A setup for wave riding and modern freeride
This kitesurfing set is built around the Duotone Neo SLS in size 9.0, combined with the Click Bar Quad Control M 22-24 and the Duotone Quick Release Freeride Kit. It is a configuration aimed at riders who value smooth kite handling, quick response, and strong control in changing conditions.
The Neo SLS is strongly wave-oriented by design, but its character also works very well for freeride and strapless freestyle. In the 9.0 size, it offers a well-balanced mix of power, turning speed, and usable wind range, which makes it a very popular all-round choice.
Duotone Neo SLS 9.0 - drift, fast turning, and intuitive feedback
The Neo SLS stands out thanks to its excellent drift and very intuitive bar feedback, both of which are especially important in wave riding. The kite stays stable in the air, so you can focus more on your line and timing instead of constantly correcting its position.
Duotone has refined the wingtip construction, which results in quicker steering initiation and smoother turning in a variety of conditions. In the 9.0 size, the optimized batten length also plays an important role by reducing flutter in the trailing edge. On top of that, the lightweight batten pocket construction helps reduce weight without compromising durability.
The Hybrid Flex Strut is another key element behind the kite’s dynamic yet controlled handling. It improves turning speed and makes the kite feel more direct in response. The use of Penta TX and Trinity TX materials adds stiffness, stability, and durability under load.
Size 9.0 - a versatile choice for a wide range of conditions
The Neo SLS 9.0 is a size that works well across a broad range of conditions and can easily serve as a core kite in many riders’ quivers. Duotone highlights the model’s wide wind range, supported by strong top end and good low end performance, which helps maintain comfort and control in gusty and variable wind.
In practice, this means more freedom on the water and fewer compromises between stability and turning speed. For riders focused on wave riding and freeride, the 9.0 is a very versatile starting point.
Click Bar - convenient trimming and precise steering
The second part of this setup is the Duotone Click Bar Quad Control M 22-24. This is a modern bar with power adjustment directly on the bar instead of a standard cleat system. It is a practical solution in everyday use, especially for riders who do not want to reach high for a traditional depower line.
The bar features new monofil coating on both front and back lines, which reduces friction and minimizes abrasion. The upgraded FLITE99 2.0+ front lines and FLITE99 2.0 back lines improve responsiveness, steering precision, and overall performance under load.
The Iron Heart VI Click-In system adds another layer of safety and convenience, allowing for quick and secure engagement. The automatic untwisting function helps keep the lines organized after rotations and loops, while the optional low V setting increases compatibility with different kite models.
Freeride Kit - a simple chicken loop setup for comfortable riding
The set is completed by the Duotone Quick Release Freeride Kit. This is the simplest chicken loop setup in the Duotone range, designed for comfort and ease of use. The small chicken loop keeps the bar closer to the rider, which makes the depower easier to reach.
The set also includes a short Quick Link leash that can be operated with one hand. The automatic push carabiner and improved EVA grip make everyday use more convenient. This setup matches the overall purpose of the set very well, especially for freeride and wave riding.
A well-matched setup for riders who value control
The Duotone Neo SLS 9.0 with the Click Bar and Freeride Kit is a refined kitesurfing setup for riders who want to ride waves, progress in strapless freestyle, or simply use a versatile kite setup for different sessions. This package focuses on direct kite feedback, quick response, ease of use, and a broad range of performance, with the 9.0 size adding even more versatility.
