The Duotone Evo D/LAB 2027 represents the pinnacle of modern kiteboarding performance. Built for riders who refuse to compromise, this high-performance kite delivers explosive power, ultra-responsive handling, and unmatched versatility across Freeride, Freestyle, Big Air, and Wave disciplines.
What's New in the 2027 Evo D/LAB
Duotone has refined the Evo D/LAB with several key improvements that elevate its already impressive performance envelope. The new Aluula D/TX adaptation delivers faster response times and improved top-end performance, while refined profile tuning creates more direct steering response. The result is a kite that feels sharper, more playful, and more engaging in every condition—with extended usable wind range and improved comfort for all-day riding.
Aluula D/TX Construction: The Lightest Frame in the Duotone Lineup
At the heart of the Evo D/LAB lies the Aluula D/TX construction with three struts—the most advanced frame material setup in the Duotone range. This lightweight, rigid design translates to instant response and unmatched precision. Every movement feels sharper and faster, giving you the connection and control needed to boost massive jumps, carve waves, loop aggressively, or execute technical Freestyle manoeuvres with confidence.
Explosive Big Air Performance
The Evo D/LAB excels in modern High Performance Freeride and Big Air riding. Its refined aerodynamic profile combined with the rigid Aluula D/TX frame generates explosive vertical lift, effortless takeoffs, and exceptional hangtime. You'll experience intuitive timing, massive airtime, and precise handling throughout every phase of the jump—from launch to landing.
Enormous Wind Range and Top-End Stability
One of the Evo D/LAB's most impressive strengths is its massive wind range and outstanding stability in overpowered conditions. Refined profile tension and advanced frame rigidity keep the kite calm and predictable deep into strong, gusty winds, delivering confidence-inspiring control when conditions get challenging. At the same time, the highly efficient Aluula D/TX airframe generates exceptional low-end power and early acceleration, allowing you to plane earlier and maintain impressive efficiency in lighter winds without sacrificing agility or responsiveness.
Superior Upwind Performance
The clean canopy profile and efficient forward flight characteristics allow you to track upwind effortlessly while maintaining speed, line tension, and perfect positioning on the water. This makes the Evo D/LAB ideal for session management and positioning in variable wind conditions.
Versatility Across Every Discipline
The Duotone Evo D/LAB is not built for a single discipline—it's designed for riders who want the absolute highest level of performance and fun everywhere. Whether you're pursuing Freestyle tricks, Freeride sessions, Wave riding, aggressive loops, or Big Air missions, this is the ultimate high-performance fun machine in the Duotone range.

Easier To Unlock The High Performance
What makes the 2027 model truly special is how it democratises elite-level performance. During the Duotone dealer meeting, the kite designers revealed that while the previous D/LAB model delivered exceptional performance, accessing that high level of capability required significant skill and precision. The 2027 Evo D/LAB changes that equation entirely. It's now easier than ever to unlock the high-performance potential—this isn't a compromise or downgrade in any way. Far from it: the kite is better across the board, and the performance is simply more accessible to a wider range of riders. You get the same elite-level capability, but with a more intuitive, forgiving character that rewards progression and experimentation.
