What are the difference between a Duotone juice DLAB 2025 to 2026

The 2026 model features a completely refined frame with a narrower leading edge, higher inflation pressure (around 10 PSI), and a redesigned canopy layout. This reduces drag, increases efficiency, and helps the kite fly further forward in the wind window — improving upwind ability and overall smoothness in light winds.

How does the handling compare between 2025 and 2026?

The 2026 version delivers more direct steering and bar feedback, thanks to a new 6-point pulley-less bridle system. This gives the kite a smoother, more responsive feel and keeps the canopy stable in gusty or marginal conditions. Riders will notice faster turning and improved agility, even in very light wind.

Is there a difference in low-wind performance?

Definitely. The 2026 Juice D/LAB gets going earlier and planes sooner than the 2025 model. The new aerodynamic profile allows you to stay upwind with less effort and ride in even lighter breeze. It’s the kite you want if you’re chasing every possible session in marginal wind.

Does the 2026 version relaunch more easily?

Yes — Duotone’s design tweaks have made the 2026 version relaunch quicker and with less effort, even when the wind drops below 10 knots. This is due to its lighter weight, refined bridle geometry, and improved canopy structure.

Is there a difference in how the kite feels on the bar?

The 2026 version has lower bar pressure and more precise feedback, making it easier to fly one-handed or for extended light-wind sessions. It feels smoother, more balanced, and “lighter in the air” than the 2025 model.

Duotone Juice D/LAB 2026 – Master the Light-Wind Session

The Duotone Juice D/LAB 2026 raises the bar for light-wind kiteboarding, building on the 2025 model with clear gains in materials, aerodynamics, and all-round performance. If you’re done letting the breeze decide when you ride, this is your weapon of choice for twintip cruising, freeride, and foil sessions in marginal conditions.

What’s New for 2026

Next-gen Aluula D/TX frame: ultra-light yet impressively rigid, enabling a slimmer leading edge for less drag and better upwind reach.
Refined 6-point, pulley-less bridle: increased canopy stability with more direct, confident bar feedback in marginal winds.
Re-engineered profile & panel layout: smoother airflow and shape retention at low apparent wind for earlier planing and steadier pull.
Improved upwind drive: flies further forward in the window for easier angles and extended range when the breeze is light.

Premium Materials – Aluula & Trinity TX

D/LAB construction combines an ultra-light Aluula structure with Trinity TX canopy to deliver a feather-light, crisp, and durable kite. Expect instant response, low bar pressure, and a canopy that resists stretch—session after session.

Performance Highlights

Unmatched low-end power: get riding sooner and keep moving in the faintest breeze.
Effortless upwind ability: narrow, stiff frame tracks upwind with less effort than typical light-wind kites.
Feather-light handling: lively, low-bar-pressure feel with precise steering and smooth power delivery.
Reliable relaunch: quick, confidence-inspiring waterstarts when conditions are weak.
Versatility: excels for twintip, freeride, and foil—far more than a niche light-wind specialist.

Who It’s For

Riders who want more sessions by breaking free of wind limitations.
Light-wind freeride and foil enthusiasts who value premium materials and build quality.
Upgraders from older Juice/Evo or standard constructions seeking noticeable gains in low wind, upwind, and handling.

Sizes & Setup

Sizes: 14 m², 15 m², 17 m².
Guidance: 14 m for lighter riders/ultra-marginal wind; 15 m for mid-range riders (freeride/foil mix); 17 m for heavier riders or ultra-light wind.
Bars: pairs perfectly with Duotone Click Bar or Trust Bar for optimal precision and feel.

Duotone Juice D/LAB 2026 – Ride When Others Can’t

The Duotone Juice D/LAB 2026 is the ultimate expression of light-wind kiteboarding innovation, delivering next-generation performance for freeride, foil, and big-air riders who demand more time on the water. Every component has been engineered for efficiency, responsiveness, and control, giving you the freedom to ride earlier, stay out longer, and make the most of every session.

At the heart of the 2026 edition is the revolutionary Aluula D/TX frame, a high-tech composite that is significantly lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional Dacron. Combined with Duotone’s proven Trinity TX canopy, the Juice D/LAB feels incredibly crisp and stable — even when the wind is barely blowing. The result is a kite that accelerates faster, drifts smoother, and reacts instantly to every bar input.

The refined 6-point pulley-less bridle system provides ultra-direct steering, while the narrower leading edge improves aerodynamics and reduces drag, delivering superior upwind drive and precise power control. The canopy’s revised panel layout ensures that the kite holds its shape perfectly, maintaining steady pull through gusts and giving you a smoother, more predictable feel in marginal wind.

Thanks to its super-light construction, the Juice D/LAB 2026 excels in relaunching — lifting effortlessly from the water when others are still struggling. You’ll plane earlier, pop higher, and stay powered through every lull. Whether you’re cruising with a twintip, exploring new coastlines on a foil board, or chasing personal bests in ultra-light wind, this kite redefines what’s possible.

Built for ambitious freeriders, foilers, and big-air enthusiasts, the Duotone Juice D/LAB 2026 stands as the most advanced light-wind kitesurfing kite in the Duotone lineup. With its refined handling, premium materials, and exceptional wind range, it transforms light days into unforgettable sessions.
