Product Description
The Duotone Evo SLS is a performance-driven kite designed for progressive riders. With its innovative materials and superior performance characteristics, it provides explosive lift, maximum hangtime, and excellent control in versatile conditions.
The Evo SLS, the ultimate performance allrounder designed for progressive riders who seek versatility across freeride, freestyle, and even wave riding. Built with advanced Penta TX and Trinity TX materials, the Evo SLS delivers explosive lift, dynamic jumping, and outstanding hangtime, making it the go-to kite for technical tricks and high-performance sessions.
Engineered for maximum control across all conditions, the Evo SLS empowers riders to push their limits with confidence. Its SLS (strong, light, superior) construction enhances agility, ensuring that every maneuver feels responsive and effortless. One of the standout features of the Evo SLS is its faster turning capability, which results in a more playful feel on the water.
The refined tip construction features more aggressive tapering and an additional leading edge segment, significantly increasing steering speed and responsiveness. This allows for quick adjustments to your direction, whether you’re carving through waves or preparing for a freestyle trick.
The Evo SLS offers improved bar feedback and handling, thanks to changes made to the canopy attachment at the tip. This results in a cleaner and more balanced bar feel, establishing a better connection between rider and kite, crucial for effective control during dynamic conditions. With enhanced steering responsiveness, the Evo SLS provides more intuitive handling.
The better transfer of steering forces into the canopy allows for a more direct and predictable reaction to bar input, giving riders the confidence to execute complex maneuvers. Moreover, reduced tip flutter during loops and tight turns is achieved through structural improvements in the tip area.
This minimizes flutter during aggressive maneuvers, enhancing control and precision to ensure that your transitions are seamless and your movements are sharp. The kite's performance is further optimized with better loop and catch capabilities.
With increased turning speed and stability, kiteloops are quicker, and the kite catches more reliably after a rotation, enabling you to focus on nailing your tricks without hesitation.
Experience the freedom and versatility of the Duotone Evo SLS 2026, the performance “can do it all” kite that adapts to your style and challenges you to reach new heights, whether you’re cruising the waves or launching into the air.
Key features
Explosive Lift and Dynamic Jumping: With a responsive profile and fast power delivery, the Evo SLS launches into the air with impressive energy—ideal for big jumps and powered takeoffs.
Maximum Control: Balanced bar pressure and tuned steering deliver precise feedback and consistent control, even in challenging or gusty wind conditions.
Outstanding Hangtime: The refined shape and structural stability allow for long, floaty airs, giving you time and control to style out your tricks or enjoy smooth landings.
SLS Construction: The Strong Light Superior (SLS) build reduces weight and increases rigidity—resulting in faster response, improved agility, and elevated overall performance.
The Performance Allrounder for Progressive Riders: The Evo SLS is built for riders who demand high-end performance in every discipline—delivering a perfect mix of lift, control, and agility for freeride, freestyle, and more.
Technical features▼
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.
Flex Struts
The counterpart to a stiff frame are the Flex Struts, between middle and tip struts. They ensure a direct and very reactive feel of SLS kites. The agaility of a three strut kite, combined with the stiffness and the solid frame of a 5 strut kite. A softer material enables the Flex Struts to bend and twist in a defined way. Steering impulses are transformed smoothly and fast into turning actions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
