F-ONE BANDIT 2021 MANGO/SLATE

The legendary F-One Bandit has been a firm favourite for the casual weekend warrior to the leading world champion riders for many year-end is now back with a focus on freeride, big air riding. The Bandit possesses killer style along with amazing bar feedback which gives you a real feel good felling when on the water which is exactly what you want from your new toys. If your new to the sport and want a kite that will push your progression or a seasoned rider that wants a kite that can perform in all conditions then look no further than the F-One Bandit.

2021 marks F-Ones's second year splitting the BANDIT into two distinct lines to allow for more versatility, depending on your riding style. While key features remain consistent, the team are proud to have once again further developed, through troubled times, the BANDIT. A quality kite which you deserve to have on the water.

The BANDIT 2021 is extremely pleasing to fly whilst having a sporty feeling. Its behaviour is direct and reactive as well as stable, smooth and homogenous.
Its power is totally controllable and the kite is not physical to handle. Whether you want to park it and ride freely for hours or send it throwing some big kiteloops, the BANDIT will deliver.

This year’s BANDIT exceeds expectations in terms of shape control. You will not be bothered by unwanted movements coming from the kite. F-One have developed a new panel layout and the new trailing edge reinforcement allowed to them to get a super sleek profile. This resulted in stability in flight never reached before, providing full confidence and unmatched performance. The work done on the skin tension in the canopy makes the balance between stability and manoeuvrability perfectly even.

Going upwind has never been so comfortable. This year R&D have worked on reducing the drag, and creating positive forward momentum allowing you to stay even longer on the water.

DETAILS
