Category: Wing Equipment & Reviews Featured Level: Advanced Intermediate
Products we compared
Duotone Slick SLS 2022
RRP: £919
A great all-round/multi discipline wing, thats happy freestyling, freeriding or in the waves!
Pros: Compact, lightweight, stable and ultimate connection and control to the wing via the mini boom
Cons: The mini boom brings a little extra weight over the other products in the range but if you go carbon and its marginal.
Consider buying if... You are an intermediate rider who wants a great all round wing which performs well through disiplines
Duotone Unit (V3) 2023
RRP: £919
The MOD3 canopy brings a new level of power for this wing thats most at home in the surf or down-winding.
Pros: Lightweight, extremely powerful and stable wing.
Cons: Stiffer, more powerful wing is more advanced to use and will take a bit of getting used to.
Consider buying if... You are a heavier rider and want to benefit from this wings top level power, or if you want a wing that will perform to the best level in surf
Duotone Unit D/LAB 2023
RRP: £1739
The DLAB's light weight feels great and is a dream to ride - the choice if you want top performance for your waves or downwind.
Pros: Next level lightweight construction allows this DLAB Unit 2023 to be a step up from the well designed Unit V3. Feather light, stable and powerful!
Cons: Like the Unit V3, this wing's canopy material is stiffer, which although delivering more power takes a bit of getting used to. This wing may also be well out of some peoples price range.
Consider buying if... If you can afford it and are looking for the best luffing and manoeuvrability in your wave or downwind wing, then the DLAB Unit 2023 is a top performer.
What we say
We review and compare the 3 wings in Duotones 2023 range, the Slick SLS, Unit V3 2023 and Unit DLAB 2023. Helping you understand how these designs have evolved, how they perform on the water and which one is right for you. Duotone have developed 3 really great wings in their 2023 line up, with subtle design and material changes these wings perform closer than ever before, but each wing will suit a particular rider and budget.
UPDATE / 6/3/23 – The Unit is also available in 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 metre sizes there is a mistake at 11minute in the video.
