3k, the industry is out of hand. So sad to see such trend restricting the sport to an elite

[axarothfiefa]

Have you tested the Pace/Sensor4 combo both with and without the pornstache? I currently have no mustache but i can start growing one if needed. Thanks!

[justinsmith]

Definitely not. Kites cost way too much.

[jimmyjames]

Built using cheap labor and charging the cost of a car. Makes sense.

[jasonofmontreal]

The gold standard for kite content creation in terms of education/progression based information. It is very cool to see what a really well-made kite breakdown can look like!

[iiiiiii]

Hey Mike, great video. How would u compare it to the new aluula Code from slingshot? Jeremy posting pretty intense videos. Is it Rider skill gap or why aren't other brands posting such huge 20m+ Loops with high catching. Would be interested in your opinion

[paddle.kitesurf.tunisia]

while brands are seeking sales, Mike is looking for credibility. thanks Mike for your honest feedback.

[mickaelgerbaud]

Super cool video for comparaisons. Really good job !

But I really don’t like where the kite industry is going. 1500€ for a 9m was already a lot of money, and now it’s double. When the kite cost a dime to the brand, we shouldn’t encourage prices to go that high and it’s sad to see the sport getting more expensive each year !

[cangogus]

Thanks for the unbiased review. I want to order an 8, 10 and a 12m and 2 sensor pro bars. Can you recommend a core shop?

[kite.odyssey.kiteschool]

IMO absolutely no kite is worth 3000€. But I agree with you about duotone. They are scamming people ahahah

[benjamindidier]

Almost 10K for 3 kites quiver (with bar) add it a Carved Imperator and you get close to 12K…you may have the « best » gear available on the market but it is an insane price to pay…unless you are wealthy enough or a sponsored pro rider.
Don’t get me wrong I think it is fantastic to see new technology making kites lighter, stiffer, etc a real step up from traditional Dacron…it benefits to all level of riders but for now the price makes them to way too exclusive right now and I really hope this not road kitesurf industry goes in for the sake of the sport and audience.
Anyway thank you for your interesting video Mike.

[hansvandertoorn]

So with this expensive kite you also need a expensive new bar. I think i am happy with my Ozone

Could a beginner use this kite? Not planning to do any loops yet. Was just offered one slightly used.

[marcelbicmoura]

Your videos are insane! You have one of the best channels about kite in YouTube. Keep up the brilliant work. Cheers from Brazil. Wind is coming!

[esignoretti]

More than 4k total with its bar. No way I will ever buy a full quiver made of these kites. Do you know how many days can I buy on the water with a standard kite?! And I will improve more than with this kite just because the time in the water. 😂

[physmichaeltsui]

just been flying 8m Pace Pro for 5 sessions - whoa, mind-blowing, landed so many low loops that i would've eaten shxt had i gone out with XR

[NilzFR]

Any insight on the 12m pace pro? I got the EVO DLAB 10 and DLAB 15 Juice, but the Duotone Quality has been haunting me, so I want to give the pace 12 pro a shot. 85kg and 1, 90 - advanced rider. Any thoughts?

[daanwillems]

I’m getting a quiver. 8 and 10 Pace Pro, wondering if I should get a 12 Pace or 13.5 XR for light wind

[Jochumvideos]

I've consistently heard that CORE kites are known for their exceptional durability, standing up to tough conditions over time. In contrast, Duotone seems to have a less reliable reputation, with frequent horror stories circulating about bar lines and quick release issues. Many users in the D-Lab community have reported needing repairs or even selling their kites due to these problems. It’s definitely something to consider when choosing between the two brands.

[BenjaminLovelady]

Super stoked to see the new bar. The Sensor 3 Pro was so close to perfection, but threw it all away with the 2-line flagout. Glad they forced their own hand with the pulley-less bridle.
