Sheet updated September 2026
The Duotone Frontpiece AL 3BS 2027 is the aluminum front fuselage section that connects an SLS or Original Front Wing to a D/LAB or Monobloc tail. This 23 cm long piece features a 3BS connection. Its key benefit is simple: it makes D/LAB tails compatible with configurations not available in full carbon. On a Glide 3.0 SLS 1250 or an Amp 2.0 1800, the wingspan and torsional forces can overwhelm a full carbon fuselage. Aluminum handles these loads with ease. Depending on the tail you mount, the total fuselage length will be between 60 and 70 cm.
KEY INFORMATION
DUOTONE FRONTPIECE AL 3BS 2027 - Aluminum front fuselage section for D/LAB tails
What we like
- Combine two constructions: Pair an SLS or Original Front Wing on one side with a D/LAB or Monobloc tail on the other. This frontpiece bridges the gap between these two platforms.
- Adjustable fuselage: Achieve a total fuselage length from 60 to 70 cm, depending on your chosen tail. This lets you fine-tune your foil's behavior without swapping out your Front Wing.
- Reduced drag from D/LAB tails: Experience the efficiency of D/LAB stabilizers on larger surface setups.
- High-quality aluminum: This aluminum maintains its stiffness under load, even when paired with large Front Wings.
- Wide compatibility: Works with Duotone D/LAB, SLS, and AL 3BS masts, plus Fanatic carbon masts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What the front fuselage section does
On a Duotone foil, the fuselage assembles in two parts. The front section holds the Front Wing and attaches to the mast, while the rear section supports the stabilizer. The Duotone Frontpiece AL 3BS 2027 is the front section. It features the 3-bolt attachment system for SLS and Original Front Wings.
The deck between carbon and aluminum
D/LAB tails have minimal drag. The full carbon range has limitations on fuselage lengths. The Frontpiece AL 3BS opens these tails to longer setups, where a carbon front section would reach its torsional limits.
Large Front Wings benefit the most
With a Glide 3.0 SLS 1250 or 1400, or an Amp 2.0 1550 or 1800, the wingspan and forces increase significantly. The aluminum absorbs this load without any play. This allows the D/LAB tail to maintain its glide efficiency.
Compatibilities clarified
Compatible with Duotone SLS and Original Front Wings. Works with D/LAB and Monobloc tails. Fits Duotone D/LAB, SLS, and AL 3BS masts, plus Fanatic carbon masts. Achieve a total fuselage length of 60 to 70 cm, depending on the tail.

FAQ - DUOTONE FRONTPIECE AL 3BS 2027
This is for riders who already own a Duotone foil. It lets you mount an SLS or Original Front Wing with a D/LAB or Monobloc tail. This part helps you evolve your setup; it is not a first purchase.
It comes in only one length: 23 cm. The tail you mount behind it changes the total fuselage length, between 60 and 70 cm.
You can use it with Duotone SLS and Original Front Wings, D/LAB and Monobloc tails, and Duotone D/LAB, SLS, and AL 3BS masts. Fanatic carbon masts are also compatible.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session, then dry it. Disassemble the part regularly to prevent the screw set from seizing. Reassemble it with marine grease on the threads.
We assemble and sell Duotone foils every day in Pornichet. We know the combinations that work. If you have any doubts about your setup, call the shop before ordering.
