One session you are loading the edge for technical freestyle, the next you are throwing fast loops, and when the swell arrives you want a kite that can drift down the line. The Dice SLS is Duotone’s answer: a fast, reactive 3-strut crossover with a premium SLS frame and a deliberately sporty feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2027 the Dice SLS receives a stiffer, higher-pressure structure, a revised strut layout and refined canopy tension around the tips. Those changes are aimed at cleaner shape retention, more defined bar feedback and tighter, more predictable turning. The character is still unmistakably Dice - lively and direct - but the 2027 version feels more composed when you load it hard or commit to a fast turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose the Dice SLS 2027?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplosive pop and clean slack\u003c\/strong\u003e for hooked and unhooked freestyle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast, precise turning\u003c\/strong\u003e for loops, transitions and wave manoeuvres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRevised 2027 strut layout\u003c\/strong\u003e for calmer flight and clearer bar feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigher inflation pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e for increased structural stiffness and shape retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStable drift\u003c\/strong\u003e when riding toward the kite on a wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSLS construction with Penta TX\u003c\/strong\u003e for a crisp, performance-focused feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-strut crossover design\u003c\/strong\u003e that keeps the kite agile across multiple disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFreestyle: load, pop and slack\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dice SLS sits deep enough in the window to let you load the edge properly and release with authority. The stiffer 2027 structure helps the kite retain its shape under load, which translates into a cleaner, more explosive pop. After take-off the power can release progressively, creating the slack advanced riders want for passes and technical unhooked tricks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLoops and fast steering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Dice should turn quickly, but speed alone is not enough. The revised structure and tip tension are designed to keep the steering response defined through the full arc of the turn. That gives you more confidence when looping close to the water, redirecting for a landing or using the kite aggressively in onshore surf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWave riding and drift\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dice SLS is not a pure wave specialist like the Neo, but its drift and responsive steering make it a genuine option for riders who split their time between freestyle and surf. Ride toward the kite and it can float with reduced line tension; steer it and the response is immediate enough to reposition quickly in a critical section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e2027 pressure and frame tuning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuotone increased the operating pressure for 2027: up to 10 m the Dice SLS is designed around 9 PSI, while 11 m and larger use 8 PSI. The extra pressure supports a stiffer airframe, helping the kite feel more precise when heavily loaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePenta TX SLS frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e lightweight, low-stretch material for a direct connection and strong shape retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrinity TX canopy:\u003c\/strong\u003e proven 3x2 canopy construction focused on durability and dynamic response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRevised strut layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e tuned for calmer flight and more defined handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimised trailing-edge and tip tension:\u003c\/strong\u003e supports cleaner turning and loop control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is the Dice SLS 2027 for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dice SLS 2027 is best for advanced and expert riders who want one premium kite for freestyle, freeride, loops and waves. It rewards active riding and precise input. A beginner can technically fly it, but riders looking for maximum forgiveness and easy progression will normally be happier on a calmer, more dedicated freeride model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

It offers useful drift and fast steering, although riders who want a pure wave specialist should also consider the Neo or Neo SLS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Dice SLS good for unhooked freestyle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Explosive pop, controlled power delivery and clean slack are central to the Dice SLS character, making it one of Duotone’s strongest choices for advanced freestyle riders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat changed for 2027?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Dice SLS uses a stiffer high-pressure setup, a revised strut layout and refined canopy tension to improve stability, bar definition and turning control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKitefactory verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the \u003cstrong\u003eDice SLS 2027\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want a kite that feels alive in your hands and lets you move between technical freestyle, fast loops and wave sessions without changing your entire setup.
