Duotone EVO vs EVO SLS 2021 | Kite Review
Спорт
We tested the Duotone Evo next to the new Duotone Evo SLS. What are the differences on land and in the air. Does the new Evo have a different construction? We show you all the differences and of course enjoy the kitereview as much as we do.

Kom alsjeblieft terug! Jullie video’s zijn echt top en van hoogwaardige kwaliteit 👌🏼
Super fun and informative. Being Dutch and having lived in the US for >20 years, it is a sheer delight to watch you guys do your thing with a touch of humor here and there. "Wind tasting, that's how we do it in The Netherlands"... excellent!

Best kite reviews in the world! Keep them coming!
Well? 1 year passed. Where are you guys?
Nice Video. Thank you. I would be interested in an old vs new Kite Video. For example: How a 6 year old burned out kite flies against the same kite in new condition.

Great review!!😀 Was the bar pressure the same on them?
hello can we please get some new videos ??
Hi there... Can you please make a comparison test of new 15m juice dlab vs 2021 juice 17m...i am interested if the 15m has better power in, let's say 10knots wind, vs the 17m normal juice... I am 96kg and I am not sure the dlab will have the power to pull me... Thanks
Did you feel more comfortable in light wind conditions with the SLS ? I mean, did you have the freight that the kite will fall from the sky and never relaunch?
@Kitefinder

Hi Nicolas, it was a bit offshore. Thats why we didn't test the relaunch. But the old fashion swim to your kite worked always fine
Yeah, finally another fun review 😄 what about the fancy new clickbar version. Are the shiny new lines worth it? 😆 I need a new bar and was wondering, if not just to go with the old model instead.
@Kitefinder

They tuned the new click bar, best to test because its a other feel, more rigid and firm depower

Hi, yes we're a bit out of production. Andrej got married and became Director of a big company. Less time to play around 😭
Not too shure whether nowerdays improvements are just marketing or like trade offs for example with weight and stability or if they are really worth it. I think without the direct comparison you'd be never able to tell any difference from one year to another.

Come on guys, 5 moths since last video. Well, at least regular size jokes are in and...wind tasting. Newer model costs 200 euros more. Talking about light materials, according to Duotone data, 10m EVO SLS weights 2,78 kg and that is very similar to single strut kites in same size

I ride Ozone kites more than decade already and what I see now made by Doutone and others was long time ago implemented in Ozone kites. Less weight, simplicity and thin bridle lines. Less panels, clear lines, no pulleys, thin struts etc. all this nuances already implemented in Ozone kites years and years ago.

I mean all unnecessary "reinforcement" stripes, hard-wearing patches etc. was declared years ago by same team in North as absolutely nesesary improvements from generation to generation of kites. Remember games with trailing edge materials and reinforcement shapes? But now same people but under Duotone label trying to to convince customers that now all their previous "reinforcement" based under hard research it is not need.Wow! When did you tell the truth? Before or now? Thinner bridle lines - obviously improvement just began only in 2021, but I have this in all my Ozone already. I will not be surprise if after couple of years all kite brands, who encouraged by New Super-Puper Teijin 4x4 will jump back from 4x4 to Teijin 3x3 or even to 2x2 due to kite weight/strangth/cost efficiency and all this "arms race" is all about marketing wars. No more. But all "Christmas decoration", trowse like an old oranges, takes working and technological operation in manufacturing process and finally must reduce kite price. Slingshot announced new RPX with significantly reduced panels numbers although all previous years they declared that all SS kites are perfectly optimized. So.... Its all about marketing.
