Duotone Evo SLS 2027 Kitesurfing Kite
The Duotone Evo SLS 2027 is a high-performance all-round kite for riders who want one kite to cover fast freeride sessions, boosting, freestyle progression and wave riding. Available in Red/Purple C10 and Light Lime/Gray C09, it blends the familiar, intuitive Evo feel with the quicker response and crisper feedback of Duotone’s SLS construction.
The Penta TX leading edge and centre strut create a stiff, light-feeling frame that responds directly through the bar. A refined canopy profile, slimmer struts and a 6-point bridle keep the kite composed when the wind is gusty, helping it climb quickly, generate vertical lift and remain predictable while powered.
Why choose the Evo SLS?
- One kite, a wide range: confident freeride handling with the performance to boost, loop, ride waves and develop freestyle skills.
- Explosive lift with control: quick climb, stable flight and useful hangtime make the kite rewarding for jumps, rotations and stylish transitions.
- Direct, clean steering: the stiffer SLS frame and reduced strut flex give fast, precise feedback without making the kite intimidating.
- Built for real conditions: progressive bar pressure and canopy tension keep the feel settled when the wind changes.
Construction highlights
- Penta TX frame in the leading edge and centre strut for a crisp, responsive feel.
- Trinity TX canopy and MOD 3S reinforcement for a durable, stable canopy.
- 6-point bridle for smooth power delivery and dependable stability.
