Hi all,
I'm looking for real-world feedback from anyone who has actually flown BOTH the Ozone Enduro V5 and the new Reflex - not marketing copy, just rider impressions.
Where I'm coming from: I ride an Enduro V5 in 12m and 10m and I get on really well with them in pretty much every condition. It's probably the best all-rounder I've owned. The only thing I've noticed is that on the foil, when I'm underpowered, they can be slightly prone to front-stalling. Apart from that, no complaints.

What I like most is the variable bridle geometry. I run the wave/foil setting a lot, especially on the 10m, and the kite genuinely changes character - lighter bar pressure, quicker steering when depowered - and it works really well for strapless / down-the-line riding.
Now the Reflex has arrived and, as far as I understand, it takes the Enduro's place in the range. But it looks like a different animal: three struts, more Vortex DNA, and no adjustable bridle settings anymore. Ozone market it as a freeride kite, but everything they show is boosting and big air, which makes me wonder whether it has actually been pushed towards jumping rather than staying a true do-everything kite.

So, for those who have ridden both:
1. All-round feel: does the Reflex keep the Enduro's easy, forgiving, go-anywhere character, or is it noticeably more of a big air machine?
2. Surf / waves (the big one for me): how does it drift? How does it sit in the window when you're riding depowered down the line - does it hold its position, or does it want to pull you off the wave? Is the fixed bridle a step backwards compared to the Enduro on the wave/foil setting?
3. Foiling and light wind: any front-stall tendency when underpowered - better or worse than the Enduro?
4. Bar pressure, turning speed and turning arc: tighter/pivotier or bigger and more swept than the Enduro?
5. Low end and depower range in the 10-12m sizes?

Bottom line question: for someone whose priority is all-round performance plus proper wave manners, is moving to the Reflex an upgrade, or would I be giving up something that the Enduro's bridle settings were giving me? Very happy to be told to just keep what I have.
Cheers

I have been Enduro rider since V2, currently own a 11m V5 UX and 9m V4. Tested Reflex in 11m size and didn't like it as eventual replacement for my Enduros. It jumps higher and easier, jumps are loftier, but all other aspects I care about are worse than Enduro - Reflex is slower to react, doesn't feel suitable for surfboard, doesn't loop as nicely as Enduro...and is lacking alot in fun factor for me. I would rather go Vortex than Reflex.
@FulvioS - just saw your question about Reo V8. I can not answer that but as my quiver also includes 6m and 7m V7 Reos(which I like a lot!) I can quite confidently say you will not like the Reflex :) It feels nothing like Enduro or Reo when on surfboard.

PS. The new design(looks) is also awful :)
