The new construction for 2021 replaces the Dacron with Penta TX, significantly reducing the weight of the kite while making it three times more durable. This supercharges the handling, increases the wind range and turns the Evo SLS into an experience you have never felt before with a kite.
The new materials and construction make the kite much stiffer, resulting in a very agile and precise overall handling, while the reduced weight improves the low-end. The new Flex Struts allow the kite to twist like never before when you engage the bar, and this results in lightning-fast handling that is guaranteed to excite you.
No matter what you decide to do with the Evo SLS, you’ll be blown away by the performance; it’s changing the way we think about kiteboarding. It allows you to get on the water earlier, stay out for longer and have control at your fingertips that other kites can only dream of. Maximise your ride, go all out with the new Evo SLS and connect with your kite in a way you could have only imagined before.

FLEX STRUT
The counterpart to a stiff frame, to ensure a direct and very reactive feel of SLS kites.

Steering impulses are transformed smoothly and fast into turning actions
PENTA TX
A more sporty, more precise and crisp feel of the kite.
– Up to 5 times higher tear resistance
– 50% less elongation compare to standard dacron. A quite stiff material, resulting in a high structural stiffness, especially recognizable in strong wind conditions, leading to less deformation of the overall structure of the kite.

– Guarantee for a very precise timing when edging, releasing the edge and all steering impulses – the precise and reliable steering of a racing car.
