PERFORMANCES
A better performer, the 2016 BANDIT is easier to send to the top of the window for the jumps and offers more hang time. The kite flies faster through the window during the loops, showing no decrease in speed before rushing back to the zenith. We have then modified the way the kite swings around its bridle and depowers, as well as the quality of the depowe-red profile. It is now more stable in static position on the beach but also in motion during flight.
We have changed the fabric used on the trailing edge, which used to be 170 g Dacron, for two layers of 52 g canopy fabric. This makes the kite lighter while avoiding flapping.
This is especially efficient for upwind riding where the BANDIT will let you ride with a better angle effortlessly with good speed control.
This new improved flight stability opens the way for some really stable steering, free of all parasitic movements. The bar feeling is more than ever direct, accurate and clean. In the low range the BANDIT is responsive and light.
In the high range the kite proves reassuring and absorbs the gust. For unhooked riding, its stability and ability to fly close to the edge of the window enable a better pop with a progressive traction through the handle-pass moves.
