Bandit S3 2022 F-One Kitesurf Kite

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 has released of the Bandit. The Bandit has changed over the years, but you can still immediately recognize the Bandit 2023 by the legendary and always very original Delta C shape.

The 16th edition of the F-one Bandit has focused on making the 2023 F-one Bandit as smooth and aerodynamic as possible. The advantage of the Bandit's super smooth and gradual profile is that the kite becomes more stable and maneuverable. Towards the LE, this can be seen in the stepped panel seams of the sail and the integrated rib tip dampers. All of this ensures a super smooth profile where the wind first comes into contact with the 2023 F-one Bandit. The updates can be seen even more clearly on the trailing edge. Here, the stepped panel seams are also visible, and on the smaller sizes (9m and below), a new 66g double polyester ripstop. These adjustments ensure a more stable trailing edge and, therefore, a more stable and smooth steering of the kite.

To make the steering of the F-one Bandit 2023 even smoother, the Bandit XVI features new anodized aluminum CNC-ed pulleys. These glide super smoothly over the trim line and ensure that the Bandit always maintains the perfect angle with the wind. Just like last year, we see the original 5-point trim connection combined with two pulleys on the F-one Bandit 2023. These pulleys also provide the extremely good depower properties of the F-one Bandit.

Besides 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 professionals and for starting on the water up to big jumps. As a beginner, the wide depower range, quick relaunch, and upwind riding features of the F-one Bandit 2023 are super enjoyable. The more advanced kitesurfer will love the Bandit 2023 for its incredible horizontal pull for big jumps, the possibility of kiteloops, and the hidden freestyle character, so you can also do unhooked tricks with the F-one Bandit 2023.
