Sheet updated September 2026
The Evo 2026 Leading Edge Bladder is the replacement bladder for the Duotone Evo 2026 kite, covering sizes from 5 to 13 m². The Leading Edge is the strut that provides the entire kite with its stiffness. When your bladder no longer holds pressure, even with patches, or if it's torn by several centimeters, replacing it is a better option than attempting a repair. Each kite size requires a specific bladder, so make sure to order the one that matches your kite.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Identifying a bladder that needs replacement
If your kite loses pressure overnight, even with clean valves and a sound seal, or if you have a leak that the soap test can't find, or a tear too long for a patch, it's time to replace the bladder. The Leading Edge bladder is crucial for maintaining pressure, as it holds the shape of the entire kite.
Ordering the correct size
Duotone cuts each bladder to a specific kite size. A 9 m² bladder will not fit an 11 m² kite; it would wrinkle in the center and strain at the ends, leading to rapid wear. You can find the size written on the kite's Trailing Edge. Remember to retrieve the valve from your old bladder, as it is not included with the new one. While you're at it, check the valve's seal.
FAQ - EVO 2026 LEADING EDGE BLADDER
It must exactly match your kite's size, which is printed on the Trailing Edge. Nine sizes are available, from 5 to 13 m².
No, you'll need to use the valve from your old bladder. While you're at it, check the valve's seal. A worn valve will cause a new bladder to leak.
