What's New from Duotone for 2027 — Kites, Wings, Boards and Foils
Quick answer: Duotone's 2027 range lands between August 2026 and spring 2027. On the kite side: new Evo D/LAB (August), Rebel SLS, Neo SLS, Neo and Dice SLS (September), Evo SLS (October), all SLS kites moving to higher pump pressures, plus updated Click and Trust bars. On the wing side: the Unit in D/LAB, SLS and Original, a reshaped Skybrid in D/LAB and SLS, the new Glide 3.0 and Pop D/LAB foils and a Crest SLS — all September 2026. This page is the index: one short summary per product, and a link to the full guide for each.
We've written a set of guides to the 2027 Duotone range, each built from Duotone's product information and what we actually have in stock at the shop in Whitstable. Rather than one enormous post, each guide answers one buying question. Start with whichever one you're asking.
Kitesurfing
Which Duotone kite? Evo vs Rebel vs Neo vs Dice
The range explained by discipline. Evo is the all-rounder, Rebel the big-air kite, Neo the wave kite, Dice the freestyle/wave crossover, with Juice, Mono and Vegas covered too. Includes Duotone's construction comparison, wind ranges by size for every new 2027 model, bar and line sizes, and what's on our shelf.
Duotone Evo 2027: D/LAB vs SLS vs Original
The three Evo constructions side by side — Aluula D/TX, PentaTX and Dacron — with wind ranges for every size, pump pressures, bar sizes and prices. Evo D/LAB from August 2026, Evo SLS (including the undyed Concept Blue) from October, Evo Original available now.
Pump pressures, Click Bar and Trust Bar 2027
Original 7 psi, SLS 9 psi up to 10 m and 8 psi from 11 m, D/LAB 10 psi — and why the SLS numbers went up. What's new on the September 2026 Click Bar and Trust Bar, and which bar width and line length each kite takes.

Wing foiling
Duotone Unit 2027: D/LAB vs SLS vs Original
Same shape, same sizes, same wind ranges across all three — the difference is the frame: Aluula Gold, PentaTX with an Aluula centre panel, or Dacron. Which one is worth the money for the north Kent coast, with prices from £859. All three September 2026.
Duotone Skybrid 2027: D/LAB vs SLS vs the 2026
The reshaped mid-length board in hollow-shell D/LAB (3.4–4.1 kg) and SLS, five sizes from 60 to 100 litres, September 2026. Why the narrower 2027 size range matters, how it compares to the 2026 Skybrid SLS we have in stock (45–130 litres), and where the Paradox SLS and Midfish fit.
Which Duotone foil? Glide 3.0 vs Crest vs Carve 3.0 vs Pop
The map of the foil range: Lift and Free 2.0 for learning, the new Glide 3.0 for pumping, gliding, downwind and parawing, Crest for waves and prone, Carve 3.0 for surf and kite foiling, and the new Pop D/LAB for freestyle. Sizes, aspect ratios, which mast and tail go with what, and our recommendation for Whitstable.
