The Duotone Rebel SLS is here to redefine the expectations of big air and high performance freeride kiteboarders across the globe. The heritage of the Rebel is second to none, but this year the new Penta TX frame combined with Trinity TX is going to change the way you think about freeriding and boosting. The new materials combined with an updated design and the Flex Struts make the kite incredibly dynamic; the low weight supercharges the kite's handling and allows it to develop even more power.
In light winds, the difference is remarkable, and the larger sizes will offer unrivalled jumping and hangtime, when the wind is at the lower end of the scale. As the wind increases, the jumps get bigger, and the take-off becomes even more impressive. The acceleration into the air after you release the edge will have you pulling more G's than Yuri Gagarin, and the hangtime will leave you breathless.
There are several tuning options on the kite, allowing you to dial in the bar pressure and turning speed to suit your riding style. You can also choose to ride the Rebel SLS in the four or five-line configuration; the fifth line is available as an accessory.
The new materials, lighter weight and incredibly dynamic handling, combine to create one of the most exhilarating rides on the market. As soon as you start flying the Rebel SLS, you will instantly feel the power and performance at your fingertips. All you have to do is load up the edge of the board and get ready to send it to the moon!
The wind range on the Rebel SLS is outstanding, the five-strut design keeps the shape stable in the air, so at the top end there is almost no limit, the jumps just get bigger, and the hangtime lasts longer. With several trim options on the bar, the Rebel is also very versatile, you can set the kite up for the conditions of the day and how you want it to fly.
Get ready for take-off and experience flying in a way you can only get with the Rebel SLSl!

Amended Rebel Review Review by Charlie
Once again the Rebel has been further refined, so precise on the bar with great feedback and a also a tight bar throw. It's great to have this kite on a simple 4 line setup now with the option to go to 5 lines for absolute safety.
The wind range has been tweaked to be even wider, I've been hacking upwind on a 6m when others were on 9,10's and 11's. The top end is really impressive and the Rebel is my choice to use in gusty stormy conditions, the short bar throw combined with its ability to soak up the gusts fills me with confidence in the more extreme conditions.
Jumps, well the Rebel excells at jumping, there is potential to go massive with this kite and the hang time is really floaty. If you are out for Woo records then the Rebel wont hold you back.
A beautifully tuned, responsive mega jumping freeride kite.

Once again the rebel has been further refined, so precise on the bar with great feedback and a tight bar throw. this year the kite is even more of a boosting machine and the wind range is massive. A free ride monster!
