2025
The 2025 F-One Bandit TEC is a versatile kite that feels stiffer and more stable than earlier versions because of its CODE-TEC construction. It delivers strong upwind ability, a wide usable wind range and accessible lift for freeride, foiling and waves, although it feels less aggressive and less explosive than a dedicated big-air or kiteloop kite.[1][4]
Strengths

- Excellent upwind performance
- Powerful, accessible boost
- Versatile across freeride, foil and waves
Weaknesses

- Less explosive than a specialist big-air kite
Who for
For riders wanting one forgiving, all-round kite for freeride, foiling, jumps and waves, from beginner-intermediate to advanced level.
