Description

Introducing the redesigned Duotone Rebel SLS for 2024, a true icon that continues to push boundaries and redefine the riding experience for a new generation of riders.

This year, the design team focused on the wing tips to improve the handling and turning speed. In addition, the canopy tension was also optimised to improve the gust handling and enable the kite to keep its shape no matter the wind strength. The combination of Penta TX and Trinity TX creates a remarkably rigid kite that maintains its shape even in challenging gusty conditions, providing consistent and smooth power delivery.

The addition of Flex Struts allows the tips to twist, resulting in intuitive handling and exceptionally dynamic steering. While the Rebel SLS offers impressive power, it also provides unparalleled control. With its instantaneous depower, you can confidently navigate strong conditions and achieve extraordinary heights during big air jumps. The explosive take-off and vertical boost of the kite will propel you to new levels, while the extended hangtime will make you feel as if you’re floating in the air, experiencing longer flight times with every jump.

Even in light winds, the Rebel SLS remains highly capable, delivering ample low-end power through quick upstrokes, thanks to its lighter weight. This reduced weight also improves drift, allowing you to swing under the kite during landings and easily recover it. The Rebel SLS is a perfect choice for freeride enthusiasts and those seeking massive jumps with long hangtimes.

Light up the height scores at your local spot and go extra-large with the new Rebel SLS.

Features

EASIEST KITE TO JUMP

  • The Rebel SLS is the easiest kite in the range to jump
  • Simply redirect and hold the edge, and you are rewarded with massive lift every time

BIGGER VERTICAL BOOST

  • For 2024 the Rebel SLS has been tweaked to improve the vertical boost this jumping machine delivers

INSTANT ABSOLUTE DEPOWER

  • Total control is right at your fingertips, simply sheet out on the bar, and the kite spills power faster than any other kite in the range

FAST AND AGILE

  • The Rebel has been designed to be much more responsive; this allows you to fly the kite around the window with precision and power and get the kite to the edge of the window quickly in gusts so you can dump power when needed

SLS CONSTRUCTION

  • The SLS construction helps reduce the overall weight of the kite and improves performance by making the frame stiffer
  • In addition, materials like Penta TX and Trinity TX make the kite light while offering excellent durability

GOOD DRIFT AND LONG HANGTIME

  • The Rebel SLS offers excellent drift allowing you to catch the kite after big jumps and even gives you long hangtime in light winds allowing you to perform your tricks with ease

KOOK PROOF CONNECTORS

  • The kook proof line connection points prevent accidents by guaranteeing that you cannot accidentally connect your lines incorrectly when rigging your kite

DOUBLE-V PIGTAILS

  • These pigtails distribute the load of the line connections to the kite, minimizing the risk of fatigue, making the kite less prone to distortion and helps it to steer more smoothly

ANTI SNAG

  • The Anti Snag webbing is preventing the lines from tangling around the tip of the kite
  • Waterstarts are made easier and safety is increased

SELF RESCUE HANDLES

  • The self-rescue handles on the inside of the wingtips can be easily found in case of an offshore break down
  • They provide a good, comfortable grip while sailing back to the shore during a self-rescue manoeuvre

FLEX STRUT

  • The counterpart to a stiff frame are the Flex Struts, between middle and tip struts
  • They ensure a direct and very reactive feel of kites
  • The agility of a three-strut kite combined with the stiffness and the solid frame of a 5 strut kite
  • A softer material enables the Flex Struts to bend and twist in a defined way. Steering impulses are transformed smoothly and fast into turning actions

FUSION STRUT

  • This construction allows for a controlled distribution of forces between strut and leading edge
  • Struts are 100% connected to the leading edge with a flexible Dyneema line, which promotes higher canopy tension and a clean profile

HEAVY DUTY LEADING EDGE CLOSING SEAM

  • The leading edges of all kites are extremely durable due to a special heavy duty closing seam
  • The Dacron material at the leading edge is reinforced with a self sticky Insignia Tape and double stitched additionally
  • The Heavy Duty Leading Edge Closing Seam is resistant to very high tensions and diagonal forces

TRINITY TX

  • Teijin is the world’s leading supplier of polyester fabrics and sail materials to marine sports
  • The combined creative power of Duotone saw the formulation of TRINITY TX
  • Exclusive to Duotone, TRINITY TX is a 3×2 canopy material, which has proven to be far superior to other canopy materials in terms of durability and dynamic performance
  • The 3×2 yarn combination has proven to be the best solution in performance as well as durability, overall superior to any 2×2 or 4×4 yarn solutions
  • TRINITY TX. Made to stand the test of time

PENTA TX FRAME CONSTRUCTION

  • The Penta TX frame construction is the reason for a 5-times higher tear resistance, 50% less elongation compared to standard Dacron constructions and a 15% lighter overall construction compared to the Original Rebel models, resulting in a great low end in combination with an incredible top end due to the solid frame construction

MODERN TRAILING EDGE DESIGN

  • A narrower trailing edge with a lighter combination of materials to reduce wear and to create a slicker kite profile

LOAD DISTRIBUTION PANELS

  • As kite geometry improves, the canopy must continue to resist increasing forces
  • To spread these forces, Load-Distribution-Panels are used, holding the kite’s shape even under the most extreme loads
  • In practice this gives a smoother and more consistent performance from the kite in any riding situation
