This new BANDIT is even more stable in the air, no matter what the wind is doing.
From freeride to kite foiling, Big Air or strapless, the Bandit XVI can do it all extremelly well.
Thanks to its legendary Delta C-Shape, the only still-patented kite design, the Bandit continues to deliver incomparable bar feeling, the best relaunching ability and exceptional stability.
An impressive instant steering response offers precision flying with the best balance between ease of input and feedback impulses from the kite.
This results into a very linear feel with no stalling.
Going upwind is easier and more comfortable than ever. The bandit it will charge you back upwind after trying new tricks and jumps!
Most Wanted for 16 years and still running, the BANDIT never fails to impress.
What’s new?
1. Staggered seams
These break the kite’s back lines tension by balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth, which helps distribute the load over a wider area, and maintain the original shape even under high loads. We kept the fabric’s orientation towards tension as well.
2. New Fabrics Weights on the Trailing Edge
On 9 SQM and smaller
On the back of the profile, the two vertical 52g panels have been changed to one, and on sizes 9m² and smaller we developed a new 66g polyester double ripstop panel. It is stronger and more resistant on elongation to offer a better control of the profile on smaller sizes for higher winds.
On 10 SQM and bigger
On sizes of 10m² and above, we have kept the 52g polyester to guarantee lightness, as well as the two layers of 52g canopy with staggered seams on the trailing edge.
3. Sleeker Struts’ Reinforcements
The struts’ reinforcements are now super sleek as well 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 once wet.
4. Bridles & Pulleys
Our original 5 points connections bridle and two pulleys will help you keep the arc stable even in overpowered conditions.
The new, CNC-shaped, anodized aluminum low friction “pulleys” are super lightweight and increase the kite’s reactivity. They also raise the bridle’s resistance to abrasion and its overall durability.
