On the website it says if you used a 9m last year then you should try a 8m this year.
Has anyone other than sponsored riders tried them and what do they think ?
Cheers Guys
Anyone tested the Ozone Reo v4

Re: Anyone tested the Ozone Reo v4
I have the V3 quiver 7m,9m, & 12m
This weekend I borrowed the V4 8m demo from the shop for testing.
Saturday: I started my session with the Reo 9m V3 and finished with the V4 8m.
Sunday: I started my session with the Reo V4 8m and finished with the V3 7m.
IMHO in term of range, the V4 8m is equal to a V3 8m
The only difference I have noticed is that the V4 has a little bit less bar pressure and turns a little bit faster, which is great. I was told by the shop owner that the V4 could backstall more easily when under-powered so trimming is required but I did not experience it.

Re: Anyone tested the Ozone Reo v4
I have been riding Reos since 2012 and just got the V4 quiver 12 10 7 , The V4 is lighter smoother lower bar pressure and turns faster. It is not a dramatic change since Reo was already a great kite but all positive

Re: Anyone tested the Ozone Reo v4
Thanks for the replies guys.
I must admit I don't like the idea of a Backstalling kite especially as I intend to use them in really light winds for Foilboarding
