The benchmark all-rounder
The Evo is for riders who demand a single kite capable of doing it all: committed freeride, massive jumps, hooked freestyle, and even occasional wave sessions. Its balanced 3-strut arc makes it equally reassuring for progression and high-performance in the hands of an expert.
Boost and big air
The Evo delivers a clean take-off and floaty hangtime. Whether you're aiming for small, tight loops or full megaloops, this kite supports your risk-taking with exceptional stability in the air.
Steering and stability
The struts are 100% connected to the Leading Edge via a flexible Dyneema line, which increases canopy tension and refines the profile. The result is direct steering, precise bar feedback, and immediate flight stability.
Construction and Lightweight Design
The intersegment seam of the Leading Edge enhances stiffness and stability, while the Micro Batten Construction lightens the kite by 40% compared to classic models, without compromising durability.
Canopy and Durability
The TRINITY TX 3x2 weave fabric, exclusive to Duotone, offers the best compromise between performance and durability, maintaining a clean profile session after session.
