Bandit XV

15 years after the birth of the first BANDIT, the F-ONE design team has once again put an astounding amount of work to create the best kiting experience for all riders. Jump higher, perform your favorite tricks at ease, improve your ride. The connection between the rider and the kite has never felt so natural.

•  Impressive stability no matter the conditions
•  Absolute control at all time
• Amazing responsiveness for epic sensations
• Precision flying with an excellent range and efficiency
•  Improved boost, hang-time and kite-loops
• Effortless upwind abilities

The BANDIT is incredibly stable in the air, no matter what the wind is doing. Its fantastic control allows you to perform to a high level in all areas. The kite translates gusts into forward pull. Improve your big air moves with the new BANDIT. The kite loop is quicker this year with a tighter turning radius, allowing you to dial in as much or as little intensity as you might want. You get a total support from your kite, therefore the landings are softer as you get that extra lift before you land. The 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 zero stalling. Experience the fabulous BANDIT feeling of the steering and the sheeting working so beautifully together. The BANDIT XV offers improved hang time, pure jump height and vertical boost. It requires fewer skills and efforts to load the kite before sending it. Going upwind is easy and comfortable, it will charge you back upwind after trying new tricks and big jumps! Thanks to its legendary Delta C-Shape, the only still patented kite design, the kite offers incomparable bar feeling, the best relaunching ability and exceptional stability. The leading edge has been redesigned with one more segment and a new diameter for optimum maneuverability and stability. The new double vertical panel around the trailing edge, the double canopy trailing edge and the lighter Dacron between S1 and S2 offer the sleekest profile for the most stable flight. Reinforcement and the construction overall has been improved to gain even more control. Most Wanted for 15 years and still running, the BANDIT never fails to impress.

Trax Details

The overall rocker line is moderate to ensure the board offers early planing and keeps the fantastic glide, which is the true signature of the TRAX. The rocker line is split into three distinct stages with a flatter section in the centre, which is crucial to achieving an excellent upwind angle and great tracking on the water. The transition between the middle section and the tips was inspired by the WTF?! rocker to offer incredible pop. The bottom shape features a deep double concave and some tip channels. Both are quite efficient at providing first-class grip and control to the board, but the double concave is the main driver behind the overall comfort of the board and its stability at all times. The rails are inspired by our HRD technology, with taller sections around the feet for better lift and balance, they were kept thin everywhere else to offer plenty of grip. The deck shape is stripped down for more simplicity and better contact between the bindings and the board. The 3D work in the middle section, another heritage of the TRAX, helps the centre of the board track in a straight line with a solid feel for more accuracy and control when riding. On the water, the board impresses by how smooth it is to ride. Everything feels natural and totally intuitive. A perfect blend of glide, solid pop and smooth landings characterise this well-balanced shape. The TRAX is available in two sizes, which should fit a wide range of users. The proportions of the shape are inspired by the latest freestyle developments while the dimensions are kept more manageable. The TRAX takes all the shape features of the standard TRAX and implements them in a format dedicated and tailored for the smaller sizes. Smaller and thinner, this version of the TRAX comes in 132x37cm and 133x38cm. Produced from a specific mould, this particular TRAX is lighter and more flexible. All versions come equipped with our UNIBox 50m fins, which offer better speed and improved glide thanks to their thinner profile.

Trax Technology

V Double Concave: The V double concave bottom shapes combine a general V with two concave channels on each side of the center line.   The V provides maneuverability while the concaves channel the water along the board. The result is a lively board providing a comfortable ride with easy landings.     Wood Core: The wood forms the heart of your board and gives it most of its mechanical properties: strength, flex, and resilience (ability to return to its original shape). In optimizing the wood thickness distribution, F-One always seeks the best compromise between strength, stiffness, and weight to ensure you get the best of your board and maximum comfort. Lifted Tip Channels: These channels help provide superior grip towards the tip of the board and are designed to be super efficient during the pop. To form the channels, the tip of the board is raised in its central part, therefore creating added lift locally to the rocker of the board for better pop and easier landings. 3D Deck Structure: Board flex is tuned through both materials and shape.   The shape of the deck is especially engineered to make the board ultra-responsive between your legs for maximum drive and precision with the flex increasing progressively towards the tips for maximum pop and comfort.       Unibox Fins:  The patented UNIBOX system and RESPONSE fins have a radical effect: the asymmetrical profile improves the general ride and early planing.   However, it is the flex of the RESPONSE fins that gives amazing rail-grip as well as pop and forgiveness on heavy freestyle landings.      

Platinum 3 Bindings

F-One have developed a pad which is able to fit all types of feet whilst ensuring the best connection with your board. The pad offers the most amazing feel while riding, and absorb the impacts. The straps lock your feet to the pad in the ideal position. To obtain the highest quality pads, they have chosen an injected process that permits various forms and densities. F-One created a dual-density pad for an optimized comfort: the edge areas are denser for a better support while the foot bed areas are softer for more comfort. They are using a unique process that allows generating all possible forms while picking the best EVA foam density. Because a pad is those two essential things: a form and a foam. The F-ONE strap is fully adjustable to the size and shape of the foot. This year they’ve improved the quality of the strap, which are now filled with gel foam for a fantastic comfort. Its neoprene coating is combined with a base in injected plastic. Technical Specifications There are three tuning axes to set the PLATINIUM3 BINDINGS on the board for an optimum riding position:

• Angle: from 0° to 24°, you can select the foot angle that fits you the best.
• Foot Position: you can slide the PLATINIUM3 BINDINGS forth or back on the board to place your feet at the right distance from the edge of the board.
