Technical features▼
Updated Pigtail Construction
The updated pigtail construction is sleeved only where necessary, featuring a 1.7mm Flite line without monofilament for a super clean setup, taking simplicity to the next level.
FLITE99 2.0 Backlines
"The FLITE99 2.0 Backlines come in following measurements: 1.3mm SK99 Lines in blue featuring: Left Side: Red Monofil Right Side: Black Monofil The 1.3mm Lines offer up to date performance characteristics whilst ensuring reliability."
Integrated eva floater flip - flop function
The moulded EVA floater is fully integrated into the winding posts to offer a seamless connection, which gives better protection to the lines and the rider. The integration of the EVA floater also avoids line tangling and gives better overall stiffness between the bar and lines. To achieve better and more direct feedback on the thumb, we added a push pin on the outside of the winding post for easy operation. The Flip-Flop function allows you to switch between a 42 cm and 49 cm bar width (S / M bar) with just one click. This makes the procedure of changing the bar set up far simpler.
V-Distributor III
The Duotone V-Distributor III can be adjusted easily, allowing you to set the front line to split quickly. It can also be removed entirely, very easily, so you can have a very low V. This makes the Click Bar and Trust Bar compatible with most Kites on the market.
FLITE99 2.0+ Frontlines
"The FLITE99 2.0+ frontlines come in the following measurements: 1.5mm SK99 Lines in grey color, with: Left Side: Red Monofil Right Side: Black Monofil These lines boast a 20% higher breaking load, enhancing your safety and performance on the water."
Low V-Distributor Trust Bar
Twists the front lines by 90° and allows an optional low V setup.
Plastic fitted centre hole
The exchangeable insert for the centre hole is made of plastic to minimize wear on the depower line. The material we use is resistant to abrasion, and will cause much less damage, if sand is present, to the line itself.
Roto Head
The Roto Head permits you to untangle the lines after a rotational jump or a kiteloop while you are riding. It is made from an extremely durable plastic construction where no corrosion is possible. The Roto Head comes with two grub screws making it easy and fast to change the depower line. Simply use an FCS fin key to remove the screws and change the depower line.
Iron Heart VI Click-In safety system
The Iron Heart VI Click-In Safety System is a reliable safety feature that ensures quick release in critical situations.
Suicide Ring
The Suicide Ring allows you to set up a Suicide System while keeping the ring and the leash up and out of the way of the Chicken Loop. This increases your ability to quickly hook in and out after Freestyle tricks. This setup is not recommended by Duotone!
Winding Posts
The Winding Posts are made of a fully moulded fibreglass reinforced Polyamide construction, which offers an incredibly lightweight solution with increased stiffness. In addition to this, there is a moulded EVA cushioning to ensure maximum comfort for the rider. The Winding Posts feature an integrated Back Line adjustment, which allows the rider to trim the rear lines when needed. ATTENTION: Never ride without the cover. It prevents the knot of the leader line from slipping out of its housing.
