Duotone Rebel D/LAB 2026

The Duotone Rebel D/LAB 2026 is the ultimate big air and high-performance freeride kite engineered for riders chasing maximum height, extended hangtime and confident control. Designed in Duotone’s cutting-edge research lab, this kite blends lightweight materials with advanced aerodynamics to deliver explosive lift, smooth steering and exceptional stability in a wide range of conditions.

Built with high-tech Aluula D/TX in the leading edge and struts for ultra-low weight and torsional response, paired with Duotone’s Trinity TX canopy material for strength and dynamic performance, the Rebel D/LAB feels responsive, lively and precise throughout every session.
