KEY FEATURES

• SIMPLY THE BEST DRIFT
  The Neo is famous for its incredible drifting abilities; the D/LAB version is up to 30% lighter than the original version, allowing the kite to float down the line in a manner you would not think possible.
  
• DYNAMIC HANDLING / HYBRID FLEX STRUT
  The turning speed and the steering impulse of the Neo is exceedingly quick due to the new flex strut design. The new Aluula fabric makes the kite incredibly light while also creating a stiffer, more responsive frame and each kite has been carefully fine-tuned for performance, the flex strut was individually designed to each size of the kite.
  
• UNRIVALLED STEERING EVEN WHEN DEPOWERED
  One of the unique and enchanting features of the Neo D/LAB is its ability to be direct and dynamic, even when the bar is pushed out and the kite is depowered. This feature allows you to ride the wave how you like without thinking about bar and kite control as much.
  
• INCREDIBLY POWERFUL WITH MASSIVE DEPOWER
  The range of the Neo D/LAB is unbelievable! It has a huge bottom end, thanks  to the lighter Aluula material, meaning you can get going on a smaller kite before other riders. Coupled with impressive depower, it has you out riding for longer when the wind picks up, and you can get away with a smaller quiver.
  
• D/LAB CONSTRUCTION
  This helps to reduce the overall weight of the kite and improve performance by making the frame stiffer. In addition, materials like Aluula and Trinity TX make the kite exceedingly light while offering excellent durability.
  
• GEOMETRY TUNED TO SIZE
  The larger kites have been designed to use a wider arc and have less sweep in the tips, maximizing power. At the same time, the smaller sizes have more sweep and a narrower arc focusing on manoeuvrability.
  
  
  

ALUULA FRAME CONSTRUCTION NEO D/LAB
The new fabric in combination with new construction features reduces the weight of the kite by up to 30% compared to standard constructions and depending on the size, which is a considerable saving of up to 1kg, especially when the wind is light. Elsewhere the construction has been fine-tuned to reduce weight wherever possible, while innovative use of material weaves allows improved turning ability and response.

HYBRID FLEX STRUT
The new Hybrid Flex Strut offers the kite its exceptional performance and leads to slightly smoother and more refined handling. The turning is faster and feels more dynamic. These features are controlled by the precisely tuned ratio of Penta TX and STW70 adjusted to each size. The percentage of flex material in the tip struts decreases as the size increases.
