Ozone Speedster 3: Speed, Stability & Agile Performance
The Ozone Speedster 3 is the definitive tool for pilots who want to cover more ground at higher speeds without the high-stress workload of a pure competition wing. Building on the success of its predecessors, the Speedster 3 features a refined 56-cell internal structure and a 5.6 flat aspect ratio to deliver a cleaner, more efficient profile. Whether you're crossing states on a long XC or carving tight lines at your local field, the Speedster 3 provides a rock-solid feel and surgical precision.
Solid "Full Reflex" Security
Equipped with the OZRP Shark Nose Reflex Profile, the Speedster 3 remains exceptionally resistant to collapses throughout its entire speed range. The massive trim range allows for high-speed cruising without the constant need to engage the speed bar, while the foot-operated accelerator provides instant access to even higher top speeds. This stability makes it an excellent choice for flying in active, thermic air where other wings might struggle to maintain pressure.
Effortless Launching & Agile Handling
Despite its performance-oriented design, the Speedster 3 remains one of the easiest reflex wings to launch. It inflates evenly with minimal effort in zero wind and rises steadily without overshooting in strong breezes. In flight, the handling is more reminiscent of a high-end paraglider than a traditional "on-rails" PPG wing. This agility allows for efficient climbing in thermals and playful, intuitive maneuvering during low-level fun flying.
Advanced Steering Options
The Speedster 3 comes standard with the Ozone TST (Tip Steering System), allowing for safe and effective directional control at high speeds without deforming the efficient reflex profile. For pilots seeking maximum precision, the wing is designed to be highly responsive to 2D steering techniques, blending main brakes and tip steering for a dynamic, "connected" feel that is perfect for slalom-style carving.
