DESIGNER INTERVIEW DICE 2021 - RALF GRÖSEL

The 2021 Dice competes on the elite stage in both the freestyle world tour and the King of the Air. Our redesign in 2020 reimagined the DICE as the legitimate example of extreme versatility. Such progress has had an incredible impact on the 2021 Duotone product portfolio, with clear separation between the models.

Im confused about something on this kite. He mentions they are keeping the Airport Valve? I thought Duotone was using Maxflow? What am i not getting?

These are two different things Dracop..

Airport valve = your inflate/deflate port where you put your pump on
Maxflow = tubes from LE to struts

So in the marketing they claim new stiffer materials and reduced weight for the Dice 2021. They do not specifically say that it is SLS / Penta TX altho their pivot of the Dice to an Advanced rider model would fit the SLS target market. Anyone know if the Dice 2021 is simply all SLS (eg no SLS model as all of the Dice are using Penta TX)?

I like this review on MACkite about the Dice 2021, very well said.

« This kite loves to loop out of tricks. Downloops, kiteloops redirection. This kite loves to move! It's also exceptional for unhooked freestyle. The pop and slack is near perfection in my opinion.

The Dice has always been good in that arena. For the experienced freerider, the Dice is an underrated gem. You do have to work the kite as you can not set it and forget it.

You must generate apparent wind with this kite. You have to really move it to ride. While you have to put more into the kite, you get more out of it.

The weakness in the Dice lies with new riders or anyone who doesn't want to work their kite. If you want an automatic set-it-and-forget-it feel, look elsewhere.

If you just want to cruise and jump, the Dice might not be the right kite for you. Maybe look to the Evo or the Rebel.

As for the waves, I don't care too much for the Dice. It is designed for them but again, it's aimed at the more active kite flyer. If you want a set-it-and-forget-it drifting true surf experience, the Neo, the Roam or the Drifter are going to be better. The Dice does perform well if you are riding anything but onshore conditions. Just remember that you will have to work the kite.

To sum up, the Dice doesn't feel much different. It has its place in the lineup and the new improvements will help with jumping and longevity on the bridle.

This is aimed at experienced riders and freestylers who want a high performance kite that requires a high performance rider. »

True Surfing Experience Lol! On what planet is wave riding with a kite set it and forget it?

More clueless garbage coming out of the kite marketers mouths, confusing the punters.
