Ozone Roadmax: Precision Engineering for Trike Pilots
The Ozone Roadmax is not just a modified paraglider; it is a purpose-built wing designed from the ground up specifically for trike and cart operations. Engineered for a massive weight range of 120kg to 250kg, it is the perfect choice for solo trike pilots or light tandem flights. By focusing on the unique thrust vectors and loading profiles of motorized carts, Ozone has created a wing that simplifies every aspect of trike flying—from the initial roll-out to the final flare.
"On-Rails" Stability with Winglet Technology
Stability is paramount when operating a trike, and the Roadmax delivers an "on-rails" experience thanks to its integrated Winglet Technology. These winglets significantly improve roll stability and directional tracking, making the wing much easier to manage during the critical inflation phase on the ground and providing a rock-solid platform during high-speed cruise. This specialized design effectively eliminates the roll oscillations often associated with high-load reflex wings.
Effortless Launching & Shark Nose Performance
Launching a heavy trike can be a challenge, but the Roadmax features a specialized OZRP Shark Nose reflex profile that ensures a steady, reliable inflation without the tendency to overshoot or hang back. The high internal pressure provided by the Shark Nose technology means the wing remains collapse-resistant and efficient across a wide speed range. Its high-lift profile allows for short take-off rolls and incredibly soft, predictable landings.
Trike-Specific Risers & Dual Steering
The Roadmax is equipped with dedicated risers that are shorter than standard PPG risers, ensuring easy access to toggles and trimmers from a seated trike position. The Double Tip Steering system provides a 2D control layout for agile, coordinated turns, while the TST (Tip Steering) mini-toggles allow for surgical course corrections during accelerated flight without deforming the efficient reflex profile of the wing.
