Overview

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s new in the 2026 Duotone Unit?
A: The 2026 Unit introduces a redesigned canopy profile with a slimmer leading edge and a more balanced power delivery. The deepest part of the draft has been shifted slightly off-centre, giving smoother sheeting and steadier pull. Small dihedral tweaks improve drift stability and make the wing feel calmer and more balanced in gusty conditions.
Q: How is the standard construction different from the SLS version?
A:
- 
Frame & materials: The standard Unit uses high-grade Dacron and standard canopy cloth, providing dependable performance and toughness. The SLS adds ultra-light PentaTX and Aluula reinforcements for higher stiffness but also a higher cost. 
- 
Feel: The standard version is slightly softer and more forgiving, offering smoother feedback in gusts — perfect for freeriders and progressing riders. 
- 
Durability: Traditional materials handle everyday use and scuffs better, making this version ideal for riders who prioritise longevity. 
- 
Value: It delivers 90 % of the SLS performance at a significantly lower price. 
Q: What improvements does the 2026 Unit bring over the 2025 model?
A:
- 
Refined outline for smoother handling and power transitions 
- 
Improved drift and wave balance — steadier when flagged out 
- 
Slimmer leading edge for reduced drag and better upwind angles 
- 
Updated canopy shaping for a calmer, more stable feel 
- 
Enhanced control across the wind range, both over- and under-powered 
These upgrades make the 2026 model feel more planted, efficient, and connected than the 2025.
Q: What about control and setup?
A: The 2026 Unit is compatible with the Duotone Fusion boom or rigid handles, letting you tailor your setup for wave riding, freeride cruising, or freestyle. The compact outline keeps handling light and responsive across all sizes.
Q: Who is this wing best for?
A: The standard Unit suits riders of all levels who want a reliable, smooth, and well-balanced wing without the premium price tag. It’s perfect for progressing intermediates and freeriders who value control, comfort, and durability.
