Duotone Evo SLS Concept Blue Kite 2027

The Duotone Evo SLS is a High Performance Allround Kite designed for riders seeking versatility, explosive jumping performance, and dynamic handling across Freeride, Freestyle, loops, and wave riding.

Built with Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction, the Evo SLS combines increased frame stiffness, optimized canopy tension, and refined aerodynamics for powerful lift, extended hangtime, and highly responsive steering. The refined frame construction, thinner stiffer struts, and increased inflation pressures create fast reactions, stable handling, and direct feedback across a wide wind range. The Evo SLS delivers a unique balance between sporty performance and intuitive control, making it one of the most versatile and accessible high-performance Kites in the Duotone range. This Concept Blue version features undyed fabrics, a bio-based bladder, and recycled polymer components, combining high-performance characteristics with selected alternative material innovations inspired by Duotone’s Concept Blue philosophy.

Key Features:

• The performance Allrounder for progressive riders: A versatile and sporty Allround Kite designed for Freeride, jumping, and wave riding in all conditions.
• Explosive lift and dynamic jumping: The stiff SLS frame and refined canopy profile generate fast climb speed and powerful vertical take-offs.
• Outstanding hangtime for technical tricks: Improved shape stability and cleaner airflow allow longer float and greater control during aerial manoeuvres.
• Maximum control across all conditions: Progressive bar pressure and increased canopy tension deliver stable and predictable handling even when powered.
• Stable, responsive handling under load: Thin and stiff struts reduce unwanted flex while maintaining fast turning and precise control during aggressive riding.
• SLS construction for maximum agility: Higher inflation pressure creates a stiffer and lighter-feeling frame for faster reactions and direct steering response.

Technology:

• Kook Proof Connectors: The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.
• Anti Snag: The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite. Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased.
• Micro Batten Construction: The Micro Batten Construction is 40% lighter compared to regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight and provides a cleaner and sleeker look of the kite without compromising durability or performance.
• Micro Loop Connections: The Duotone Micro Loop Connection is 40% smaller than in regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight on the leading edge.
• Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction: The Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction increases the overall strength, stiffness, and direct flight stability of the airframe. Additional this is the lightest construction you can create for a kite.
• Penta TX Frame Construction: Penta TX, the guarantee for a more sporty, more precise and crisp feel of the kite, achieved by 15% less overall weight and a five times higher tear resistance. Penta TX replaces Dacron and is showing 50% less elongation compared to standard Dacron. Penta T is a quite stiff material, resulting in a high structural stiffness, especially recognizable in strong wind conditions, leading to less deformation of the overall structure of the kite. It’s responsible for a very precise timing when edging, releasing the edge and all steering impulses – the precise and reliable steering of a racing car. Penta TX is used in the leading edge and the center strut.
• Trinity TX: Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials to marine sports. The combined creative power of Duotone Kiteboarding saw the formulation of TRINITY TX. Exclusive to Duotone Kiteboarding, TRINITY TX is a 3×2 canopy material, which has proven to be far superior to other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance. The 3×2 yarn combination has proven to be the best solution in performance as well as durability, overall superior to any 2×2 or 4×4 yarn solutions. TRINITY TX. Made to stand the test of time.
• MOD 3S: The MOD 3S is evolutionary in kite canopy technology, offering enhanced strength and stability. This innovative material provides three times the tear resistance and significantly less stretch compared to previous generations, ensuring that your kite performs at its peak in even the most demanding conditions.
• Single Stitch Trailing Edge: The Single Stitch Trailing Edge is a refined design feature that minimizes weight and reduces flutter, enhancing the kite’s overall durability and performance. By streamlining the construction, we’ve achieved a cleaner, more aerodynamic profile that not only improves efficiency but also extends the kite’s lifespan.
• 6-Point Bridle: The new 6-Point Bridle System supports the frame of the kite, keeping the leading edge stable and compact. It ensures smooth and direct power transmission, expands the usable wind range, and maintains reliable stability even in strong gusts.
