F-One Bandit TEC kite

F-One Bandit review — the one-kite quiver

Posted by Paddy on

The F-One Bandit has been a benchmark all-rounder for years, and the latest version is as versatile as ever. If you want one kite that does a bit of everything, start here.

Who it's for

Freeriders who want jumping, a bit of wave and easy progression from one kite. Beginner-friendly but with the range to keep you happy as you improve.

On the water

Smooth, predictable power, easy relaunch and a comfortable bar feel. It turns quickly for a freeride kite, drifts well enough for waves, and boosts nicely when you want to send it.

Our verdict

A brilliant do-it-all kite and a safe recommendation for most riders. We stock the full F-One range in Galway. Browse F-One or message us for sizing.
