Description

The Duotone Neo SLS takes everything that made the Neo legendary and elevates it into a more direct, sportier, and performance-focused package. Designed for committed Wave riders and progressive Strapless Freestyle athletes, the Neo SLS delivers exceptional precision, faster steering response, and an incredibly dynamic riding feel in the most demanding conditions.

Developed with Duotone’s Strong Light Superior construction philosophy, the Neo SLS combines reduced weight, increased structural stiffness, and optimized torsional compliance to create a Kite that feels exceptionally alive and reactive on the wave.

Every steering input translates instantly into direct canopy response, allowing riders to place the kite precisely where needed during fast, technical surfing manoeuvres. A key element of the Neo SLS performance character is the one-piece centre strut construction. This design increases torsional compliance, allowing the Kite to twist more efficiently through turns and react faster during committed down-the-line riding. The result is incredibly fast and controlled steering that keeps the Kite perfectly positioned in the pocket while maintaining exceptional drift and stability.

Outstanding drift remains one of the Neo SLS’s defining characteristics. Even when riding aggressively with slack lines, the kite stays composed and effortlessly follows the rider down the line, allowing complete focus on the wave without unwanted pull or disruption.

Compared to the standard Neo, the Neo SLS delivers noticeably more direct bar feedback and a sharper overall riding sensation. The stiffer, highly refined structure provides immediate steering response and precise reactions through critical wave sections, making the kite especially appealing for advanced riders seeking maximum control and performance. The rigid and balanced airframe additionally delivers an impressive wind range, remaining stable and predictable from marginal conditions to fully powered wave sessions.

Sizes from 5 to 10m should be pumped to 9 PSI and sizes 11 and 12m to 8PSI, for optimum performance. Whether riding fast reef breaks, technical onshore conditions, or powerful surf, the Neo SLS maintains composure, responsiveness, and confidence at all times.

Trusted by high-performance wave riders and World Champions, built for those pushing their limits in every session, the Duotone Neo SLS represents a dynamic and performance-driven Neo platform.

Tuneable Bar Pressure:

The Neo SLS features an adjustment in the back line bridle that permits the rider to opt for greater or lesser bar pressure. Low bar pressure reduces strain on arms and makes turn initiation easier, but gives less feedback about kite position and load condition. Higher bar pressure is a little more athletic and is often preferred by more experienced riders.

Technology

Penta-TX:

Penta TX, the guarantee for a sportier, more precise and crisper feel of the kite, achieved by 15% less overall weight and a five times higher tear resistance. Penta TX replaces Dacron and is showing 50% less elongation compared to standard Dacron.

Penta TX is a quite stiff material, resulting in a high structural stiffness, especially recognizable in strong wind conditions, leading to less deformation of the overall structure of the kite.

It's responsible for a very precise timing when edging, releasing the edge and all steering impulses - the precise and reliable steering of a racing car. Penta TX is used in the leading edge and the centre strut.

Penta TX Frame Construction:

Penta TX, the guarantee for a more sporty, more precise and crisp feel of the kite, achieved by 15% less overall weight and a five times higher tear resistance. Penta TX replaces Dacron and is showing 50% less elongation compared to standard Dacron.

Penta TX is a quite stiff material, resulting in a high structural stiffness, especially recognizable in strong wind conditions, leading to less deformation of the overall structure of the kite.

It's responsible for a very precise timing when edging, releasing the edge and all steering impulses - the precise and reliable steering of a racing car. Penta TX is used in the leading edge and the centre strut.

Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction:

The Leading Edge Intersegment Seam Construction increases the overall strength, stiffness, and direct flight stability of the airframe. Additional this is the lightest construction you can create for a kite.

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.

Micro Batten Construction:

The Micro Batten Construction is 40% lighter compared to regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight and provides a cleaner and sleeker look of the kite without compromising durability or performance.

Hybrid Flex Struts:

The new Hybrid Flex Strut offers the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. The turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These features are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases.

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.

Micro Loop Connections:

The Duotone Micro Loop Connection is 40% smaller than in regular models and part of the overall concept to reduce weight on the leading edge.

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.

MOD 3S:

The MOD 3S is evolutionary in kite canopy technology, offering enhanced strength and stability. This innovative material provides three times the tear resistance and significantly less stretch compared to previous generations, ensuring that your kite performs at its peak in even the most demanding conditions.
