KITE BANDIT 18 F‑ONE

Anywhere, anytime, in any conditions

The new BANDIT brings the pleasure of riding within everyone’s reach. This BANDIT 18 delivers the same unmistakable feel and the versatility that have made it a legend, but now optimised and refined to put its performance within reach of any rider.

Our ambition was simple: to make every movement easier and more natural for all riders in any condition. By refining power management and depower capability, we have slightly reduced riding speed to offer greater control and comfort.

Based on the design and success of our latest BANDIT, this new edition inherits all its strengths: the Staggered Seams, which provide a perfectly even profile and exceptional stability in the air; an optimised fabric distribution for the ideal balance between performance and comfort; and its reliable Delta C-Shape. It also features a new 160 g Dacron on the leading edge, stronger and more durable, which helps maintain performance and ensures a longer service life.

As a result, this new BANDIT delivers steady, controlled speed, direct and intuitive handling and more comfortable riding than ever, even when conditions get demanding.

On the water everything is easier: riding in chop is smoother, edging feels more natural and jumps are more accessible. Power control in the upper wind range is exceptional, letting you extend your sessions without fatigue. Planing is instant, bar feel is precise without being exhausting and manoeuvrability is excellent, whether you ride a twintip, surf strapless or are attempting your first kiteloops.

From your first sessions to your most ambitious manoeuvres, the BANDIT inspires confidence from the very start and grows with you as you progress.
