Product description

Advantages

Lightweight construction

To make it easier for the kitesurfer to transport and assemble the kite, special fabrics, characterised by low weight, have been used in its production. The entire construction is lightweight, which also allows the kite to be flown in lighter winds.

Pumping system

The inflation system used in this kite model makes the inflation process much more efficient. It takes much less time to fill the kite, as does releasing the air when you have finished swimming.

Ease of assembly and disassembly

The design of this kite model for kitesurfing has been developed to make assembly easy, even for the less skilled person. The lines should not get tangled, and the disassembly itself will also not take much time or cause any problems.

Robustness

A kite is a component that uses the power of the wind to float on a board. Therefore, it must be strong and resistant to damage. This model is very sturdy because it is made of high-quality materials.

Easy to transport

The design of this model of kite and the materials used make transporting it easy. The relatively low weight and the included carrying case allow the kite to be carried comfortably to the beach.

Compactness

Both the well-thought-out design and the appropriate materials used in production have made this kite model extremely space-saving. After use, it folds down to a compact size for easy storage and transportation.

Technologies

HEAVY DUTY LEADING EDGE CLOSING SEAM

A technology used in DUOTONE brand kitesurfing kites to strengthen their edges. It takes the form of double seams on the edge, which make the equipment much more resistant to high stresses and acting lateral forces.

TRAILING EDGE FORCE CONTROL

A technology used in kitesurfing kites to smooth the power transfer between the different materials of the kite as it is flown. It seeks to eliminate point stresses in the material, resulting in greater performance and less wear and tear on the product.

MODERN TRAILING EDGE DESIGN

An updated kitesurfing kite back edge design. It is narrowed and made from a low weight material blend. This leads to a smooth kite profile and less product wear.

PENTA TX

A state-of-the-art material used in DUOTONE brand kitesurfing kites. It is five times more tear resistant than its predecessors and has a weight reduction of 15%. This results in a more precise, sporty kite feel. The PENTA TX also features high stiffness, which is particularly beneficial in strong winds, as it leads to less deformation of the entire kite structure.

FLEX STRUT EVO SLS

A solution used by the DUOTONE brand in kite surfing. These are flexible struts, which are the equivalent of the rigid, solid frame used in five-bar kites. With their agility, however, they resemble tricycle kites. The result is improved kite feel and greater responsiveness. The FLEX STRUT EVO SLS also allows for controlled, smooth and fast turns.

LOAD DISTRIBUTION PANELS

DUOTONE brand technology designed to maintain the shape of the kite even when it is subjected to extreme loads. The solution consists of special panels that distribute the forces acting on the equipment. This translates into a smoother and more efficient performance.

ANTI SNAG

Tape to prevent the lines from tangling around the tip of the kitesurfing kite. The use of ANTI SNAG makes the equipment easier to use and increases safety.
