Description
Duotone's lightest, most competitive freestyle sail
The Idol LTD is Duotone's competition freestyle sail, in its biggest update since 2014: 200 g lighter thanks to high-tech single-layer reinforcements, without reducing the thickness of the membrane. Its Batten Free Center concept makes it load up smoothly: more wind range, instant planing and acceleration, more control in chop, easier to duck and more lift in jumps.
Sizes 3.6 – 5.2 m² · 4 battens · No cambers · RDM mast
Who it's for
- Competition freestyle riders.
- Freestyle riders looking for lift and a sail that feels very light in the hands.
What makes it special
01 Convex Dacron luff panel
Maximum elasticity with no batten distortion: maximum lift in clew-first jumps.
02 Batten Free Center
A larger gap between the foot batten and the one above the boom: more wind range, more lift in aerial tricks and better balance when flipping the sail.
03 Light Done Right construction
Between 200 and 300 g lighter without reducing the thickness of the main panel, so it keeps its durability.
04 Hollow lower leech
Stabilises the profile just above the boom and stops the leech from fluttering.
05 iRocket 2.0
Each batten's tension is factory-set with a torque wrench.
Where it shines: competition and new-school freestyle on flat water or in chop.

Data from Duotone's official chart. Boom and luff are the maximum measurements for each size. Vario top: adjustable, takes more than one mast length; Fixed: not adjustable. Mast: recommended / alternative model and diameter (RDM or SDM); recommended / alternative length. Recommended outhaul tension with a VTS Tail boom: min. +2 to max. +4. If you're torn between two sizes, choose the smaller one if you're light or ride in strong wind, and the larger one if you want to plane earlier. Check the selector for the sizes available in store.
