Duotone Wing & Foiling Tech Talk - Unit Range 2025

Join our Wing Designer Ken Winner & Head of R&D Klaas Voget for an exclusive Tech Talk on the 2025 Unit range! Discover the all-new Unit SLS Concept Blue, which bridges the gap between the Unit D/LAB and the original Unit, offering powerful performance, stiffness, and sustainable innovation. Learn why the Unit D/LAB is the top performer with its Aluula Gold frame and explore key upgrades like the MOD3 S canopy, improved drift stability, and enhanced wave steering on the new Unit.

For 2025 all Unit models feature our new Fusion handles and Fusion boom technologs so you can choose your personal style!

I noticed the canopy is attached quite a length from the clew, what is the advantage? The baffle is obviously smaller than most other manufacturers and seems negligible now. Some talk about the advantage of a large baffle opening to equalise pressure either side of the strut etc, but with the strut partially following the draft profile this doesn’t seem possible with the Duotone.

Is it expected the ergo handles will reduce not only fatigue but also reduce numbness? How will flagging be impacted with the handles vs the boom? Also when you pump aggressively the swivel on the leash hits the top of your hand, has that been looked at?

The difference between Slick and Unit is not „too“ big.
With the boom option on the new Unit… does the slick makes sense anymore ? Do you take the slick from the market in the long term?

Have u made something with trailing age. Mine is tearing apart after 40-50 sessions on 2023 wings (I ve changed 4 already)

How you compare new Unit to Slick? I'm on market for 3.0 and trying to decide between Unit and Slick. I already have quiver of 2024 Slicks (4.0, 5.0, 6.5).

Great video explaining what's new for 2025 on the Unit. Wish Ken had explained why the Dlab Unit's strut has what looks like a short section of Dacron in the middle, between the handle mounting patches.

Is it a reinforcement in the area that gets folded in half when packing up the wing ?

[wynnebuilding]

Now that the Unit is available with a boom, what would be the performance difference between the Slick and the Unit?

Ken designs the best-selling wing, although your designer always finds the ugliest color combination 😉 neon pink and neon yellow on the original🤦‍♂️
