The Ozone Liteforce V2 is a large light-wind freeride wing designed to combine early power with a relatively compact, responsive feel. Offered in 6.6 and 7.7 square metres, it is intended for riders who need dependable low-end drive without wanting an oversized wing to feel cumbersome once moving. The second generation introduces a carbon boom, revised canopy shaping and additional trailing-edge control, with the aim of making the wing both more direct in the hands and quieter at speed.
Light-wind purpose
The Liteforce V2's compact outline is designed to produce useful low-end torque while remaining manageable through pumping and manoeuvres. Ozone combines this shape with a low-drag aerodynamic profile so that the wing can accelerate rather than simply pull. For riders using efficient foils or larger boards, that balance should help translate each pump into forward speed and earlier lift. The large sizes also make the wing relevant to heavier riders or anyone seeking more time on the water in marginal conditions.
Compared with the first generation, Ozone has reduced the number of sail cuts and refined the shaping. Fewer seams can create a cleaner surface, while the adjusted tension pattern is intended to preserve the designed profile under load. An extra anti-flap batten at the trailing edge adds support where a large canopy is most prone to movement. Together, these updates focus on keeping the wing settled while retaining the sporty character the brand associates with the model.
Airframe and canopy
The inflatable structure is built from Ozone's Performance Dacron, specified at 125 grams per square metre. The manufacturer says this is about 20 percent lighter than conventional Dacron while retaining the stiffness required for a responsive frame. The canopy uses Teijin TechnoForce 3x3 ripstop cloth, selected to manage the higher loads generated by a large, powerful wing. Internal reinforcements, overlap flat seams and extra protection around the leading edge, strut and trailing edge address repeated inflation and riding loads.
Fast Flow valves are intended to speed inflation and pack-down, while the Direct Connect strut creates a firm link between the centre strut and leading edge. Low-profile scuff pads protect contact areas without introducing excessive drag or bulk. Easy View windows maintain sightlines around the wing, and Ozone's in-house bladder construction completes an airframe package developed as a coherent system rather than a collection of separate components.
Handling and controls
The V2 replaces the previous handle arrangement with a rigid carbon boom. Injection-moulded interfaces are designed to remove movement at the connection points, giving the rider a continuous grip area and more direct control over pitch and sheeting. A stiffer surf handle at the leading edge is intended to provide a cleaner, more stable hold when the wing is flagged out. This combination supports both powered freeriding and the neutral handling needed when coasting on a swell.
A swivel leash is part of the standard control package, while a fixed-loop harness line is available for riders who want to reduce arm load during longer reaches. The padded technical bag provides room for the folded wing and its boom. The two-size range keeps the model focused: the 6.6 square-metre version offers the more compact option, while the 7.7 is intended to extend usable time into still lighter wind.
Summary
The Ozone Liteforce V2 is a dedicated light-wind freeride wing for riders seeking early power from a large canopy without sacrificing direct control. Its compact planform, lighter Performance Dacron frame, TechnoForce canopy, carbon boom and updated trailing-edge support are the main features behind its blend of low-end drive and responsive handling.
