About this kite

The Catalyst is Ozone's progression icon, now in its fifth generation: docile power delivery, instant relaunch and forgiveness that turns mistakes into lessons instead of swims. Crucially it stays playful — enough boost and drift that improving riders keep it long after the basics. Aircraft-grade Ozone build throughout.
