Description

The F-One Bandit XV is incredibly stable in the air, no matter what the wind does. Its absolute control allows you to perform in all areas. The kite turns every gust into forward traction.

Improve your big air tricks with the new Bandit. The loop is faster this year with a shorter radius allowing you to adjust the intensity as much as you like. You get full support from your kite, landings are smoother as the kite provides extra lift before landing.

The piloting is direct, every action you give on the bar is immediately executed by the wing with a precise bar feedback that allows you to adjust instantly for a very linear feeling without jerks.

The hangtime, jump height and vertical boost have been significantly improved with the new F-One Bandit XV. You jump effortlessly.

Going upwind is easy and comfortable. The Bandit XV will bring you back to your starting point after trying new tricks or trying to beat your WOO record.

The leading edge has been redesigned with an extra segment and an optimized diameter for outstanding maneuverability and stability.

The double vertical panel along the double spinnaker trailing edge and the lighter Dacron between S1 and S2 have greatly improved profile control for increased stability.

The reinforcements and the quality of the construction have been improved for more control.

Most Wanted for 15 years, the F-One Bandit XV never fails to surprise.

Delta C-Shape
The delta shape provides exceptional stability in the shock position and allows for higher front end placement. The Delta C-Shape is a new shape patented by F-One and has been used for 15 years. It was born from a research to optimize the aerodynamic performance of the wing and its depower. The Delta C-Shape allows for a greater surface area distribution in the centre of the wing, thus increasing the projected area. The Delta C-Shape allows to keep performance and fluidity in the maneuverability.

Reactor Valve
Quick inflation and deflation valve.

Auto Relaunch
When the kite is on the water on its leading edge, the C-Shape combined with the Delta's pivot point, allows it to automatically flip over the ear and position itself at the edge of the window ready to take off. The kite will then slide towards the edge of the window, ready to be relaunched quickly and easily from the water.

Force Frame
F-One has developed a new construction by optimizing strength and weight. The Force Frame is a homogeneous dacron structure, including the leading edge, trailing edge and battens, forming a real skeleton covered with spinnaker fabric only in the least sensitive areas.

Technoforce
Teijin's Technoforce™ is a high-density Polyester fabric with a ripstop structure composed of yarns resistant to very high tensions.
