Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 Kite
Redesigned Duotone Rebel for new school big air and performance freeride
The Duotone Rebel has been the big air machine from Duotone for years. Offering kitesurfers all around the world with mega lift and a loads of hangtime. Last year a major upgrade of the Rebel was postponed, but this year it is finally here. The Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 is ready to conquer big air podia!
The Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 has had an overall design update and you can feel it. To compete in the new skool big air discipline, the Rebel SLS 2024 has been given more hang time, a lighter bar pressure and a faster steering input. This is not only a very nice upgrade for the pros, who can do kiteloops with rotations and boardoffs more easily, but also for the average kite surfer who is trying to master one of these tricks. The biggest upgrade of the Rebel SLS 2024 can be found around the wingtips. The wingtips themselves of the Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 are optimized for big air, steering speed and hangtime. The struts in the wingtips are made of a new flex strut layout. This new flex strut layout ensures that the Rebel SLS has a greater overall flex, making the kite steer significantly faster than last year.
The bridle setup has also had a number of small tweaks to perfectly match the updated design of the Rebel SLS 2024. Duotone has deliberately opted for a bridle with a pulley system. The pulley system makes the Rebel SLS super accessible for both pros and average kite surfers. In addition, you will notice that the Rebel SLS jumps super easily due to the new bridle optimalisation and wingtip design, timing has become less important if you want to go big. Ride hard, edge hard, turn in, pull the bar and the 2024 Rebel SLS gives you a huge vertical lift. If you want to do a kiteloop, this is certainly no problem for the Duotone Rebel SLS 2024. With the light bar pressure you can loop the Rebel very quickly, in the kiteloop the 2024 Rebel SLS does not give you too much pull, so you have enough confidence for a board-off, backroll or even a combination of the two. Exactly what the new big air style demands from pro kitesurfers today!
The premium construction of the Rebel SLS 2024 is as you would expect from Duotone. Only the best materials and techniques have been used to build the Rebel SLS. The dacron of the Rebel SLS 2024 is made of Penta TX: super stiff and super light. The canopy of the Rebel SLS 2024 consists of exclusive Duotone Trinity TX. Trinity TX has a combination of a 3×2 ripstop material which according to Duotone gives the perfect combination of weight, flex and stiffness. Three of the five struts are made of full Penta TX, and the two outer struts of a Flex Strut combination, creating the fastest Rebel ever made.
Because no kitesurfer is the same, you can setup the Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 super easily to your wishes by adjusting the steering line attachment on the tips. This allows you to ensure that Rebel SLS steers faster, has a little more bar pressure or a combination of these.
In short, the new Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 is more accessible, faster, has more hangtime and is optimized for the latest big air tricks. The 2024 Rebel SLS kite is suitable for anyone who wants to jump high as easily as possible with a lot of hang time. Whether you are an average kitesurfer or Andrea Principi with a megaloop boardoff rotation, the Duotone Rebel SLS 2024 is the perfect fit for every big air freeride kitesurfer.
