Duotone Evo SLS 2025

Maintaining your Duotone Evo SLS 2025

Cleaning: Rinse the kite with fresh water after every session, especially after using it in salt water. Avoid strong jets directly on the valves and seams—instead, gently rinse the entire kite and let the valves rinse carefully. Remove sand and dirt from the canopy and bridles, as particles can wear down the material over time.

Drying: Let the kite dry completely in the shade before packing it away. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the fabric and bladder. Roll or fold the kite loosely so the material doesn’t develop sharp creases.

Storage: Store the kite in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight—preferably in a ventilated kite bag. Avoid leaving an inflated kite on the beach longer than necessary. Regularly check the bladder, valves, and bridles for wear, and replace worn parts with original spare parts so your kite lasts for many seasons.

What does SLS construction mean?

SLS stands for Strong Light Superior and refers to Duotone’s lightweight construction using materials such as Penta TX and Trinity TX. The result is a kite that’s lighter, more agile, and faster to turn - without compromising durability.

Can I use the kite for freestyle and loops?

What pump pressure is recommended for the Evo SLS 2025?

Duotone recommends 7 psi as the optimal pump pressure for the kite to perform at its best. You can also fine-tune the kite using the back pigtail adjustments, bar length, and line length.

How should I best care for the kite?

Rinse the kite with fresh water after use, let it dry completely in the shade, and store it in a cool, dark place in a ventilated bag. This significantly extends the life of the fabric, bladder, and bridles.
