The wait is finally over. The brand new Duotone Rebel D/LAB 2026 has officially landed, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most exciting big air kites of the year. Built straight out of the Duotone Laboratory with next-generation materials and a completely modernised design, this is the highest-performance Rebel ever released.
At Worthing Watersports we’re proud to be a Duotone Specialist Store, and the Rebel D/LAB 2026 is one of the most advanced freeride and big-air kites we’ve seen. Whether you’re chasing height, effortless control, or crazy hangtime, this kite delivers a flying experience that sits in a league of its own.
What Makes the Rebel D/LAB 2026 Special?
The Rebel D/LAB is built using cutting-edge Aluula D/TX and Trinity TX materials, giving it an ultra-light, ultra-efficient structure. It lifts instantly with minimal input and holds hangtime for days. Steering feels smooth and predictable with incredibly fast depower, giving you full confidence even in gusty or overpowered conditions.
A refined 5-strut frame keeps the kite rock solid. The redesigned arc and shortened chord reduce sideways pull and create a cleaner, more vertical takeoff. You’ll notice faster loop recovery, sharper feedback, and more control during big committed sends.
For riders into board-offs and technical air tricks, this kite has been engineered to match the modern big-air scene perfectly. It’s pure Rebel DNA, but with every detail pushed forward.
What’s New for 2026?
- More vertical takeoff with reduced lateral pull
- Sharper and more direct bar feel thanks to a pulley-free bridle
- Faster and more reliable loop recovery
- Lighter, more dynamic handling with Aluula D/TX
- Improved steering and responsiveness under load
- Modernised big air performance rooted in legendary Rebel DNA

Why Riders Are So Excited
The Rebel D/LAB is designed for riders who want maximum height with clean, controlled movement in the air. The new construction makes the kite more torsionally responsive, more stable under load, and far more efficient in strong winds. It fills the gap between traditional freeride and cutting-edge big air perfectly.
If you’re into huge straight-up boosts, huge hangtime, reliable catches, and stylish board-offs, this is the kite everyone will be talking about in 2026.
