Duotone DICE SLS 2026
Bar & pump sold separately. Images and minor specs may vary by size/colour.
Overview
The Dice SLS 2026 is Duotone’s high-performance, three-strut freestyle and big-air machine, built in the light and stiff SLS construction. It delivers explosive pop, rapid turning and precise steering with a direct, pulley-less bridle—ideal for new-school freestyle, mega-loops and confident wave riding with excellent drift.
Key Features
- Fast, precise turning with a compact, three-strut frame and no-pulley bridle.
- Powerful, controlled lift for big boosts and confident kiteloops with smooth catch.
- SLS frame (Penta TX + Trinity TX) for a lighter, stiffer platform and crisp handling.
- Excellent slack & pop for unhooked tricks; stable when loaded, forgiving on re-hook.
- Wave-ready drift and depower for carving and onshore surf sessions.
- Refined bar feel—light to medium pressure with very direct feedback.
- 4-line set-up with adjustable tip settings to tune turning speed and bar pressure.
What’s New in 2026*
- Updated canopy panel layout and LE shaping for cleaner canopy tension and efficiency.
- Refined bridle geometry for more linear depower and steadier loop catch.
- Material and reinforcement optimizations to retain SLS stiffness while trimming overall weight.
*High-level improvements typical for the 2026 iteration. Final details may vary by size.

Who It’s For
Riders who want a reactive freestyle/big-air kite that also behaves brilliantly in waves. If you like looping, boosting and throwing unhooked tricks—but still want enough drift and depower for surf—the Dice SLS fits the brief.

Why Choose Dice SLS vs. Other Duotone Kites?
- vs. Rebel – tighter loops, quicker turning, more playful for freestyle.
- vs. Evo – more aggressive & direct; better slack for unhooked tricks.
- vs. Vegas – easier relaunch and depower; keeps a freestyle DNA without full C-kite demands.
