The Slick D/LAB has arrived! The Duotone latest Freeride & Freestyle Wing with Mini Boom comes with the power, lightweight and unmatched performance from our prestigious D/LAB technology – delivering a riding sensation beyond imagination!

Duotone D/Lab Unit 2023

Duotone have launched their second version D/LAB – ultralight, ultra stiff, big wind range, the Duotone D/LAB Unit gives you the most wind range per wing size so it handles more wind at the top end and will get you going quicker in lighter winds.

The profile is the same as the standard Unit 2023 model and the canopy is using the new low stretch reinforced fabric – it has a stiffer leading edge handle which stays more upright; the dihedral in the leading edge has been reduced which gives more glide and wing tip stability in both its vertical and horizontal position – it comes in only one colour way – white & stormy weather!

Yes, this wing is expensive but to be really frank its the most lightest and highest performance wing on the market – full of grunt!

You do notice the Duotone D/LAB Unit 2023 has plenty of pumping power to enable you to get up on the plane quickly.

The Duotone D/LAB Unit features:

  • Aluula leading edge & frame
  • Duotone Fixed Handles
  • Two dump valves, wing tip and centre strut
  • MOD3 canopy fabric

Weights:   4.0 is 1.98kg / 5.0 is 2.27kg / 6.0 is 2.62kg

The new design brings increased lift, power and hang time and when combined with the most cutting-edge materials and construction techniques, the result is truly mind-blowing.

The Slick D/LAB powers through lulls and rides through gusts with unrivalled balance and stability. Early take-off and incredible lift and hang time in jumps are just two of the Slick D/LAB’s outstanding characteristics. With a stable draft position and its huge wind range, the Slick D/LAB is easy to rotate through the latest Freestyle tricks, gets you up effortlessly on the foil in the lightest breeze and has predictable control even in the gustiest conditions.

With the use of Aluula in the leading edge and strut, combined with our unique MOD3 canopy, designer Ken Winner has crafted an incredibly light wing with instantaneous response. With direct power when pumping, more lift, higher jumps and quicker rotations, the Slick D/LAB excels in every metric.

The low stretch character of the higher modulus MOD3 fabric maintains the wing’s shape and profile even when riding through changing wind conditions. During gusts you’ll feel pure acceleration, allowing you to ride without needing to adjust your hands or riding position.
The durability and longevity of the MOD3 canopy are significantly improved when compared to standard ripstop fabrics, keeping the wing fresh from day one.

The deep profile and refinements to the strut and wing tips have resulted in maximum lift and provide forgiving and consistent power delivery with a remarkably stable flying behavior in different riding angles and wind strengths.

With two well-placed windows on each side of the wing, you’ll be passing and overtaking riders with good visibility and no blind spots.

You’ll be amazed at how light and effortless the Slick D/LAB feels and follows your line when held by the newly refined front handle.

Best matched with our carbon Platinum or Platinum SLS boom – the Slick D/LAB is your ultimate ticket for performance Freeride and powerful Freestyle action.

 

  • Lightest Weight

Aluula frame for minimal weight and maximum performance. With about half the weight of standard dacron and about 50% higher stiffness the aluula leading edge and strut make the slick D/Lab extremely performant and about 15% lighter

  • Fast Response

The refined reflex as well as the revised wing tip angle give the wing a more constant power delivery and a fast response.

 

  • Mini Boom

Direct steering with infinite hand placement. The mini boom allows you to place your hands where ever you want, which is a massive plus from learning the basics to the most advanced freestyle moves.

  • More Power

Deeper and more precice profile design provide more power and smoother response to gusts.

  • Moderate Wing Span

The Slick D/Lab comes with a moderate wing span, which helps drift stability and power delivery, yet it still features a compact outline, which helps smaller riders to keep the tips clear.

  • Positive Lift

Easy for tacks, lifty for jumps. Various design features give the Slick D/Lab a positive lift, translating in easy and light feel through all sorts of maneurvers and jumps.
