Will be interesting to see if we get some competition on price level for aluula kites.
But based on general price level of Duotone products I guess they will be more expensive then the OR flite/roam.
3K € for the 13m and 3.3K € for the 15m is my guess.

When is the D-Lab Juice going on sale in the UK. Bored of waiting given we are now in the summer months.
Our Duotone branch is already running tests of aluula juices. Very light on the bar, very quick for the size. I would say the power delivery is slightly greater if greater at all than the oridinary kite of the same size. Did not have a chance to check the lowest windspeed it can stay in the air. But imho if it really stays in the air at marginal 4-6 kts winds it will be killer for foiling. Othgerwise for TT freeride the biggest benefit is the agility of a larg kite. Darkslides etc no problem at all to finish the loop, both sizes loop very easily.

Anyone out there who can compare the 2021 Juice with the 2019 model which I now own?
The switch from my 2019 Rebel to 2021 Rebel was great and I was really amazed about the turning speed and looping abilities all probably because of those flex struts.
If the 2021 Juice is again such a big improvement compared to the 2019 then I might be looking for one..

I can’t compare the two but I do have a 2021 13m Juice and am very impressed compared to my previous 13m 2019 Breeze which was itself pretty good. Seems to get going in next to nowt and generate apparent wind very well with a light wind board, plus fast turning and excellent boosting when the wind gets up.
Not sure the exact difference vs 2019 though.
