Description

Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 + Aero SLS 75 cm Mast

Exceptional glide, efficiency, early lift, pumping performance, and controlled freeride handling have been combined in the Duotone Glide 2.0 SLS 1100 with Aero SLS 75 cm Mast. A performance-focused foil package has been created for riders seeking efficient flight across wing foiling, downwind foiling, prone foiling, pumping, and suitable freeride conditions

A refined high-aspect front wing has been paired with an extremely stiff carbon mast. Consequently, direct control and efficient power transfer can be achieved while the foil remains capable of producing strong lift at relatively low speeds.

The Glide 2.0 SLS has been developed as the second generation of Duotone’s Glide range, with a more cambered profile being used to increase lift while the original glide-focused outline has been further refined. Consequently, improved pump and glide performance can be obtained without sacrificing the maneuverability expected from a modern performance foil.

Complete Performance Foil Package

A carefully matched combination has been represented by the Glide 2.0 SLS 1100 front wing and Aero SLS 75 cm mast.

As efficient glide has been combined with a stiff carbon mast, a direct and connected riding sensation can be created. Furthermore, the 75 cm mast provides a useful balance between clearance, control, and maneuverability for suitable wing, prone, downwind, SUP, kite, and pump applications.

Consequently, riders can be provided with a versatile foil platform that can be used across multiple disciplines.

Glide 2.0 SLS 1100 Front Wing

A 1,100 cm² surface area has been provided on the Glide 2.0 SLS 1100.

As sufficient lifting area is combined with a high-aspect outline, early flight and efficient cruising can be supported. Consequently, the foil can be kept flying at comparatively low speeds while useful glide can still be maintained as speed increases.

The 1100 size has been positioned between the smaller 900 and larger 1350 versions, allowing a balanced combination of lift, glide, speed, and maneuverability to be achieved.

106 cm Wingspan

A 106 cm span has been incorporated into the 1100.

As the span has been extended relative to the foil area, induced drag can be reduced and glide efficiency can be improved.

Consequently, speed can be carried more effectively between pumping movements, swell sections, turns, and downwind bumps.

10.2 Aspect Ratio

A 10.2 aspect ratio has been specified.

As a high-aspect configuration is used, efficient forward flight can be supported while drag can be kept low.

Consequently, longer glide phases can be achieved and less energy can be required to maintain momentum.

More Cambered Profile

A more cambered foil profile has been introduced with the Glide 2.0 SLS.

As additional lift can be generated through the profile, early takeoff and low-speed performance can be improved.

Consequently, the rider can be provided with a foil that feels efficient while still producing useful lift during slower sections of a pump or downwind run.

Early Takeoff

Early takeoff has been emphasized in the Glide 2.0 SLS design.

As lift is generated efficiently at lower speeds, less acceleration can be required before foil flight is established.

Consequently, wing-foiling sessions can be started earlier, while pumping and prone applications can benefit from the accessible low-speed behavior.

Low-Speed Lift

Strong low-speed lift has been incorporated.

As the foil remains effective when speed is reduced, greater control can be maintained during slower portions of a session.

Consequently, recovery from small speed losses can be made easier when appropriate technique is used.

Low Drag

Low drag has been prioritized throughout the Glide design.

As the high-aspect outline and refined foil section reduce resistance during forward flight, momentum can be preserved efficiently.

Consequently, longer distances can be covered between individual pumping inputs.

Endless Glide

Long glide phases are one of the defining characteristics of the Glide range.

As forward momentum can be carried efficiently, the rider can remain airborne through sections where continuous pumping would otherwise be required.

Consequently, fatigue can be reduced during longer sessions.

Pumping Efficiency

Efficient pumping has been built into the design.

As low-speed lift and high-aspect glide are combined, the rider can use a smoother pumping rhythm.

Consequently, energy can be conserved while distance can be increased.

Pump and Glide

The Glide 2.0 SLS has specifically been developed around pump and glide performance.

As the profile has been made more cambered and the outline has been optimized for efficiency, a strong combination of lift and glide can be achieved.

Consequently, the foil can be used for flat-water pumping, downwind connections, and extended foil sessions.

Downwind Foiling

Downwind foiling can be supported particularly well by the 1100.

As glide efficiency is combined with low-speed lift, small changes in swell energy can be absorbed.

Consequently, bumps can be connected with less reliance on continuous pumping.

Connecting Bumps

Efficient glide is particularly valuable when gaps exist between swell sections.

As momentum is retained after a bump has been exited, the next available energy source can be approached more efficiently.

Consequently, longer and smoother downwind connections can be developed.

Prone Foiling

Prone foiling can also be supported.

As early lift and efficient glide are provided, takeoff can be made easier while long glide sections can be maintained.

Consequently, suitable waves and swell can be connected with reduced effort.

Wing Foiling

Wing foiling represents another important application.

As the 1100 provides useful low-speed lift while retaining high-aspect efficiency, early flight can be achieved and sustained efficiently.

