color look makes the line easily visible on any surface and gives a fresh and unique look too
