Rebel SLS

Texte du fabricant, en anglais

The Duotone Rebel SLS is built for riders seeking maximum hangtime, explosive vertical lift, and precise control in every Big Air session. Combining Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction with refined aerodynamic efficiency and increased structural stiffness, the Rebel SLS delivers an exceptionally direct and powerful riding experience for ambitious Freeriders and dedicated Big Air athletes. Known for its iconic lift and legendary hangtime, the Rebel SLS generates explosive vertical takeoffs with intuitive timing and remarkable flight stability. The highly efficient airframe accelerates rapidly overhead when sheeting in, creating the signature “Sheet and Go” feeling that allows riders to access massive jumps with minimal effort while maintaining full control throughout the takeoff phase. Once airborne, the Rebel SLS reveals one of its most defining characteristics: extended float and incredibly controlled airtime. A cleaner canopy profile, reduced drag characteristics, and refined frame stiffness improve overall lift efficiency, allowing riders to stay longer at the apex of jumps with exceptional stability and steering precision throughout the entire flight phase. This creates the ideal platform for board-offs, controlled rotations, technical tricks, and progressive Big Air manoeuvres. Designed for modern high-performance riding, the Rebel SLS also delivers powerful yet highly predictable Kite loops with impressive control and reliable recovery. Increased inflation pressures combined with optimized Leading Edge geometry maintain stability and canopy integrity throughout the loop, generating strong pull while ensuring clean catches and confidence-inspiring loop recovery. Direct and highly precise bar feedback further enhances rider confidence in demanding conditions and extreme riding situations. Thanks to increased structural stiffness and advanced seam technology, every steering input transfers instantly into direct canopy reaction, delivering precise positioning, immediate feedback, and complete control during aggressive takeoffs and high-altitude manoeuvres. Despite its impressive Big Air capabilities, the Rebel SLS remains stable, balanced, and surprisingly accessible across a wide wind range, offering ambitious Freeriders a highly confidence-inspiring ride while fully satisfying experienced riders pushing the limits of height, loops, and progression. For riders looking for a more eco conscious material approach, the Rebel SLS is also available as a Concept Blue version featuring undyed fabrics, a bio-based bladder with up to 57% bio-based carbon content, and polymer components made from post-industry partly recycled material. The Rebel SLS Concept Blue combines the same legendary Big Air performance and high-performance Freeride characteristics with selected material innovations inspired by Duotone’s ongoing Concept Blue philosophy. Engineered for riders demanding explosive lift, massive hangtime, direct steering response, and precision control, the Duotone Rebel SLS continues to define High Performance Freeride and Big Air riding.
