Hey guys, we need to set the record straight on something we got wrong in our recent kite comparison video. We talked about measuring the diameter of the leading edge of one of the kites, but we actually measured its circumference. Oops! We're sorry for the confusion and any head-scratching it may have caused. We take accuracy seriously and will make sure to use the right terms going forward. Thanks for tuning in and keeping us on our toes!

Very nice review, tks. You forgot to mention about price differences. For size 12m: Evo normal: 1949e, Evo SLS: 17% more expansive than Normal (2279e), and Evo Dlab: 62% more expansive than Normal (3149e). And also, Evo SLS 2023 is 13% more expansive than SLS 2022. And also, models like REBEL do NOT have a Normal model any more, you can only buy SLS Model (2489e)!! WTF Duotone. After 20 years of kiting with exNorth/Duotone, I think i am done with this BS, i will switch to another brand for my next quiver. I wish you good luck for selling those Dlabs..

Thank you, excellent informative review. I flew the 15M D Lab Juice in Sicily this summer in unusually light winds (8-12 knots). At 70kg it was a big surprise: responded like a 12M, handled the gusts and kept powered up better than the kites around me in the lulls. Expensive af but a perfect kite for Miami where I live now

Hey @KITEMANA team, you should do an review about all the famous kite on the market !! Big fan of the team and store. Let's go big!!

[collegepros]

This was an excellent overview of all the EVOs. Thanks!

[thebreak]

Nice video! … we want to know the difference small size in 30knots when looping low 🤙

[robk]

Yeah, want to see EVO DLAB 8m, looping in strong wind, on the click bar school version with the 12m line setup. Send it!

[Marcel_Surf_Life]

Nice summary about all necessary details and differences 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾😎

[dveralex]

The kite sure is nice, but 5000$ canadian dollars for 12m kite is insane. How can people afford these prices. Kite companies are pricing kitesurfers out of the sport. Make them more affordable not more expensive 😢😢

[eddiedaengineer]

Great video! Thanks a lot for putting it together for us, particularly when it looks so cold out!
Really interesting info. I'm so keen to try one. What I was wondering though is the SLS better than the dlab in any way? Or is the dlab just better in all ways?
Thank you!

[peteribs]

Nice video/job guys but this brand .... with gucci price, never ever ! Allula is 4% much expansive than dacron (I checked this) ... do you know what I mean ;-)

[kitesurfflyer]

Great review! Very bummed that they don't make a 14 or even 15 Evo D/Lab. That would be perfect for light wind areas (most of the world). I tried the Juice, but like my 15 Rebel SLS better.

[ArmandoCapriles]

nice video. how it's compare the bar pressure from the EVO SLS vs EVO DLab ?

[fuelbasti]

Great content. Thinking about just to have one kite and a 10 D/lab would be my deal (quite expensive)

[dropthatfone]

Great video! What would you guess the wind range to be for each evo model in a 12M?

[MrDwayno]

@KITEMANA team, do you have any feedback on repairs to the Aluula material? Assume most local repair shops would just use a dacron patch to repair?

[rolly]

One question: is the measured weight for the tested 12m kites or the 10m as animated at 0:35s?

[stevenoorschot]

Nice and technical, but there is a difference beteen diameter and circumference 😉

[kimsrensen]

Do you think the DLab increased wind rang will be able to substitute a standard 7-9-12 quiver with a Evo dlab 8-12 quiver?

[theo]

for the dlab evo what wind range works per size?
