Kite character

Bandit TEC represents the next evolution of F-ONE’s legendary Bandit, combining proven versatility with a noticeably more precise and reactive feel. It is designed to adapt seamlessly to all disciplines, from freeride and Big Air to wave, foil, and strapless riding, making it a true do-it-all kite for riders of all levels.

Construction and materials

At the heart of the Bandit TEC is the new CODE-TEC fabric used on the leading edge and struts. This material offers an exceptional balance of low weight, reduced elongation, and high tear resistance. The increased structural stiffness minimizes deformation under load, allowing the kite to keep its shape in all conditions and deliver a sharper, more connected feeling through the bar.

On the water

In strong wind, the Bandit TEC naturally sits at the edge of the wind window, generating constant forward traction with minimal side pull. This results in excellent upwind performance without excessive edging, reducing fatigue and freeing up board speed. In lighter wind, power is distributed evenly through the harness and back, keeping arm load low and maintaining a light, comfortable bar feel.

Jumping and maneuverability

The Bandit TEC offers powerful, vertical lift with clean and predictable takeoffs. Its stability through the harness, combined with fast turning and high responsiveness, makes jumps intuitive and controlled. Kite loops are smooth and balanced, with well-managed traction that allows confident landings across a wide range of wind strengths.
