Ozone Ultralite X: The High-Performance Mini-Wing Evolution
The Ozone Ultralite X (ULX) is more than just a light glider; it’s a speed-focused evolution of the innovative Ultralite 5. Designed for intermediate-to-advanced pilots, the ULX merges Ozone’s "Speed" category DNA with their highest-performing lightweight technology. If you want the agility of a speedwing but the glide and stability of a modern mini-wing, this is the tool for the job.
Riser Tech & Piloting Precision
Unlike many mini-wings that rely on a speedbar, the ULX features a speed-specific riser design with R3X-style trimmers. This allows for accurate rear-riser piloting and pitch control that is unparalleled in this class. Whether you’re soaring high-alpine ridges or carving tight lines, the pulley-riser system and enhanced weight-shift characteristics give you total authority over the wing.
The Tech Behind the Flight
At the core of the ULX is Ozone’s pioneering SharkNose technology, ensuring the wing stays rock-solid overhead even at increased speeds. Built with Dominico N10D fabric, it’s a true featherweight that can launch from technical, cramped terrain with ease—a legacy inherited from 20 years of Ozone wings summiting Everest and competing in the X-Alps.
Which size is for you?
The new 11m size is the most dynamic and responsive in the range, blending speedwing agility with a glide that defies its size. All sizes (11 through 17) offer an incredible combination of lightness and performance, but remember: these are high-energy wings that require active piloting skills.
