One kite that does everything..

The 5th generation of Bandit has arrived. This kite has been a benchmark to all round performance kites for five years, and it is not so perfectly tuned and tweaked that it can satisfy all areas of the kitesurfing market.
This year Fone had a rethink and have worked hard restructuring the kite. There is a reworked bridal system as well as a smaller leading edge which has increased turning speed, air speed and most importantly weight. Weight is the killer in all kite design, and Fone reduced the L.E by 25% to further reduce the weight of the front end. To add to this Fone added a flatter profile which has increased its overall efficiency

• Lighter
• More maneuverable
• Faster
• More enjoyment.
