Comfortable high-performance XC harness for longest flights. The Forza 2's passive safety, stability, and ease of use make it ideal for big distance.
The Forza 2 is a complex and feature rich harness that is comfortable and easy to fly in real XC conditions. Ozone's spent over three years of development on this project and the many prototypes have undergone hundreds of hours of test flying by some of the world's best XC pilots. Their mission for the Forza 2 was to create an aerodynamic, durable, and highly comfortable tool for serious XC missions. This new design is the highest performance traditional-fairing harness Ozone have flown.
Supplied with the new structure and full package.

* Harness weight is measured with foam protection, seat-plate, carabiners, rescue handle, reserve bridles, safety knife and speed-bar. Weights and may vary up to 50gm per size due to slight variations in the manufacturing of the fabric used. The M size speedbag weighs around 1100gr. The seat protector weight is 550gr.
** Both compartments will accept most modern rescue parachutes including the Angel SQ 140 and steerable Rogallo types. The harness is delivered with bridles and shoulder mounting maillons (see package).

Forza 2: Comfortable high-performance XC
The Forza 2 is a complex and feature rich harness that is comfortable and easy to fly in real XC conditions. We spent over three years of development on this project and the many prototypes have undergone hundreds of hours of test flying. Our mission for the Forza 2 was to create an aerodynamic, durable, and highly comfortable tool for serious XC missions.
The Forza 2’s rigidity is carefully engineered. The backrest is anatomically designed to support every part of the pilot’s back. Foams of varied thickness and density are arranged for exceptional lumbar comfort. The seat has a small seat plate which provides the ideal level of rigidity and excellent weight shift control, with a support zone that is comfortable to rest in for many hours. A massive protector covers the entire back, and the seat protector is low profile but highly effective. The harness closure has colour coded buckles and the pod closure system protects against forgotten leg straps.
Two huge and easily accessible side pockets, a zipped pocket above the pod, a large and convenient cockpit, battery pocket, under seat storage, and a large rear storage area with hydration pouch and access / mounts for hydration tubes, and a ballast outlet / catheter exit point under the seat.
The large rear fairing profile improves the glide and stability of the harness. Many accelerated flight tests were conducted to refine the shape, angle of attack, and functionality of the pod and rear fairing. The pod and the pod closure systems are secure and functional during intensive speed bar usage without excessive flapping.
Two reserve compartments with a magnet closure system provide a large opening while maintaining a smooth and aerodynamic outer surface. The rescue handles are accessible and easy to grip, while also being well-integrated with the outer surfaces.
All Ozone products now undergo an eco-audit, where we endeavour to optimise the sustainability of our products. The Forza 2 is highly durable, and easy to repair. The materials were chosen judiciously to be highly resistant to wear in the critical area, and we used as much Bluesign fabric as possible in the design.
Summary

The Structure
The Forza 2's rigidity is carefully engineered. The backrest is anatomically designed to support every part of the pilot's back. Foams of varied thickness and density are arranged for exceptional lumbar comfort. The seat has a small seat plate which provides the ideal level of rigidity and excellent weight shift control, with a support zone that is comfortable to rest in for many hours. A massive protector covers the entire back, and the seat protector is low profile but highly effective.
The harness closure has color coded buckles and the pod closure system protects against forgotten leg straps.
Storage
Two huge and easily accessible side pockets, a zipped pocket above the pod, a large and convenient cockpit, battery pocket, under seat storage, and a large rear storage area with hydration pouch and access / mounts for hydration tubes, and a ballast outlet / catheter exit point under the seat.
Aerodynamics and Performance in Flight
The large rear fairing profile improves the glide and stability of the harness. Many accelerated flight tests were conducted to refine the shape, angle of attack, and functionality of the pod and rear fairing.
The pod and the pod closure are secure and functional during intensive speed bar usage.
Reserve Compartments
Two reserve compartments with a magnet closure system provide a large opening while maintaining a smooth and aerodynamic outer surface. The rescue handles are accessible and easy to grip, while also being well-integrated with the outer surfaces.
Sustainability
All Ozone products now undergo an eco-audit, where they endeavor to optimize the sustainability of the product. The Forza 2 is highly durable, and easy to repair. The materials were chosen judiciously to be highly resistant to wear in the critical area, and Ozone used as much Bluesign fabric as possible in the design.
Features
Back Protection
The Forza 2 comes as standard with an under seat 17cm LTF/CE certified foam protector and a full length back comfort foam. The under seat protector is designed to absorb heavy impacts by dissipating the air through the seams, progressively and smoothly.
Materials
- Fabric: Ripstop 70D certified Oeko-Tex and Bluesign, Ripstop 40D, 210D, 600D Kodra, Softshell Lycra
- Main webbing: Gurth and Wolf 25mm Polyester.
- Buckles: AustriAlpin Cobra Buckle
- Carabiners: Edelrid Alias
Pod Closure
The harness closure has colour coded buckles and the pod closure system protects against forgotten leg straps.
Reserve Parachute System
The Forza 2 features double integrated reserve parachute compartments suitable for parachutes with volumes between 3 and6ltrs. Both compartments will accept most modern rescue parachutes including the Angel SQ 140 and steerable Rogallo types.
Seat Board
The seat has a small seat plate which provides the ideal level of rigidity and excellent weight shift control.
Speed system
The Forza 2 is delivered with a fitted speed bar and additional attachment points suitable for ratchet style pulleys.
Hydration
The Forza 2 includes a hydration access system with an opening on the right hand side of the top pocket and an anchor point on the right hand shoulder strap for your hydration tube.
Urine Extraction System
The Forza 2 includes a urine extraction system for pee tubes in the form of a hole found at the bottom of the pod.
Certification
The Forza 2 is certified EN1651:2018+A1:2020 and NFL 2-565-20 with a maximum load of 120kgs. In addition, the under seat protection conforms to the CE regulations by Alienor (France).
