I have been using Ozone Access kites for my buggy engine. The Access are good low wind, depower and stable flying kites for my buggy. I want to add a kite and am considering a Ozone Frenzy. Will the increase in price be worth the higher performance for buggy flying? Just what will the increase in performance be? Better upwind, speed, more responsive, more power, low wind, depower, OBE increase or what. Maybe the Frenzy is not as good as the Access for buggying. I buggy beach and dunes with a BigFoot.

Other than the OBE part, those are the differences I notice between the Montanas and Apex from HQ. I'm not sure the low wind performance is that much different, can't say for sure. The Montanas are fantastic kites. I've never flown a Frenzy for comparison.

Although I have not flown the frenzy I believe it is a lofty kite better suited for ATB or snow kiting.

southpadreburt, you might call and chat with Jeff Howard. He used to buggy and is the Ozone distributor and I'm fairly sure he's snow kite'd with all the Ozone depower foils before. I see some ultralight Frenzy's listed:

I have buggied with the frenzies. Its just as Bobby said. The obe is increased but you get the added speed and upwind performance.

Low wind and depower performance I consider the same in the 2 models.

Stability in the 2 is also very close. The access is more stable of course but the frenzy is not far behind. They are too close to make a decision on them based on this.

If you want more speed and better upwind then the frenzies would be a good option. If your happy with the speed and upwind of the access then stick with them and have a less chance of obe.
