DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Design and Objectives
The EVO D/LAB 2026 features a completely redesigned airframe focused squarely on boosting and looping. Its reduced leading edge diameter and optimized profile minimize drag, giving you cleaner power delivery and instant response to every bar input. The result is a sharp, responsive feel that makes it easier than ever to go big.
Steering and Ride Feel
The 6-point bridle system stabilizes the kite's wingtips and refines the feedback you get through the bar. On the water, you'll experience precise and direct steering, which is essential for landing clean loops. The depower is smooth and progressive, making power management more intuitive and helping you stay in control during committed moves.
D/LAB Construction & Materials
The DUOTONE EVO D/LAB 2026 uses Aluula to cut weight while maintaining the crucial stiffness needed for massive jumps. Optimized strut pockets lighten the canopy and reduce flutter, while the recommended inflation pressure of 10 PSI reinforces the frame for stable control and handling.
Big Air and Looping Performance
When you're boosting, the profile's stiffness delivers incredible hangtime and a clean take-off. For loops, the kite's responsiveness and neutral feel give you precise feedback to control the rotation. Trick-focused riders will get a sharp, direct response right when it's time to send it.
Versatility and Wind Range
The lightweight design improves light-wind relaunch while remaining stiff enough for powered conditions. This kite is engineered for sessions demanding both power and control, from light wind freeride to jump-focused big air. The available sizes from 6 to 13m² cover a wide range of wind strengths.
Care and Recommendations
Dry your kite in the shade before packing it away and regularly check the seams and struts for wear. Always inflate to the recommended pressure (10 PSI) to preserve the kite's shape and the long-term performance of the D/LAB and Aluula materials.
