The Duotone Neo SLS is the high-performance version of the legendary Neo, designed for advanced wave and Strapless Freestyle riders seeking faster steering, more direct feedback, and a sportier riding character.
Featuring Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction and a one-piece center strut design, the Neo SLS delivers increased torsional compliance for faster turning and exceptional drift performance in committed down-the-line surfing. The refined and stiffer structure creates immediate Bar feedback and highly precise control in demanding wave conditions.
With its massive wind range, direct handling, and dynamic feel, the Neo SLS is built for riders demanding maximum performance and responsiveness for the demands of modern wave riding.
Key features
-
The high-performance Wave Kite for committed riders: A more direct, precise, and performance-focused Neo designed for riders pushing hard in demanding wave conditions.
-
Exceptional wave performance with fast, controlled steering: The one-piece center strut increases torsional compliance for faster turning and precise positioning during down-the-line surfing.
-
Outstanding drift for aggressive down-the-line surfing: Excellent drift performance keeps the Kite stable with slack lines for natural and aggressive wave riding.
-
Instant Bar feedback for precise, sporty control: The refined and stiffer structure delivers immediate steering feedback and highly reactive canopy response.
-
Massive wind range for high-performance riding: The rigid and balanced airframe remains stable and predictable across a wide range of wind conditions.
-
Direct, lively feel for dynamic Wave riding: Optimized structural stiffness combined with controlled flex creates a highly responsive and sporty riding sensation.
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.
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.
