DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The benchmark all-rounder
The Evo is designed for riders who want one kite that does it all: powerful freeride, massive jumps, hooked-in freestyle, and the occasional wave session. Its balanced 3-strut arc is confidence-inspiring for riders still learning the ropes, yet delivers all the performance an expert demands.
Boost and big air
The Evo delivers a powerful pop for take-off and tons of floaty hangtime. Whether you're throwing tight, fast loops or full-on megaloops, it stays incredibly stable, giving you the confidence to push your limits.
Steering and stability
The struts are fully connected to the Leading Edge with a flexible Dyneema line, increasing canopy tension for a cleaner profile. The result is direct steering, precise feedback through the bar, and rock-solid flight stability.
Construction and Lightweight Design
The intersegment seam on the Leading Edge boosts stiffness and stability, while the Micro Batten Construction makes the kite 40% lighter than traditional designs without sacrificing any durability.
Canopy and Durability
The TRINITY TX 3x2 weave fabric, exclusive to Duotone, offers the ideal balance of performance and durability, holding its shape and flying true session after session.
