Sheet updated September 2026
The set of four 20 cm replacement battens for the Slick wing replaces the Trailing Edge battens of Duotone Slick SS21 generation. The battens slide into the sewn sleeves along the Trailing Edge. They prevent the canopy from flapping during upwind performance and in gusts. They can get lost, break, or warp. This makes the wing noisy long before it is worn out.
KEY INFORMATION
SET OF 4 REPLACEMENT 20 CM BATTENS FOR SLICK WING - Duotone spare part
What we like
- Sold in sets of four: This is the exact number you need to fully replace a Trailing Edge, or to keep as spares in your bag.
- 20 cm, the original length: You get the same length and stiffness as the battens factory-installed on the Slick SS21.
- Two-minute assembly: They slide into the sleeve, with no tools, no glue, and no seam.
- A silent wing: Even one missing batten can cause an entire panel to vibrate. Replacing them restores silence and tracking.
- Original part: These are genuine Duotone manufactured battens, not generic cut-down replacements.
Included / Not included
✔️ Included: 4 x 20 cm battens
❌ Not included: Wing, Replacement sleeves
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What are Trailing Edge battens for?
On a wing, the Trailing Edge is the free part, not held by the leading edge strut or the main strut. Without stiffeners, it flaps as soon as your speed increases. This creates noise, stresses the seam, and reduces upwind performance. The battens slide into the sleeves to restore its hold.
When to change them
You can identify a broken batten by sound and touch: the affected panel will flap, and the sleeve will bend at the break point. A lost batten leaves an empty sleeve. You can see this when held against the light. In both cases, the repair takes just two minutes and restores your wing to its original condition.
