Description

Texte du fabricant, en anglais

Built for riders demanding the highest level of Wave performance, the Duotone Neo SLS takes everything that made the Neo legendary and elevates it into a more direct, sportier, and performance-focused package. Designed for committed Wave riders and progressive Strapless Freestyle athletes, the Neo SLS delivers exceptional precision, faster steering response, and an incredibly dynamic riding feel in the most demanding conditions. Developed with Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction philosophy, the Neo SLS combines reduced weight, increased structural stiffness, and optimized torsional compliance to create a Kite that feels exceptionally alive and reactive on the wave. Every steering input translates instantly into direct canopy response, allowing riders to place the kite precisely where needed during fast, technical surfing manoeuvres. A key element of the Neo SLS performance character is the one-piece center strut construction. This design increases torsional compliance, allowing the Kite to twist more efficiently through turns and react faster during committed down-the-line riding. The result is incredibly fast and controlled steering that keeps the Kite perfectly positioned in the pocket while maintaining exceptional drift and stability. Outstanding drift remains one of the Neo SLS’s defining characteristics. Even when riding aggressively with slack lines, the kite stays composed and effortlessly follows the rider down the line, allowing complete focus on the wave without unwanted pull or disruption. Compared to the standard Neo, the Neo SLS delivers noticeably more direct bar feedback and a sharper overall riding sensation. The stiffer, highly refined structure provides immediate steering response and precise reactions through critical wave sections, making the Kite especially appealing for advanced riders seeking maximum control and performance. The rigid and balanced airframe additionally delivers an impressive wind range, remaining stable and predictable from marginal conditions to fully powered wave sessions. Sizes from 5 to 10m should be pumped to 9 PSI and sizes 11 and 12m to 8PSI, for optimum performance. Whether riding fast reef breaks, technical onshore conditions, or powerful surf, the Neo SLS maintains composure, responsiveness, and confidence at all times. Trusted by high-performance wave riders and World Champions, built for those pushing their limits in every session, the Duotone Neo SLS represents a dynamic and performance-driven Neo platform.

Technologies

Texte du fabricant, en anglais

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.

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.

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 3x2 canopy material, which has proven to be far superior to other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance. The 3x2 yarn combination has proven to be the best solution in performance as well as durability, overall superior to any 2x2 or 4x4 yarn solutions. TRINITY TX. Made to stand the test of time.

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.

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.

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.

Hybrid Flex Struts

The new Hybrid Flex Strut offers the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. The turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These features are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases.

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.

Double-V Pigtails

These pigtails distribute the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, making the kite less prone to distortion and helps it to steer more smoothly.
