Our CODE-TEC fabric offers an exceptional combination of lightness and strength. With less elongation and higher tear resistance, the CODE-TEC provides greater structural stiffness, minimizing deformation under load. This leads to a more precise and sharper feel, as well as a more reactive handling, all while ensuring your kite maintains its shape in any conditions.

This material has been central to the new BANDIT TEC’s design, marking the entry into a new era of this emblematic F-ONE kite. Sporting renewed graphic design as well, the BANDIT TEC is once again more versatile than ever, adapting perfectly to all disciplines: strapless, foil, Big Air, freeride, wave, etc.

Responsive and precise, this BANDIT TEC boasts exceptional handling, with enough support through the bar to let you feel every movement of the kite without forcing.

In strong winds, the kite positions itself at the edge of the wind window, maintaining a constant forward traction with no side pull. The result is remarkable upwind performance, without the need for too much edging, saving energy and freeing up your board.

In the low end, the BANDIT TEC offers you maximal support, distributed evenly over the harness and back, taking the strain off your arms. You can ride effortlessly and steadily, enjoying a light bar feel at all times, making every session super satisfying.

Jumps are a real pleasure with this BANDIT TEC. The stable support through the harness, combined with its maneuverability and responsiveness, makes it easy to nail the perfect takeoff. The boost is powerful and vertical, giving you impressive amplitude and height. Kite loops are also made easier thanks to the kite’s responsiveness. Traction is perfectly balanced, allowing you to land smoothly whatever the wind strength.

Combining performance, lightness, maneuverability and responsiveness, the BANDIT TEC excels in all disciplines, anywhere, anytime, in every condition, and no matter your level. A real pleasure to ride with, this new kite highlights once again our ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and accessibility.


DELTA C-SHAPE
DELTA C-SHAPE technology design offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite.
CODE TEC
Introducing Code-Tec, the groundbreaking new material set to redefine performance on the latest F-ONE kites.
TECHNOFORCE
TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable.
AUTO RELAUNCH
F-ONE’s auto relaunch is quick and easy and releases the kite from the water with the perfect amount of traction.
REACTOR VALVE
The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.
STAGGERED SEAMS
This brand-new F-ONE’s design innovation offers an amazingly sleeked profile for more efficiency and sharper performances.

BACK LINE TUNING
How to adjust the settings?

STREAMLINED LEADING EDGE END TIPS
The leading edge tips benefit from a reduced diameter, they are streamlined to lower the drag and equipped with a strap to avoid bridle tangling

FLAT SEWING 
Stronger assembly of the panels: they are now glued and sewn together to make the canopy more rip resistant.

VERTICAL STRUT CUT
The kite's struts are designed with a vertical cut in order to optimize the strength / diameter ratio.

ONE-PUMP SYSTEM
New one-pump system for faster inflation and easier deflation.

KEVLAR® REINFORCEMENT ON LEADING EDGE 
Most seams on the leading edge are protected with an abrasion-resistant Kevlar® fabric to prevent the seams from deteriorating when the kite's profile is subjected to aggressive ground friction

SPIDER BRIDLE
The Spider Bridle is a multi-point of connection well dispatched along the leading edge which offers a better control of the arc of the kite during the flight. The stability in all wind conditions is very impressive and pushes the high wind range to incredible limits.
