Duotone Neo 2024

Maintaining your Duotone Neo 2024

After use: Rinse the kite with fresh water to remove salt, sand and dirt, especially around the valves and lirkker. Let the kite dry completely before packing it away - roll it up loosely from one end to avoid creases in the fabric.

Washing: Use only lukewarm fresh water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid soap, solvents and pressure washers, as these can damage the canopy and coating.

Drying: Dry the kite in the shade or indoors - never leave it in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays break down the material over time. Make sure both the canopy and bladders are completely dry before storage.

Storage: Store the kite in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight, preferably loosely packed in the bag with the valves closed. Do not leave it inflated on the beach in strong sun or wind. Regularly check the seams, valves and lines for wear, and repair minor damage with the included repair kit as soon as possible.

What is the Duotone Neo 2024 best for?

The Neo 2024 is designed as a dedicated wave kite and also works really well for strapless freestyle. It’s especially strong in waves thanks to its exceptional drift and fast handling.

What sizes does the kite come in?

The kite is available in sizes from 3.0 to 12.0 meters. The larger sizes deliver maximum power with a wider arc, while the smaller sizes have more sweep in the tips and focus on maneuverability.

Is the Neo 2024 suitable for beginners?

The Neo is primarily a performance wave kite for experienced kiters, but it’s stable in the air and relatively easy to relaunch. If you’re new to the sport, a freeride kite is usually a better starting point.

What is the kite’s wind range?

The wind range depends on the size and spans 11 to 42 knots across the range. The kite also has plenty of low-end power and generous depower, so you can stay on the water when conditions change.

Are the bar and lines included?

No, the kite is sold as a bare kite without a bar and lines. You can choose a suitable Duotone bar as an accessory if you don’t already have one.

What material is the canopy made of?

The construction uses Trinity TX material in the wingtip area, reducing weight without compromising durability. This helps the kite drift steadily down the line.

What’s the best way to maintain the kite?

Rinse the kite with fresh water after use, let it dry completely in the shade, and store it somewhere dry and cool. This significantly extends its lifespan, especially for canopies made from lightweight materials like Trinity TX.

Can the kite be tuned to suit the conditions?

Yes, the Neo 2024 has several settings on the wingtips. You can choose maximum pop and powerful loops or optimize for exceptional drift and fast turning.
