For the 2023 version of the Bandit S4, the R&D team worked intensively on making the entire kite profile amazingly sleek and implemented original staggered seams on the trailing edge.

With this development, the seam’s tension line is broken, which means the entire profile of the canopy is leveled, even when the kite is fully powered. Adding to this the fabric’s orientation is  towards tension as well.

On the back of the profile, we have reduced the overtensions thanks to the new concept of staggered seams.

The two vertical TECHNOFORCE 52 panels have been transformed into one, and on sizes 8m² and smaller, we developed a new TECHNOFORCE 66 panel. This development makes the kite stronger and even more resistant on elongation. Consequently, you’ll get a better control of the profile on smaller sizes for higher winds.

On sizes above  8m², we maintain the TECHNOFORCE 52 to assure lightness, including the two layers of TECHNOFORCE 52 canopy with staggered seams on the trailing edge.

All of these developments lead to more efficiency when you’re riding. Overall, this  canopy profile brings a greater sense of stability, without feeling disturbances or the bar moving and leads to incredible performances in the high end of the wind range.

The struts’ reinforcements are super sleek thanks to the Kevlar strip on the top. This improves the kite’s steering and maneuverability, reduces the aerodynamic disturbances, and decreases the overall weight of the kite even if it is wet.

Maneuverability and total control in all conditions is guaranteed by the 4 points connections bridle and two pulleys .

CNC-shaped, anodized aluminum low friction “pulleys” are super lightweight and increase the kite’s reactivity, while also raise the bridle’s resistance to abrasion and its overall durability.

Bandit S4 brings an amazing handling and a super crisp steering response that delivers immediate reaction from inputs on the bar.

The rider will fell that is very easy to keep the BANDIT S4 ahead of every move and ready for the next input. Power delivery is clean, and although quick, very intuitive in feel to adapt to.

Thanks to F One legendary Delta C-Shape, the only still-patented kite design, this kite offers the usual incomparable bar feeling, the best relaunching ability and exceptional stability.
