2026 Duotone Neo Kiteboarding Kite

2026 Neo

Wave

Sizes: 3m / 4m / 5m / 6m / 7m / 8m / 9m / 10m / 11m / 12m

The Neo has always been a favorite for riders chasing waves. For 2026, Duotone kept the same dependable feel with just a few tweaks to enhance precision. It's still the same kite with smooth, balanced power and predictable drift we all love — just with a few new tricks. This year's Neo is quicker to turn and easier to relaunch, and the slightly reduced aspect ratio gives the kite adds more play. The new intersegment construction keeps the canopy solid, even when the wind gets sketchy. It's composed and steady in gusts but lively enough to corral into place when you need it.

What really sets the Neo apart is how well it drifts. Even when you’re depowered and riding off the front foot, the kite holds its shape and stays reactive. That consistency is what lets you push harder in critical sections without worrying about the kite stalling or losing tension.

The classic Neo DNA is still here: light bar pressure, smooth steering, and effortless control. For riders who live for clean surf sessions and strapless riding, the 2026 Neo is tuned to make every session more fluid and fun.

What Duotone has to say:

The reliable wave kite for smooth and predictable handling

Discover the Neo, the reliable wave kite designed for smooth and predictable handling. Perfectly suited for down-the-line surfing, the Neo offers outstanding drift, allowing you to maximize your performance on the water with confidence.

What's New for 2026:

• Increased vertical lift without compromising hangtime
• More direct feedback from the bar, improving control
• Faster climbing to the edge of the wind window, especially during kite loops
• Explosive vertical boost for greater dynamism
• Enhanced agility and intuitiveness in high-performance riding scenarios

Design Features

Engineered for intuitive handling in every situation, the Neo delivers smooth power delivery and predictable control for both strapless and surf riding. Its enhanced design includes advancements that significantly improve handling, promising faster turning capabilities and exceptional relaunch performance.

The reduced aspect ratio results in quicker, more responsive maneuvers with lighter bar input, providing precise feedback in a variety of conditions. One of the standout features of the Neo 2026 is its increased structural consistency under load. The innovative intersegment construction allows the kite to maintain its shape reliably, even in gusty or variable winds. This ensures a smoother and more composed feel without compromising agility, enabling you to ride confidently in challenging conditions.

When it comes to depowered riding, the Neo excels. Even when drifting or in light wind sections, this kite maintains its shape and responsiveness, enhancing control when riding off the front foot or during slack line situations. This reliable performance gives riders the confidence to push their limits and explore new techniques.

While the Neo benefits from significant upgrades for 2026, it retains its classic handling characteristics that riders cherish. With easy steering, smooth drift, and balanced performance, the Neo stands out as a refined choice for wave enthusiasts.

Step into the world of waves with the Duotone Neo 2026 and experience reliability and smoothness like never before.
