Kite
The 3 strut allround SLE kite from Ozone
Designer Goals
This is the second year for the Catalyst and it has been improved, even thought the 2010 Catalyst was a succes allready. It's designed for smooth handling, has a huge depower range, easy relaunch and comes with a simple but effective safety system. It comes with new inflate/deflate valves and comes with a briddle system without pulleys (simpler and improved the feedback to the bar). The new strut design improves stability. The Catalyst is the entry kite with potential. Changing the setup will give you more advanced performance.
