Duotone Neo SLS
Wave
In search of the best wave-riding performance? The Neo D/LAB is the most advanced wave kite available, featuring an Aluula frame that delivers otherworldly performance. Prepare to have you mind blown with this incredible addition to the Duotone line up.
Key Features:
- Simply The Best Drift
The Neo is famous for its incredible drifting abilities; the D/LAB version is up to 30% lighter than the original version, allowing the kite to float down the line in a manner you would not think possible.
- Dynamic Handling/Hybrid Flex Strut
The turning speed and the steering impulse of the Neo is exceedingly quick due to the new Flex Strut Design. The new Aluula fabric makes the kite incredibly light while also creating a stiffer, more responsive frame and each kite has been carefully fine-tuned for performance, the Flex Strut was individually designed to each size of the kite.
- Unrivaled Steering even when Depowered
One of the unique and enchanting features of the Neo D/LAB is its ability to be direct and dynamic, even when the bar is pushed out and the kite is depowered. This feature allows you to ride the wave how you like without thinking about bar and kite control as much.
- Incredibly Powerful with Massive Depower
The range of the Neo D/LAB is unbelievable! It has a huge bottom end, thanks to the lighter Aluula material, meaning you can get going on a smaller kite before other riders. Coupled with impressive depower, it has you out riding for longer when the wind picks up, and you can get away with a smaller quiver.
- D/Lab Construction
This helps to reduce the overall weight of the kite and improve performance by making the frame stiffer. In addition, materials like Aluula and Trinity TX make the kite exceedingly light while offering excellent durability.
- Geometry Tuned to Size
The larger kites have been designed to use a wider arc and have less sweep in the tips, maximizing power. At the same time, the smaller sizes have more sweep and a narrower arc focusing on maneuverability.
