Where the hell is my Aluula Edge already


Its called a Vortex for now. Hopefully whenever the new Edge is released it will have an UltraX option.
Yeah Nah my 8m V11 goes bigger, loops fast & is wayy cheaper than the Vortex... No point wasting money when the Edge has already been spotted going for double loops.
They should just make a pro range 8, 9 & 10. and get it out there instead of being left behind and losing customers... Jamie is why they have the Vortex but again - too slow to release and their best rider to put them on top is gone. Bugga
Have you tried them back to back? The Vortex is a very capable boosting and looping kite and Ozone tells us it's their biggest selling kite at the moment. Five strut hang time is hard to beat though for sure!
I've got a 13m Enduro V5 Ultra X coming, and I purchased it after demoing the 13m standard construction several times, the Enduro in Ultra X should also be a big booster and double looper.
Did back to back test with 3 kites.
My 8m V11 Edge - versus 8m Vortex & 8m V12 Edge.
The 8m V11 jumps the *** Highest***
Then the de-tuned 8m V12.
And last is the Vortex.
Vortex is the fastest and easiest to fly, compared the more technical timing needed by the edge - to access its race bred performance. Which is also why a lot of people backstall the edges from lack of tuning knowledge...
The Vortex is plug and play with turn speed - that cost it the extra height in the 'trade off'. Making it a easy choice for the average Joe.
Like I mentioned - they were too slow to develop it for Jamie Overbake who was Monster jumps and tricking in comps but held back because of turn speed... so they lost both himself and the best person to put them on top...
The Duotone Evo and Rebel were at this same point until the aluula Rebel came out, and now the evo is being put out to pasture as a great all-rounder and the Rebel the big jumper...
Funny how things change once their Both on an even footing and the wind is at the Top end.
