Thank you for the video! Could you talk a bit more about the differences of performances of Original x SLS x D/Lab? I mean, is the D/Lab really that more strong in lightwind conditions? Is there a big difference between SLS x D/Lab in performances? Thank you!
Hey @tcb022, I find the smaller sizes have less of a difference compared to the larger ones. The weight saving and exceptional efficiency as you move up through the line is pretty awesome. It is very hard to beat a Dlab, however there's definitely a bit of a sweet spot reached at the SLS level in my mind. Good luck! If you're around Melbourne feel free to drop in and chat further or try a demo
They couldn't come up with a toolless handle system? Maybe next year... Only buying used wings amyways....they are way too expensive new. Was riding a 2022 5.5m Unit DLab for 500€ this seasen 😊
It's exciting to see where it'll go, agreed. Someone's got to be pushing the evelope and it's great to see Duotone leading the way in many cases here. Should definitely send your ideas through to them if you're keen to see them join the market ;) Enjoy those D-Lab's, still a good wing.
Also why call something that isn't blue, Concept Blue? What's wrong with Concept White. I agree about the BS environmental, but I guess it is better do do it than not, but I would hope that all wingers and wind enthusiasts are pretty clued up about environmental issues. At the end of the day they are made in China for cost reasons then shipped all around the world by large marine diesel engines.
Agree it's great to see the major players in industries making steps towards this. Hopefully all the smaller brands will follow suit in some shape or form. The DT's are one of the few brands that are not China based. Point taken though on moving things around the world ;) Have a great season Tim, hope you're scoring plenty of sessions.

Depends which model you're looking for Cloud. You can find more at www.kiterepublic.com.au/?s=unit&post_type=product

I don't know about yours. All my Duotone wings made in Sri Lanka.
