After spending countless hours testing and developing prototypes, F-One are proud to release the new and improved 2021 BANDIT. It crosses over to disciplines like foiling and even wave riding super well. Also managed to get a way more homogenous experience from low to high wind range with each size of the range. F-One has reached new levels of stability making riding comfortable and safe no matter the conditions. Just pull on the bar and the BANDIT 2021 will generate power, fantastic kiteloops sensations and super smooth landings with no stalling. Loops are fast and you will always find the line tension and pull you’re looking for. ![]() Offering explosive vertical lift the kite has plenty of float to chuck in some boards off or old school moves. The jumping potential of this year’s model is absolutely insane. The larger sizes of the Bandit feature all the excellent characteristics of the smaller sizes, but the design profiles and arcs have been tweaked to offer even more low-end wind range and lightness. ![]() The new bridle helps keep the profile arc of the kite stable even in extreme overpowered conditions. Key to this new concept is the updated spider 4 or 5 points bridle set up, which is different to the classic 4 point bridles on the Bandit S. The bigger sizes 11 to 14 m offer incredible control and freeride stability. The smaller sizes 7 to 10 m are configured for more overpowered winds and big air where you can play with those crazy kiteloops and tricks. The turning of the BANDIT is quick and precise and remains totally controllable when depowered. The kite consistently reacts to your demand, and you always know where it sits in the window. Very light to fly yet has a feedback incredibly direct. Its behaviour is direct and reactive as well as stable, smooth and homogenous. The BANDIT 2021 is extremely pleasing to fly whilst having a sporty feeling. We still think this is one of if not the best all round kite available! The colours has been simplified too with less choice but still very smart. It can still be used on a surfboard but the S excels in this department. In early testing we’ve found it to be a great kite with a bit more low end power than before and tonnes of lift for jumps. The 2021 has been given better overall stability without losing the performance that the 2020 model had, so it’s become accessible to all again. We found the 2020 Bandit to be a bit higher performance than we have seen in previous years and it was a bit of a handful for beginners. In 2020 the Bandit and Bandit S were split to allow the S to be more aimed towards surf and the Bandit to be freeride and big air. For a long time the Bandit has been the benchmark for all freeride kites and plenty of other big brands have looked to create a similar ‘one kite does all’ product, such as Duotone with their Evo. Over the years they’ve become much more streamlined, lighter, faster, more agile and far better all round kites. Initially released in 2008 after the Tribal and Tribal 2 kites (we had them too and they were great!), the early Bandits were power houses with not much refinement, long easily tangled bridles and lots of power. The F One Bandit has long been a favourite of ours and among our instructors.
