DESCRIPTION FROM DUOTONE

Duotone Evo D/LAB 2027

The 2027 Duotone Evo D/LAB is the absolute pinnacle of modern Freeride, Big Air, and Freestyle performance. Refined for another year, this top-of-the-range Evo blends explosive jumping ability, ultra-direct handling, dynamic loops, intuitive wave performance, and elite-level all-round versatility into the most advanced Evo Duotone has ever built.

At the core of the kite is the Aluula D/TX three-strut construction — the lightest and stiffest frame material in the Duotone lineup, weighing roughly 30% less than standard Dacron. That translates directly to faster, more direct steering response and a kite that stays composed and stable as the wind builds. A newly refined profile for 2027 builds tension quickly and converts it into explosive vertical lift, with clear, predictable take-offs, long hangtime, and smooth, controlled landings — giving riders more time in the air for board-offs, rotations, and technical combinations. During kiteloops, the kite turns smoothly and climbs back up quickly for a controlled landing, and steering pressure is noticeably lighter than the previous generation, making the Evo D/LAB more playful and accessible without sacrificing top-end performance.

An enormous wind range and outstanding top-end stability are hallmarks of this kite. Refined profile tension and frame rigidity keep it calm and predictable deep into overpowered conditions, while the efficient Aluula D/TX airframe delivers exceptional low-end power and early planing in lighter winds. A clean canopy profile and efficient forward flight characteristics give the kite superior upwind performance, so riders can track upwind effortlessly while maintaining speed and line tension.

Core Construction & Airframe

• Aluula D/TX Frame: Merges ultra-low weight with maximum stiffness for instant steering response, light-wind efficiency, and structural integrity for high-impact Big Air.
• Fusion Strut 2.0: Seamlessly links the struts to the leading edge for enhanced airframe rigidity and dynamic control in heavy weather.
• 6-Point Bridle: Expands the wind range, keeps the kite compact, and delivers direct power delivery through extreme gusts.
• Leading Edge Intersegment Seam: Increases structural stiffness and direct flight stability using the lightest possible construction methods.
• High-Pressure Closing Seams: Maintains frame shape, prevents deformation, and preserves clean airflow under intense loads.

Canopy Materials

• TRINITY TX Canopy: An exclusive 3×2 yarn fabric developed with Teijin, offering superior durability, long-term wear resistance, and dynamic flight performance.
• MOD 3S Technology: Evolutionary canopy material providing three times the tear resistance and minimal stretch for peak shape retention.
• Micro Loop & Batten Setup: 40% lighter battens and 40% smaller leading-edge loop connections to strip weight and smooth the profile.
• Single Stitch Trailing Edge: Minimizes total weight and eliminates canopy flutter to maximize efficiency and extend lifespan.

Handling & Safety

• Explosive Lift & Wind Range: Massive hangtime, intuitive jumping timing, exceptional top-end stability in gusts, and early low-end planing power.
• Anti Snag Webbing: Prevents flying lines from tangling around the wingtips, improving safety and simplifying water relaunches.
• Kook Proof Connectors: Error-free line attachment points that prevent accidental mis-rigging.
