Duotone Evo D/LAB 2027 – din nye bestekompis

Evo D/LAB har siden 2023 etablert seg til å være allrounderen som virkelig passer alle. Den størst enyheten for 2027 er Aluula™ D/TX. Den nye grå versjonen av Aluula er mindre torsonsstiv enn Aluula Gold og resulterer i en mer leken kite som er lettere på baren. Konstruksjonen er altså like forutsigbar i gusty forhold, men looper og svinger frotere. Vekten er også redusert med det nyeste fra Aluula.

• Utvidet vindrange & styrke – designet for å takle alt fra marginal vind fra til overriggede turer uten å miste balanse eller respons.

• 10 PSI oppblåsning & tynn LE – gir stiv struktur, mindre luftmotstand, forbedret evne upwind og bedre boosting-egenskaper. 

• Aluula™ D/TX – forbedrer styre-egenskaper og kraftoverføring, ideelt for loops og vektreduksjon.

• Ny, åpen profil – med introduksjon av nytt materiale redesignes profilen av kiten og optmaliseres deretter. Her får du en raskere, men samtidig snillere kite, som er lett å finne progresjon med. 

Størrelser & bruk:
Evo D/LAB finnes i 6 – 13 m², med vekt fra ca. 1,89–2,81 kg. 6 til 10 m² looper som en drøm og 11 til 13 m² gir deg flere timer på vannet.

Anbefalt barbredde & linjelengde:
Standard 22 m linjer og bar i strl S for 6–9 m, M 22-24 for 10–13 m gir optimal demp og kontroll. Her kan du eventuelt gå opp i størrelse på bar for enklere loops.

Ytelsesprofil:
Kraftig løft og drøy hangtime, tydelig barfeedback og imponerende upwind-egenskaper. Her har du en kite som flyr uanstrengt i lite vind og som virkelig tar deg med på flyvetur når det blåser opp. 

"Nye Evo D/Lab er markedets råeste allrounder. Går du for en i Aluula, får du en kite som presterer på topp i alle forhold. Selv har jeg vært på foil i 9 knop og cruiset uanstrengt i 35 knop med samme 10 meter. Evo er perfekt for den som ønsker å lære seg noe nytt eller sette sine første loops. Med DNA fra Rebel hopper du uanstrengt og med høyere AR får du god hangtime når du først er der oppe."

DUOTONE

History

We were there when the first kites were seen riding downwind from Ho’okipa to Kanaha. We got dragged over the beaches of Maui, the Baltic Sea or Tarifa, we tried directionals and twin tips, we experimented with two, four or five lines and we developed C-shapes, Delta-shapes and safety bars. Whatever comes to your mind regarding kitesurfing evolution in the past 20 years - we took part in it.

Innovation

There is not a single day without one of our engineers or team riders on the water testing new products. We call ourselves fortunate to have a team which yearns to push the sport to the next level. From the early days until today we did experience an incredible progression and yet there is no end in sight. And this is what creates the excitement. Our R&D team does not respond to trends! We love to start the trend, to set the tone and to explore new ways on the water.
