2025 Duotone Evo D/LAB Limited Edition "Bluula" Kite | First Impressions?

If you want to take a good kite and make it even better, replacing the frame with Aluula is a great place to start. That's what Duotone has done with the Evo D/LAB, but you could be forgiven for not recognizing it right away. We've grown so used to seeing that bright yellow, but Duotone has released the first limited edition Blue Aluula fabric, or "Bluula", as we at MACkite like to call it. This kite is only available in the US, so you may want to preorder if you plan to rock this special colorway.

2025 Duotone Evo D/LAB "Bluula" Features

We'll be back with a full on-the-water review soon, but for now let's go over what Duotone says we can expect from this kite.

The Aluula D/TX material is stronger and stiffer than your typical leading edge material, and both those traits translate into a slimmed-down leading edge. Because it's stronger, you can pump it up to 10 PSI to hold the shape of the smaller leading edge, and the fabric's stiffness helps as well. A thinner leading edge is going to have a lot less drag over its span, resulting in a faster kite, which is great news for looping.

The Evo D/LAB is also expected to gain some top end, giving you a wider wind range for each size. Also new for 2025 is a 6-point bridle for a more precise feel.

It's expected to have higher jumps, faster loops, and longer distance. This is Duotone's all-around kite, so these features should be something almost any rider can appreciate.

If blue's not your color, then sit tight. The 2026 version that releases later this year is expected to return to the classic gold Aluula leading edge and struts.
