F-ONE BANDIT 18 2027

The F-ONE BANDIT 18 2027 is an iconic all-round kite refined to make every move easier and more natural. This eighteenth generation keeps the versatility that made the Bandit legendary while delivering a calmer, more controlled and comfortable ride in all conditions.

F-ONE has refined the power management and depower, slightly reducing the kite's riding speed to improve control and comfort. The result is consistent and controlled speed, direct and intuitive handling, excellent high-end control and a precise bar feel without being tiring. The Bandit is equally at home freeriding, riding strapless, jumping or working on your first kiteloops.

CONTROL AND VERSATILITY

The Bandit feels particularly comfortable in demanding conditions. Its controlled speed makes choppy water easier to navigate and helps make edging more natural when jumping. Power management in the high end allows for longer sessions with less fatigue, while the instantaneous planing start and excellent maneuverability make the kite accessible from beginner sessions through to advanced riding.

The trusted Delta C-Shape provides a versatile balance of aerodynamic performance and depower. The three-strut construction combines stability and responsiveness, while the medium aspect ratio delivers a balanced mix of stability, maneuverability and responsiveness. The Bandit also features F-ONE's Auto Relaunch system for quick and easy relaunching.
