Duotone Front Wing Glide 2.0 SLS and D/LAB
Which is best for you SLS or D/LAB:
Duotone Front Wing Glide 2.0SLS
Introducing the Glide 2.0 SLS – the evolution of Duotones best-selling Glide wings, crafted to enhance performance while maintaining the core attributes that made the original Glide range so popular. With our growing range of foils, Duotone saw an opportunity to steer the Glide wings towards maximizing their true essence: superior pump and glide.
While developing the Glide 2.0, they embraced a more cambered profile to generate additional lift and pushed the original glide outline concept even further. The new design focuses on keeping more surface area near the center of the wing, where most of the lift is produced, resulting in thin, low-drag tips. This adjustment has significantly improved the lift-to-drag ratio, making the wings feel exceptionally lifty and efficient for their size. In fact, we recommend selecting one size down from the previous Glide range to fully benefit from the enhancements of the Glide 2.0.
The increased aspect ratio not only allows downsizing but also makes the Glide 2.0 well suited for Downwind Foiling and Prone Foiling. The larger 1350 model even functions as a dock start wing for more experienced riders with its lifty and stall-friendly character. The thin tips are easy to roll from side to side, making the new Glide 2.0 not only more efficient and lower drag but also more fun to turn and maneuver.
They developed the Glide 2.0 with our new range of H stabilizers, which offer the best all-around performance across various disciplines and conditions the Glide 2.0 is designed for.
Built in performance-oriented SLS construction in four sizes: 750, 900, 1100, and 1350, the Glide 2.0 is the perfect upgrade for your foiling journey, offering optimized lift, efficiency, playfulness, and overall performance across multiple foiling disciplines.
Key Features: Glide SLS
- LOW DRAG: The low drag tips improve glide efficiency and speed allowing for smoother and effortless riding.
- EFFICIENCY: Highly efficient in each size, the Glide 2.0 wings provide lift comparable to one size up from the previous Glide range.
- EARLY TAKE-OFF: The increased lift enables early take offs and low stalling speed ensuring a smooth and sustained flight even at lower speeds.
- COMPATIBLE WITH STABILIZERS H/S/P: To maximize the performance of the Glide 2.0 SLS in your preferred riding conditions, the wing performs incredibly in combination with our new Stabilizer H for all-round performance but is also compatible with the stabilizer S for wave riding and P for speed orientated riders.
Key Features: Glide D/LAB
The next generation of Duotone's Glide range in premium D/LAB construction. Designed to meet the demands of the very best, it features a Semi-Glider low-drag design that offers a remarkable speed range and superior pump and glide performance across various foiling disciplines. The Glide 2.0 D/LAB is highly efficient for its size, delivering lift comparable to one size up from the previous Glide series, achieving early take-off effortlessly and remaining stall-friendly at lower riding speeds.
The Glide 2.0 D/LAB excels in providing the perfect mix of glide, pump, and maneuverability. With a high aspect ratio of 10.2 – 10.3, it offers improved glide and pump performance compared to its predecessor. The new profile incorporates improved lift-to-drag values, enhancing efficiency and overall performance. A wider chord in the center facilitates early take-off and increased lift, while the lower chord and thinner tips enable improved tip-to-tip turning and maintain neutral behavior when breaching. The re-designed profile, combined with our D/LAB Semi-Glider design, elevates the performance of the Glide 2.0 D/LAB to new heights.
Paired with the new Stabilizer H, the Glide 2.0 D/LAB reduces drag and improves pumping efficiency, offering a seamless ride.
Constructed using a computer-simulated D/LAB layup, it utilizes a special mix and orientation of carbon and HM Carbon fibers, ensuring highly optimized flex and strength.
Available in 620, 750, and 900cm², the D/LAB wings are identical in shape to the SLS wings. The full Carbon semi-glider construction not only reduces overall weight but also noticeably reduces drag, making it the top choice for serious foilers looking for the best performance available. Experience the ultimate in foiling performance with the Glide 2.0 D/LAB!
