DETAILED DESCRIPTION
All-Round Performance
The Evo SLS 2026 was designed to adapt to multiple riding disciplines, including freeride cruising, committed freestyle jumps, and wave carving. Its versatility means you don't have to switch gear between sessions just because you change your riding style.
Stability and Control
The SLS construction (Penta TX & Trinity TX) delivers a crisp, responsive feel at the control bar. You'll notice incredibly direct and balanced steering where every input translates instantly into action. This builds confidence, especially in gusty conditions or when stomping difficult landings.
Responsive Power and Fast Steering
The newly tapered tips and an extra segment on the leading edge ramp up the turning speed. In practice, this means faster turns, smoother transitions, and the ability to throw aggressive kite loops without losing control.
Smooth and Predictable Handling
The refined tip design significantly reduces flutter during loops and hard turns. The result is cleaner, more predictable handling, giving you the precision you need to link your tricks and nail your landings.
Hangtime and Power
The Evo SLS delivers powerful lift and generous hangtime, giving you plenty of airtime to work on your tricks. For progressing in big air or fine-tuning your rotations, it provides a stable platform to send it with control.
Progress with Confidence
This kite is accessible enough for intermediate riders to progress on, while still offering the high-end performance that experienced kiters demand. We recommend choosing your size based on your build and typical wind conditions to get the most out of its capabilities.
