Description

After two years of development, F-One rebuilt its legendary BANDIT around a new fabric. The BANDIT TEC uses CODE-TEC, which F-One describes as an exceptional combination of lightness and strength.

What CODE-TEC changes. The fabric stretches less and resists tearing better, which gives the canopy more structural stiffness and less deformation under load. In practice, the kite feels more precise and sharper, reacts faster, and holds its shape in all conditions — while being lighter and more responsive than before.

Character. The BANDIT remains F-One's all-rounder: freeride, jumping and everyday riding on one kite, with predictable handling.

Sizes and wind. 6m 30+ knots, 7m 25+, 8m 20–35, 9m 16–30, 10m 12–26, 11m 11–24, 12m 10–22, 14m 8–18. Kite-only weight from 2.06 kg (6m) to 3.70 kg (14m). Sizes to 10m on a 45 cm bar, 11m and up on 52 cm.

Who it is not for. Riders who want the newest, lightest BANDIT should compare it with the BANDIT Brainchild. Dedicated big-air riders get more from the TRIGGER, and wave riders from the ADDIKT.

Size. Message us your weight and spot; we'll suggest a two-kite quiver.

“We ride this gear ourselves and teach on it. The main thing is picking the size for your weight and wind: bigger in light wind, smaller when it blows. If you're unsure, message us — we'll put together an honest setup, no upselling.”
