Introducing the redesigned Duotone Rebel SLS for 2024, a true icon that continues to push boundaries and redefine the riding experience for a new generation of riders. This year, the design team focused on the wing tips to improve the handling and turning speed. In addition, the canopy tension was also optimised to improve the gust handling and enable the kite to keep its shape no matter the wind strength.
The combination of Penta TX and Trinity TX creates a remarkably rigid kite that maintains its shape even in challenging gusty conditions, providing consistent and smooth power delivery. The addition of Flex Struts allows the tips to twist, resulting in intuitive handling and exceptionally dynamic steering.
While the Rebel SLS offers impressive power, it also provides unparalleled control. With its instantaneous depower, you can confidently navigate strong conditions and achieve extraordinary heights during big air jumps.
The explosive take-off and vertical boost of the kite will propel you to new levels, while the extended hangtime will make you feel as if you're floating in the air, experiencing longer flight times with every jump.
Even in light winds, the Rebel SLS remains highly capable, delivering ample low-end power through quick upstrokes, thanks to its lighter weight. This reduced weight also improves drift, allowing you to swing under the kite during landings and easily recover it.
The Rebel SLS is a perfect choice for freeride enthusiasts and those seeking massive jumps with long hangtimes. Light up the height scores at your local spot and go extra-large with the new Rebel SLS.

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.

Beautifully Tuned Review by Charlie
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!
