Kite character

Bandit Brainchild V1 retains the proven all-round DNA of the Bandit while offering noticeably faster reactions and a lighter feel in the air. The kite remains intuitive, stable, and predictable across the entire wind range, from relaxed freeride sessions to dynamic Big Air riding.

Construction and materials

Advanced Brainchild technologies, including ultra-light materials and the PROWELD process, reduce weight and increase structural stiffness. The ultrasonically welded leading edge improves frame integrity and delivers a more direct, precise bar feedback. Digital EcoInk printing lowers environmental impact while enabling unique graphics.

On the water

In strong winds, when sheeted out, the kite naturally moves toward the edge of the wind window, significantly reducing traction and improving comfort when riding upwind. In lighter conditions, it sits perfectly in the window, delivering smooth, consistent power and excellent upwind efficiency.

Jumping and loops

Bandit Brainchild V1 climbs quickly to the zenith, producing strong vertical lift and floaty hangtime. Fast turning speed and precise handling make it highly effective for kite loops, offering reliable catch and a light, responsive bar feel throughout the wind range.
