Description

The Duotone Neo D/LAB, is at the pinnacle of wave kite innovation and performance. Engineered with cutting-edge Aluula D/TX and Trinity TX materials, this kite represents the most refined wave kite, designed for unmatched precision and control on the water.

The Neo D/LAB sets the standard with best-in-class drift, offering ultimate wave freedom. Experience ultra-smooth and responsive handling that allows for outstanding steering response, making it the ideal choice for riders who demand the very best. With the maximum wind range in the Neo line, this kite is versatile enough to excel across various conditions.

One of the key advancements of the Neo D/LAB is its sharper steering response, achieved through the incorporation of Aluula D/TX in the leading edge. This revolutionary material reduces weight while significantly increasing stiffness, allowing for an immediate transfer of steering input to the kite. The result is noticeably quicker and more direct turning, which is crucial for reactive surfing in tight sections. Subtle refinements to the arc shape and sweep angle also enhance down-the-line drive. These changes shift the kite’s position further forward in the wind window, keeping it actively engaged and pulling when riding slack lines. This design offers smoother flow and consistent forward drive on fast wave faces, elevating your surfing experience. Stability is further enhanced with improved drift and depower control. The combination of structural stiffness and aerodynamic refinement allows the kite to hold its shape when depowered, reducing deformation and flutter.

This results in a cleaner and more controllable drift, particularly in offshore or gusty conditions. Furthermore, the increased torsional stiffness provided by Aluula D/TX minimizes unwanted flex in the leading edge during aggressive input. This leads to a crisper, more predictable steering feel, allowing for precise maneuvering, especially under pressure or during hard transitions.

With the Duotone Neo D/LAB, you have the ultimate wave kite at your disposal. Experience unparalleled performance and precision, designed for the most ambitious riders who seek the perfect balance of innovation and control in the waves.

Features

Technology

Aluula Frame Construction Neo D/LAB:

The new fabric in combination with new construction features reduces the weight of the kite by up to 30% compared to standard constructions and depending on the size, which is a considerable saving of up to 1kg, especially when the wind is light.

Elsewhere the construction has been fine-tuned to reduce weight wherever possible, while innovative use of material weaves allows improved turning ability and response.

Modern Trailing Edge Design:

A narrower trailing edge with a lighter combination of materials to reduce wear and to create a slicker kite profile.

Kook Proof Connectors:

The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite.

Double-V Pigtails:

These pigtails distribute the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, making the kite less prone to distortion and helps it to steer more smoothly.

Load Distribution Panels:

As kite geometry improves, the canopy must continue to resist increasing forces. To spread these forces, Load-Distribution-Panels are used, holding the kite’s shape even under the most extreme loads.

In practice this gives a smoother and more consistent performance from the kite in any riding situation.

Anti-Snag:

The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite.

Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased.

Self-Rescue Handles:

The self-rescue handles on the inside of the wingtips can be easily found in case of an offshore break down.

They provide a good, comfortable grip while sailing back to the shore during a self-rescue manoeuvre.

Fusion Strut:

This construction allows for a controlled distribution of forces between strut and leading edge.

Struts are 100% connected to the leading edge with a flexible Dyneema line, which promotes higher canopy tension and a clean profile.

Control Bar

Duotone Trust Control Bar System:

The Duotone Trust Bar is the ultimate control system, combining intuitive handling, proven reliability, and versatile setup options for riders across every discipline.

Designed to deliver confidence from the very first session, the Trust Bar offers a clean, functional design paired with premium components and advanced safety features.
