Duotone Evo D/LAB 2026 Kite

Second generation high-performance Aluula Evo DLAB from Duotone

Over the past few years, the Duotone Evo D/LAB has grown into one of the most popular kites on the market. It’s the go-to choice for high-performance freeride and big air kitesurfers who won’t settle for anything less than the very best gear. This 2026 version of the Evo D/LAB has once again been tuned into perfection in the Duotone Lab and features a super light and ultra-rigid full Aluula frame. The latest Evo D/LAB offers even better upwind performance and stability, is easier to control, has a wider wind range, and delivers a floatier lift. If you're after the best of the best for your jumps, hooked-in tricks and allround freeride sessions, this is your kite. Want to know how Duotone pulled it off and what’s changed technically? Read on below.

As soon as you spot the new Duotone Evo D/LAB 2026 in the air, one thing stands out: seasoned riders will immediately notice the more open profile. This leads to longer hangtime, a floaty lift and a slightly enhanced wind range. Thanks to the more open profile shape, you’ll land all your board-offs, rotations and air-style tricks effortlessly.

A pulley-less 6-point bridle supports the full Aluula frame of the Evo D/LAB. This gives the kite its stable nature, direct steering response and overall top-tier performance. On top of that, the leading edge in this second generation has been made a bit thinner, which benefits both high- and low-end. That’s a big win for big air and kiteloops: the kite recovers incredibly fast after a landing or downloop. Extra bonus: the thinner leading edge makes it super easy to ride upwind. Say goodbye to the walk of shame after those massive boosts.

Luckily, much of what we already loved has remained unchanged, because let’s face it, the Evo D/LAB was already a next-level kite. Just like its predecessor, the 2026 version is crafted with Duotone’s exclusive Trinity TX canopy. Its unique shape ensures that water relaunches are easy and intuitive. And thanks to the massive power and depower range on the bar, that perfect sweet spot is always within reach.

In short, want only the very best? And do you love allround / freeride kiting with a broad wind range, stable character, floaty hangtime and mind-blowing handling? Then the Duotone Evo DLAB is definitely your kite. It’s the choice of Andrea Principi for the most technical tricks in competitions, so gear-wise you’re more than set!
