Duotone Front Wing Glide 2.0 D/LAB

FAQ

For which disciplines is the Duotone Front Wing Glide 2.0 D/LAB suitable?

The Glide 2.0 D/LAB is a versatile high-performance front wing for downwind, prone foiling, dock start, pump foiling, and wing foiling. Thanks to its semi-glider design, strong lift, and excellent gliding properties, it is particularly suitable for riders looking for an efficient foil for a variety of conditions.

What distinguishes the D/LAB version from the Glide 2.0 SLS?

The D/LAB version is aimed at ambitious foilers with the highest demands: it uses a particularly lightweight full carbon construction with a carefully tuned carbon and HM carbon layup for maximum performance-to-weight ratio, minimal drag, and maximum efficiency. The SLS version offers a very good balance of performance, durability, and value for money.

In which sizes is the Glide 2.0 D/LAB available?

The Glide 2.0 D/LAB is available in sizes 620, 750, and 900 cm². This allows you to choose the surface area that is right for your body weight, skill level, and preferred area of use.

What does the high aspect ratio of the Glide 2.0 D/LAB mean?

With an aspect ratio of 10.2 to 10.3, the Glide 2.0 D/LAB is a true high-aspect wing. The high aspect ratio significantly improves the gliding and pumping properties and ensures a wide speed range while maintaining low drag.

How early does the Glide 2.0 D/LAB lift off, and how stable is it at low speeds?

The optimized profile with more depth in the mid section ensures easy take-offs and early lift. At the same time, the wing remains stable and stall-free even at lower speeds, so you can ride safely even in light conditions.

Which components can the Glide 2.0 D/LAB be combined with?

For a complete D/LAB setup, Duotone recommends the Glide 2.0 D/LAB front wing in combination with the Slim 2.0 D/LAB mast, the D/LAB tail, and the Stabilizer H back wing. These components are perfectly matched to one another and maximize the efficiency of your setup.

For which rider level is the Glide 2.0 D/LAB intended?

The Glide 2.0 D/LAB is designed for foilers with the highest demands. It is not a beginner wing, but is aimed at advanced and experienced riders looking for maximum performance, high efficiency, and a refined setup.

What advantages does the Stabilizer H offer in combination with the Glide 2.0 D/LAB?

In combination with the Stabilizer H, the drag of the Glide 2.0 D/LAB is further reduced and efficiency is significantly increased. This allows you to benefit from even better gliding and pumping properties, especially on longer downwind or pump sessions.
