F-one Bandit 2023 XVI Kite

Super fine all-round kite from F-one: the legendary Bandit 2023

The F-one Bandit 2023 is perhaps one of the most legendary kites on the market. The Bandit 2023 is already the 16th version that F-one releases of the Bandit. The Bandit has changed over the years, but you can still immediately recognize the Bandit 2023 by the legendary, and ever very first, Delta C-Shape. The 16th version has received some aerodynamic updates and in some sizes a new material that makes the Bandit 2023 fly better again.

For the 16th edition of the F-one Bandit, the F-one development team has focused on making the F-one Bandit 2023 as smooth and aerodynamic as possible. The advantage of a super smooth, gradual profile of the Bandit is that the kite becomes more stable and steers better. Towards the LE this can be seen in the staggered panel seams of the canopy and the integrated strut bumpers. All this ensures a super smooth profile where the wind first comes into contact with the F-one Bandit 2023. The updates can be seen even more clearly in the trailing edge. Here too you see the staggered panel seams and in the small sizes (9m and smaller) a new 66g polyester double ripstop. These adjustments ensure a more stable trailing edge and therefore a more stable and smoother steering of the kite.

To make steering the F-one Bandit 2023 even smoother, the Bandit XVI has new CNC-ed pulleys made of anodized aluminum. This glides super smooth over the bridle line and ensures that the Bandit always has the perfect angle to the wind. Just like last year, we see the original 5-point bridle connection in combination with two pulleys in the F-one Bandit 2023. These pulleys also provide the extremely good depower properties of the F-one Bandit.

In addition to being one of the most legendary kites on the market, the F-one Bandit 2023 is also one of the most versatile kites. Suitable for beginners to pros and for water starts to big air. As a beginner, the large depower range, fast relaunch and upwind performance characteristics of the F-one Bandit 2023 are super nice. The more advanced kitesurfer will love the Bandit 2023 because of the aweseome horizontal pull for big air, the possibility of kiteloops and the hidden freestyle character, so you can also do unhooked tricks with the F-one Bandit 2023.
