After two years of research and development, F-ONE is proud to present the brand-new edition of the
BANDIT, our legendary kite, filled with innovations and offering ever more sensations and
performances. Thanks to our new CODE-TEC fabric, this BANDIT TEC is now lighter and more
responsive than ever, and benefits from new advances in design.
Features:
Brand new CODE-TEC fabric on leading edge and struts for lightness, responsiveness
and stability
Exceptional and precise handling
Performance guaranteed in the entire wind range
Constant forward traction for greater comfort
Effortless upwind abilities
Optimized jumps and kite loops
New one-pump system for faster inflation and easier deflation
Our CODE-TEC fabric offers an exceptional combination of lightness and strength. With less
elongation and higher tear resistance, the CODE-TEC provides greater structural stiffness, minimizing
deformation under load. This leads to a more precise and sharper feel, as well as a more reactive
handling, all while ensuring your kite maintains its shape in any conditions.
This material has been central to the new BANDIT TEC's design, marking the entry into a new era of
this emblematic F-ONE kite. Sporting renewed graphic design as well, the BANDIT TEC is once again
more versatile than ever, adapting perfectly to all disciplines: strapless, foil, Big Air, freeride, wave, etc.
Responsive and precise, this BANDIT TEC boasts exceptional handling, with enough support through
the bar to let you feel every movement of the kite without forcing.
In strong winds, the kite positions itself at the edge of the wind window, maintaining a constant forward
traction with no side pull. The result is remarkable upwind performance, without the need for too much
edging, saving energy and freeing up your board.
In the low end, the BANDIT TEC offers you maximal support, distributed evenly over the harness and
back, taking the strain off your arms. You can ride effortlessly and steadily, enjoying a light bar feel at
all times, making every session super satisfying.
Jumps are a real pleasure with this BANDIT TEC. The stable support through the harness, combined
with its maneuverability and responsiveness, makes it easy to nail the perfect takeoff. The boost is
powerful and vertical, giving you impressive amplitude and height. Kite loops are also made easier
thanks to the kite’s responsiveness. Traction is perfectly balanced, allowing you to land smoothly
whatever the wind strength.
Combining performance, lightness, maneuverability and responsiveness, the BANDIT TEC excels in
all disciplines, anywhere, anytime, in every condition, and no matter your level. A real pleasure to ride
with, this new kite highlights once again our ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and
accessibility.
LINX Bar
Our LINX BAR 4 LINES now benefits from new SK99 lines, made from the strongest available Dyneema fibers available on the market. It also features a new pigtail system and a new adjustable V-split system (low V, high V, high V+).
The new SK99 lines offer increased durability and greater resistance to abrasion and elongation. Thanks to these new lines, the performances and connection with the kite are greatly enhanced, and the bar feedback is more direct and precise.
The new removable pigtail system allows for easier line extensions addition, and for improved repairability.
The LINX BAR is our control system, a dual adjustable length bar that comes in two sizes (38/45cm and 45/52cm). It perfectly blends lower weight and simplicity with excellent comfort and function.
