Duotone releases 2027 Dice SLS kite

Duotone Kiteboarding has released the 2027 Dice SLS, an updated high-performance crossover kite designed for freestyle, dynamic loops, and wave characteristics. The brand positions the Dice SLS as a versatile option for riders seeking one kite for multiple disciplines, emphasizing its sporty, reactive, and responsive nature. Duotone highlights its Strong Light Superior (SLS) construction, which aims for increased structural stiffness and optimized weight reduction. This construction maintains the kite's shape under load, facilitating precise edging and explosive pop for unhooked freestyle tricks. The 2027 model features a revised strut layout and refined load distribution, intended to create balanced and intuitive handling. Duotone states this design promotes direct and instinctive steering, even in powered conditions. Beyond freestyle, the Dice SLS offers capable wave performance with excellent drift stability, achieved through reduced canopy movement and optimized tension distribution. Duotone also notes smooth and balanced power delivery, with higher inflation pressures (8 PSI for 11m+ and 9 PSI for 10m-) and optimized force transfer for controlled pull during various maneuvers. The brand describes the kite as dynamic and highly adaptable, targeting ambitious riders who prioritize fun, progression, and versatility.
