Expert Review
The most successful big air kite ever made. The Evo D/Lab flies behind you with ease, has an unmoving sweetspot across all wind strengths, and delivers roughly 30% more performance than standard kites. But it stalls on loops if you are sheeted in, the durability is terrible, and it costs more than some cars.
Pros
- +Flies behind you with ease for incredible second lift
- +Sweetspot never moves regardless of wind strength
- +Standardized pop and stance across all conditions
- +Drives forward into gusts instead of being pushed back
- +Years ahead of competition when released
- +Won every major competition in 2023
Cons
- −Stalls on loops if sheeted in - must loop half-sheeted out
- −Terrible durability - bladders twist, kites explode
- −Extremely expensive without bar included
- −Bag barely fits the 6m, pump nozzle is proprietary
- −Duotone stock lines are not trusted by their own pro team
Best for
Serious big air riders who want the absolute best flying characteristics and can tolerate durability issues
Not for
Budget-conscious riders, anyone who values reliability, or beginners who loop sheeted in
Synthesized from: Portrait Kite
