2024 F-ONE Breeze V4 Review 

Synopsis

The F-ONE Breeze V4 is recognized for its lightweight design and exceptional handling, making it an excellent choice for light-wind freeriding and foiling. The kite presents a softer, balanced, and stable feel, designed to perform well across its wind range without having an overwhelming low-end grunt.

Likes

The Breeze V4 stands out for its lighter and softer feel, maintaining stability and balance which makes it particularly enjoyable for foil riders. The turning is described as responsive, favoring an easy arc over a tight pivot, which aligns well with riders seeking smooth and controlled maneuvers rather than aggressive turns. The pivot turns are very low pull allowing the rider to transition on a foil quickly without the kite pulling the rider in an unwanted direction. The use of new materials like HITEX 158g for the inflatable structure and NANO canopy 55g across the entire canopy enhances the kite’s resistance to elongation, durability, and overall performance. These materials contribute to the kite’s lightness and stability, improving steering, maneuverability, and reducing aerodynamic disturbances. The Breeze V4 is praised for its intuitive flight characteristics, allowing riders to focus on their ride rather than kite control, which benefits both beginners and advanced riders. The handling is fine-tuned across all sizes, ensuring responsiveness in larger sizes and optimized control in stronger winds for the smaller ones.

Drawbacks

While the Breeze V4 is optimized for light wind conditions and foiling, riders seeking a kite with significant low-end power for more aggressive styles may find it lacking in this aspect. However, its versatility and stable performance in a wide range of conditions will likely appeal to a broad spectrum of riders.

Users

The F-ONE Breeze V4 is ideal for riders of all levels who are looking for a lightweight, user-friendly kite that excels in light wind conditions. Its stability and effortless control make it perfect for light-wind freeriding, wave riding, and especially foiling. Whether you are a beginner looking to improve your skills or an advanced rider seeking a reliable light-wind kite, the Breeze V4 offers a comprehensive solution that combines ease of use with high-end performance.
