F-One Bandit 2015

详情

The all new F-One Bandit 8 (VII ***5) is a totally new designed kite offering better performance and safety than ever before yet performs at all levels no matter what your skill level. The whole kite has been reassessed for the development in terms of fabric usage and layout and the trailing edge has been completely redesigned.

F-One's goal was not to offer just a versatile kite but the best kite for each discipline and every style of rider whether you are just a beginner or pro athlete - the F-One Bandit ***5 (8 VIII) is for you!

With the Bandit 8, you will feel a real gain in stability and will have a more "direct feel" connection with the kite, allowing you to feel precisely everything that you do with the control bar allowing you kiting to become a lot more accurate and easier. Just as if you were a pro-rider! The lateral traction has also been reduced without compromising the available power for an early planing and this has made the kite less physical to ride, resulting in more control on your board to carve and edge.

The new Bandit ***5 keeps it's constant traction in the lower wind range without stalling, making it easier to ride underpowered. The Bandit now flies through the lulls as if there is nothing but constant wind.

With 7 best-seller editions, the choice of the Delta shape speaks for itself and is known to be a great long-term option. This shape guarantees an easy relaunch, with the auto-relaunch feature and offers a great performance in all kiteboarding disciplines. In conjunction with the EVO bridal system, which allows a 5th line safety system but without the inconvenient, the design is a definite winner.

Compared to other kite shapes with great depower, the Bandits bar depowers on a short distance, which allows the rider to depower completely his kite without having to extend the arms fully and offers more reactivity. Another advantage is the easily accessible trim cleat, for an easy adjustment of the power.

Overall the Bandit ***5 (8 VIII) is more stable with less unwanted movement (fluttering) while riding together with a greater smoothness, control and less lateral force. All this added to a definite lighter feeling and a more efficient, and direct feel in the bar.
