Ozone production times
wings are made to order. Ozone gives their current approximate production time on their website in working days, for example: “The current production time is approximately 30 days from order to shipping”. Add 1-3 weeks for shipping, and allow for unexpected delays. Some may claim shorter delivery times however we’re unsure how they can supply faster than the manufacturer themselves can produce and ship! 😉
Ozone Alpina 4 GT: INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED – EN C
New features
The Alpina 4 GT is the Alpina 4 but features Ozone’s new colour scheme and a more robust top surface cloth. Dominico 20D32 replaces the mix of Dominico 20D and Skytex 27 for improved durability and robustness which makes it more suitable for rough terrain, with a minimal impact on canopy weight.
The Tech
Intuitive and efficient Angle of Attack control, a proven airfoil design, and optimised internal structure make the Alpina 4 GT an XC glide machine. The super strong structure reduces aerodynamic losses, even in aggressive turbulence the profile remains strong, retaining its shape and efficiency without performance loss from chordwise deformation.
The Ozone Active Control Risers, allow full AoA control throughout the speed range without deforming the camber of the profile. The ACR system acts on B & C lines giving close-to-2-liner control with the reassurance of a 3-liner design.
In Flight
The Alpina 4 GT is up to 900g lighter than the Delta 5. The reduction in sail weight delivers the handling and performance benefits that come with lower inertia — crisper and more agile feel, more sensitivity in the climb and better collapse behaviour. The reduced weight also makes it nicer to carry.
retains the low sink rate of the Alpina/Delta 4 for very good thermalling efficiency and cuts through the air gaining altitude in the gusts much like a competition wing. The glide performance throughout the speedrange is the best that can be expected in the category.
forgiving collapse behaviour is thanks to a relatively low aspect ratio, complex internal structure and line architecture and by optimised wing twist. The Alpina 4 GT has a well proven track record as a safe forgiving wing with little tendency to shoot or rotate after side collapse and good frontal behaviour.Alpina 4 GT Ozone
Thanks to the Ozone Shark Nose profile, the wing is resistant to spin and stall, and can be flown safely at low speed making top landings, or landings in tight spots, simple for a wing of this class.Alpina 4 GT Ozone
The brakes are linear — precise in the first part of the range and effective in the second. It is easy to adjust the angle of bank and to place the wing exactly where you want in the core. Strong chord structure and high sail cohesion make for highly coordinated roll/yaw and an agile, exciting feel.Alpina 4 GT Ozone
The GT Range
GT stands for Gran Turismo or Grand Tourer, and is our semi-light glider range, providing the in-flight benefits of a lower canopy weight and the robustness close to a standard weight wing with better longevity than dedicated light wings. The GT range is an expression of our true-performance promise; light, agile and safe with class leading performance in the most demanding conditions.Alpina 4 GT Ozone
