The BANDIT is incredibly stable in the air no matter what the wind is doing. Its fantastic control allows you to jump high with great hang time. The kite translates gusts into forward thrust. The kite loop is faster this year with a tighter turning radius, allowing you to dial in the intensity you want. You get full support from your kite, so landings are softer as you get that extra lift before landing. Impressive instant steering response offers precision flying with the best balance of ease of input and feedback impulses from the kite. This results in a very linear feel with zero stalling. The BANDIT XV offers improved hang time, pure jump height and vertical lift. Requires less skill and effort to load the kite before detaching. Going upwind is easy and comfortable, it will recharge you upwind after trying new tricks and big jumps! Thanks to its legendary Delta C-Shape, the only kite design still patented, the kite offers an incomparable bar feel, the best relaunch ability and outstanding stability. The leading edge has been redesigned with an extra segment and a new diameter for optimum handling and stability. The bracing and construction in general have been improved to achieve even more control. Most Wanted for 15 years and still active, the BANDIT never ceases to amaze.