Furthermore, responsive handling is retained.

Consequently, the foil can be used for freeride sessions, light-wind riding, carving, and longer-distance wing flights.

Freeride Performance

Freeride performance has been balanced with efficiency.

As the foil is not designed solely around maximum glide, maneuverability can also be maintained.

Consequently, turns, transitions, and directional changes can remain enjoyable while efficient cruising is preserved.

Maneuverability

A relatively lively riding character has been retained.

As the 1100 is smaller than the 1350, increased responsiveness can be provided.

Consequently, tighter turns and more dynamic handling can be achieved without moving to a significantly smaller front wing.

Carving

Smooth carving can be supported through the refined foil geometry.

As the rider applies controlled weight transfer, the foil can be guided through directional changes.

Consequently, flowing turns can be combined with efficient forward flight.

Rail-to-Rail Control

Rail-to-rail transitions can be performed progressively.

As the foil responds to controlled rider input, the direction can be changed without excessive delay.

Consequently, carving and freeride maneuvers can be performed with a connected feel.

Aero SLS 75 cm Mast

An Aero SLS 75 cm mast has been paired with the Glide 2.0 SLS 1100.

The mast is constructed from prepreg carbon and is listed with a 135 mm chord, 18.2 mm minimum thickness, and approximately 1.75 kg weight. Furthermore, extremely high structural strength in both torsion and bending has been emphasized by Duotone.

Extra-Stiff Carbon Construction

Exceptional stiffness has been engineered into the Aero SLS mast.

As torsional and bending deformation are minimized, steering inputs can be transferred more directly to the foil.

Consequently, a precise and connected riding sensation can be achieved.

Direct Steering Response

Direct response has been prioritized.

As mast flex is minimized, rider input can be transferred efficiently into the foil system.

Consequently, turns and pitch corrections can be made with greater precision.

75 cm Mast Length

A 75 cm mast length has been specified.

As this length provides useful clearance while retaining a relatively compact feel, it can be suitable for a broad range of wing, prone, downwind, SUP, kite, and pump applications.

Consequently, a versatile mast configuration can be created.

135 mm Chord

A 135 mm chord has been specified.

As the mast profile has been engineered around hydrodynamic efficiency and structural stiffness, drag can be controlled while strength is retained.

Consequently, efficient flight can be supported without sacrificing rigidity.

18.2 mm Minimum Thickness

The mast has a listed minimum thickness of 18.2 mm.

As the profile has been optimized for structural strength and hydrodynamic performance, efficient underwater movement can be maintained.

Consequently, the mast can provide a strong foundation for high-performance foil control.

Approximately 1.75 kg

The 75 cm mast is listed at approximately 1.75 kg, with a stated tolerance of ±5%.

As carbon construction is used, high structural strength can be achieved without requiring excessive mass.

Consequently, a performance-oriented balance between stiffness and weight can be provided.

Torsional Strength

High torsional strength has been emphasized.

As unwanted twisting is minimized, steering response can remain direct.

Consequently, control can be maintained during aggressive turns and higher-speed riding.

Bending Strength

High bending strength has also been incorporated.

As the mast remains structurally stiff under load, efficient power transfer can be maintained.

Consequently, pumping movements can be translated into forward motion more effectively.

Compact Feel in the Air

A compact character has been associated with the 75 cm Aero SLS.

As maneuverability is retained while strong structural support is provided, the foil can feel responsive during turns.

Consequently, freeride and technical riding can be enjoyed without an unnecessarily cumbersome feel.

Flat-Water Applications

The 75 cm Aero SLS is listed as suitable for flat-water lakes through small-size surf.

As the mast length provides useful clearance while remaining manageable, flat-water pumping and freeride sessions can be supported.

Consequently, the setup can be used for technique development as well as performance riding.

Pump Foiling

Pump foiling can be supported through the combination of the Glide 1100 and stiff Aero SLS mast.

As the front wing generates efficient low-speed lift while the mast transfers rider input directly, pumping can be performed efficiently.

Consequently, longer pump runs can be developed.

Dock Starting

Dock-start riding can be considered by experienced riders.

As the Glide 1100 has been designed for efficient pumping and glide, sustained flight can be supported once takeoff has been established.

Consequently, the setup can be incorporated into advanced pump-foil progression.

Downwind Pumping

Downwind pumping can benefit from the foil’s efficient glide.

As the front wing carries speed efficiently, pumping can be introduced only when required.

Consequently, the rider can focus more on reading bumps and maintaining momentum.

Small-Swell Riding

Small swell can be utilized effectively.

As low-speed lift is combined with efficient glide, the foil can remain airborne through smaller energy sections.

Consequently, more opportunities for continuous foiling can be created.

Light-Wind Wing Foiling

Light-wind sessions can benefit from early lift.

As the 1100 provides useful surface area and the cambered profile generates lift efficiently, takeoff can be facilitated.

