A. Rebel SLS and Neo (and Neo SLS) do have pulleys, however the pulleys do not move unless the safety is activated. During normal kite flying they sit against knots and act the same as a fixed pigtail, unlike older Evos and Dice which had active pulleys. B. There will be no Rebel in original constr...
Ok... but I've always thought weird that Duotone team riders never use their big air kite on the big air competitions... Aaron, Reno, Tom, Lasse ...they usually prefer the Dice. The Rebel easily outperforms the Dice in jump height and hang time. But judges at Kota will not only look for jump height...
For some reason the Rebel SLS only lost ~100g per size (~3.5%), while all other SLS kites lost ~300g (~10%) per size. Wonder why? Because Duotone use light weight dacron, same as mono.

The conclusion is that I shouldn´t buy a one strut kite and just keep my contra 13m 3 struts, because a 11m one strut won´t give me much better low end and the short wind range of one strut kites will kill the benefit... right? I do not agree with this conclusion, certainly not in your case! Looks ...
Guys, any more news / reviews about the new Rebel? Looking for some more info about the loops and the catch compared to my 2019 before ordering them. I love everything else about the rebel so if indeed the catch is better, loops faster and has less backstall then I am happy. Please see this video h...
