DUOTONE - NEO SLS 2024

NEW FOR 2024, THE NEO SLS HAS BEEN EVEN MORE IMPROVED TO IMPROVE ITS HANDLING, MAKING THE KITE SMOOTHER AND TURNING EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE. IF YOU WANT THE ULTIMATE BALANCE BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND POWER IN A WAVE KITE, THIS IS YOUR ONE!

Duotone Neo SLS 2024

The new Neo SLS builds on the incredible legacy of previous years and further improves the driver experience. With hybrid flex struts, which are now straighter and a wider, squarer wingtip shape show that the focus was on further improving the kite's handling. The result is a kite with smoother handling, faster steering and a shorter tank stroke, allowing you to dump power instantly. The hybrid flex struts are controlled by the precision-tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 fitted to each size. The percentage of flexible material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases. The new wingtips open and flex when under pressure from the trailing lines, making for super-fast and almost instantaneous turn initiation. The legendary wind range remains, with plenty of low-end power, allowing you to pull off any conditions, while the top end keeps you on the water longer. The Neo SLS features a Penta TX and Trinity TX construction, which combines lightweight materials and exceptional durability, resulting in a kite that is noticeably lighter than regular constructions. This weight reduction improves the drift capabilities of the Neo SLS, allowing you to effortlessly execute your moves on the wave without worrying about the kite. Even when riding with the bar out, the Neo SLS maintains its dynamic handling and steering, ensuring you retain full control as you ride the wave.

The responsiveness of the kite remains unchanged, providing a seamless experience throughout your session. To ensure the kite can be versatile and meet the demands of riders and strapless free riders, the NEO SLS offers multiple configurations on the tips, allowing you to tailor the kite's performance to the specific conditions of the day. Whether you're enjoying a flat-water strapless freestyle session or playing in the waves, you can set the kite for maximum pop and powerful loops or tune it for maximum drift and fast turning speed, depending on your preference. and the nature of the session. The Neo SLS has long set a standard for wave riding performance, and this year the improved performance takes the kite to new levels, both in the waves and in the air.

Duotone Neo SLS 2024 Features

• Modern Trailing Edge: A narrower trailing edge and lighter combination of materials to reduce wear and create a more gliding kite profile
• Load distribution panels: As kite geometry improves, the body must continue to resist the increased forces. To disperse those forces, we use load distribution panels, maintaining the kite's shape even under the most extreme loads. In practice, this provides smoother and more consistent performance of the kite in any situation
• Double-V pigtails: These pigtails distribute the load from the connection lines to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, and making the kite less prone to deformation, and also helps the direction of the kite is smoother.
• Kook proof connectors: Kook proof line connection points prevent accidents, ensuring you can't accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when riding.
• Super reinforced leading edge seam: The leading edges of all our kites are extremely durable thanks to their super reinforced sealing seam. The Dacron material on the leading edge is reinforced with Insignia tape and additional double stitching. The super-reinforced leading edge seam is highly resistant to strong tensions and diagonal forces.
• Hybrid Flex Strut: The new Hybrid Flex Strut gives the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. Turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These characteristics are controlled by the ratio of Penta TX and STW70 precisely adjusted to each size. The percentage of flexible material in the ribs decreases as size increases.
• Anti-snag Tape: Anti-snag tape prevents lines from tangling around the end of the kite. This increases the security and makes it easier to recover the kite when it falls into the water.