Consequently, riding opportunities can be expanded when the complete wing, board, and foil configuration is appropriately matched.

Stronger Conditions

The foil can also be used as conditions become more powerful.

As the high-aspect profile and stiff mast provide controlled handling, increased speed can be managed.

Consequently, the setup can remain useful beyond purely light-wind conditions.

Freeride Sessions

Freeride use can be supported through the balance between glide and maneuverability.

As the foil can maintain speed while remaining responsive, cruising and carving can be combined.

Consequently, varied riding styles can be accommodated.

Foil Height Control

Consistent foil height can be maintained through responsive pitch control.

As the mast transfers rider input directly, small corrections can be made efficiently.

Consequently, the rider can maintain a smoother flight path.

Pitch Control

Pitch control is particularly important during pumping.

As the Glide 1100 responds to subtle changes in rider pressure, lift can be managed effectively.

Consequently, the rider can maintain foil height while building forward speed.

Front-Foot Pressure

Front-foot pressure can be used to manage pitch.

As the rider increases front-foot pressure, the foil can be controlled against excessive lift.

Consequently, stable flight can be maintained.

Rear-Foot Pressure

Rear-foot pressure can be used to encourage lift.

As the rider loads the rear foot progressively, the foil can be brought upward.

Consequently, pumping movement can be converted into forward acceleration.

Efficient Pump Cycle

A smooth pump cycle can be developed.

As the Glide 1100 retains lift through slower sections, excessive pumping amplitude can be avoided.

Consequently, physical effort can be reduced while flight time is increased.

Long-Distance Foiling

Long-distance riding can be supported through efficient glide.

As speed can be maintained between pumping inputs, energy can be conserved.

Consequently, longer routes can be attempted with reduced fatigue.

Rider Progression

Progression can be supported across several disciplines.

As early lift is combined with efficient glide and responsive handling, riders can develop takeoff, pumping, carving, downwind connections, and speed control.

Consequently, the setup can remain useful as rider ability improves.

Intermediate Riders

Intermediate riders can benefit from the accessible lift characteristics.

As the 1100 is designed to provide strong glide without requiring the handling of a much smaller high-aspect wing, progression can be made more approachable.

Consequently, riders can move toward higher-performance foiling with greater confidence.

Advanced Riders

Advanced riders can exploit the high-aspect efficiency.

As speed, glide, pumping, and carving are combined, more demanding riding techniques can be developed.

Consequently, the setup can provide sufficient performance for experienced riders.

Expert Riders

Expert riders can use the stiffness and efficiency of the complete system.

As the Aero SLS mast minimizes unwanted flex and the Glide 1100 retains speed efficiently, precise input can be maintained during demanding riding.

Consequently, performance can be extracted more effectively from the complete setup.

Board Compatibility

The board should be selected according to rider ability and intended discipline.

As board length, width, volume, and foil-track position influence takeoff and handling, the front wing and mast should be integrated with a suitable board.

Consequently, the Glide 1100 can be used more effectively.

Mast Position

Foil-track position should be adjusted carefully.

As the mast position influences pitch balance and rider pressure, incremental adjustment should be performed.

Consequently, a more natural stance can be established.

Rider Weight

Rider weight should be considered when selecting the complete setup.

As lift requirements change with rider mass, board volume, wing size, and water conditions, front-wing size should not be evaluated independently.

Consequently, a balanced configuration can be created.

Stabilizer Selection

The Glide 2.0 SLS 1100 is listed with the H 210 stabilizer as its recommended stabilizer.

As the stabilizer is matched to the front-wing geometry, pitch balance and handling can be optimized within the intended system.

Consequently, a more predictable complete foil configuration can be achieved.

Complete Foil Tuning

The front wing, stabilizer, mast, fuselage, and board should be treated as one complete system.

As each component influences lift, pitch, yaw, roll, and speed characteristics, careful matching is required.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

Consequently, the best performance can be obtained when compatible components are used.

Hardware

The Glide 2.0 SLS 1100 is specified with 3 × M8x30 TX45 screws and a recommended torque of 15 Nm for the front-wing connection.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

• Mounting screws
• Thread condition
• Board foil tracks

Consequently, loose hardware and visible damage can be identified before entering the water.

Carbon Care

The carbon components should be handled carefully.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

As carbon structures can be affected by significant impacts, grounding and collisions should be avoided.

Consequently, unnecessary structural risk can be reduced.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

Leading Edge Protection

The front-wing leading edge should be protected during transportation.

As impacts against hard surfaces can damage precision foil profiles, a suitable protective bag or cover should be used.

Consequently, the foil can be preserved between sessions.

Salt-Water Care

After salt-water use, the foil should be rinsed appropriately.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm

As salt deposits can accumulate around hardware and connection areas, regular cleaning can reduce contamination and corrosion.Duotone Glide SLS 2.0 1100 and mast Aero SLS 75 cm
