OZONE BUZZ Z7 – The Perfect Progression Wing
If you’re seeking a wing that masterfully blends safety, comfort, and performance, the OZONE BUZZ Z7 is designed precisely for you. In fact, it offers an ideal balance for pilots transitioning from school gliders into the world of real adventure flying. Moreover, it empowers pilots to grow confidently while enjoying a performance level that continues to impress, flight after flight.
Next-Level Comfort Meets High-Efficiency Design
With the BUZZ Z7, Ozone has not just made small improvements—they’ve taken a significant leap. Because of its advanced profile and carefully engineered internal structure, the glider delivers noticeable gains in glide, climb, and overall efficiency. Additionally, the improved SharkNose design enhances pitch stability and comfort, especially in active air.
Not only does this make thermaling easier, but it also inspires confidence when conditions become more dynamic.
Smooth Handling with Crisp Feedback
Unlike many gliders in its class, the OZONE BUZZ Z7 delivers highly responsive, yet forgiving handling. As a result, pilots can carve turns with surgical precision while maintaining full control. Furthermore, brake inputs translate instantly into action, making thermal centering far more intuitive. And while it offers an agile feel, it still retains the damping necessary for newer XC pilots.
Consequently, you’ll enjoy both fun and feedback—without ever feeling overwhelmed.
Engineered for Real Adventure of OZONE BUZZ Z7
Because the BUZZ Z7 is lightweight yet durable, it’s not only perfect for everyday flying but also for hike-and-fly or light cross-country adventures. In fact, Ozone’s use of high-performance materials ensures excellent packability without sacrificing longevity. So, whether you’re launching from your local ridge or planning a backcountry soaring session, the BUZZ Z7 rises to the occasion.
Moreover, its progressive design keeps up as your skills grow, meaning this wing stays with you longer on your paragliding journey.
Step Up with Confidence and Control
Ultimately, the OZONE BUZZ Z7 is the wing of choice for pilots looking to bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate levels. Because of its accessible handling, advanced safety features, and genuine performance boost, it becomes more than just a progression—it’s a launchpad for future adventures.
- New planform with increased wing sweep for improved roll stability
- New rib alignment for improved airflow and efficiency.
- New tab positioning improves stability in accelerated flight.
- New leading edge construction with more reinforcement and cleaner profile.
- New line rigging for improved load-distribution to increase agility.
- New panel shaping in the trailing edge for improved handling and brake response.
All of these refinements have improved flight characteristics and performance. The first thing you will notice is a more linear and direct response in the brakes and the resulting increase in agility and precision of handling. Top speed has also been increased, and glide performance improved throughout the accelerator range.
This category of wing is highly important to us as it serves such a wide range of pilots, and the Z7 is the most efficient wing we have ever produced in its “True B” class. It is designed for pilots who want a fun and capable XC wing with the best passive safety available at this level.
OZONE BUZZ Z7
The sail is constructed from the same materials for an ideal blend of durability and lightness, and the lower lines are now fully sheathed and colour-coordinated for ease of use and reliability on launch. Our new risers also make launch prep simpler, and flight more comfortable.
The sail weight is unchanged, still light enough to retain excellent inflation characteristics in all conditions. The leading edge has received particular attention in the design process with new reinforcements which increase solidity in the nose throughout the speed range. This new reinforcement also has the effect of eliminating flutter at top speed, and makes the wing more efficient when flown accelerated.
The pilot
The Z7 is aimed at pilots who fly 30 to 50 hours a year and who are looking for a dependable wing for their first cross country flights with high levels of passive safety.Ozone SwiftMAX 2
