Comparing the Unit Wing Collection

It seems like Duotone has upped their Unit game for 2026! So, what are the differences between them all? Let's break it down:

At the tippy top of Duotone's list is the Unit D/LAB/ Built with Aluula for the lightest, stiffest, and best responsive feel. The power-to-weight ratio and drift qualities make this a favorite for advanced riders.

Just below that sits the Unit SLS, which has a trimmed profile to reduce weight compared to the original Unit. Consider it a sweet spot for performance and affordability. The Concept Blue swaps for sustainable materials, including a bio-based bladder, undyed fabrics, and recycled plastic parts.

Finally, the standard Unit remains the reliable, all-round with good power delivery and solid drift. It's an affordable option for those getting into the sport!
