Duotone Soleil Concept Blue 2024 Kiteboard
Women’s freeride kiteboard with an environmentally friendly construction from Duotone
The Duotone Soleil Concept Blue 2024 is the favorite kiteboard for female riders. The Soleil performs best during freeriding but is also no stranger to big air or even some freestyle! This versatile kiteboard, thanks to its friendly and forgiving character, is perfect for a wide range of rider levels and conditions, making it the ideal choice if you only want one board in your quiver. The Soleil has been a part of the Duotone lineup for years and is now indispensable. But what makes it specially designed for women? The Duotone Soleil has a smaller outline, making it easier to carve from rail to rail for a dynamic and playful ride. The stance is also narrower and specifically tailored to the female body, making it easier to edge, pop, and carve. Additionally, the Soleil has excellent upwind capabilities thanks to the medium rocker, allowing you to easily return to your starting point. The progressive flex also ensures maximum comfort while optimizing pop!
New for 2024 is Duotone’s unique Concept Blue construction. The Duotone Soleil is one of the two kiteboards to receive the new environmentally friendly Concept Blue construction. But what makes this construction so eco-friendly? In the construction, two new materials are used: Flax Fiber and Basalt. Flax Fiber is a natural material that is more environmentally friendly and replaces traditional fiberglass. Flax plants can be harvested in as little as 100 days, which means fewer resources are needed to produce the end product. In addition to its eco-friendly properties, Flax Fiber also offers better damping properties compared to fiberglass and has excellent torsional flex characteristics. The Flax fibers are combined with Basalt Fiber, another natural fiber made from volcanic rock, used in the stingers of the Soleil. By combining these two materials, there is more control over the strength and flex properties, increasing the torsional and longitudinal stiffness in the kiteboard, resulting in an overall better and sportier ride while being environmentally friendly! In addition to the renewed Concept Blue construction, the Space Flex tips are back, but for 2024, the window has been made larger for even more comfort. Also, the deck of the tips is asymmetrical for a stiffer heel-side edge, providing a more predictable and linear flex pattern.
In short, if you’re looking for a women’s progression-oriented freeride kiteboard with an environmentally friendly construction, the 2024 Duotone Soleil is perfect for you!
