Description

The F-One Bandit Brainchild V2 brings a fresh evolution while staying true to its DNA that riders know and love. Benefitting from Brainchild’s latest technologies, this new Bandit is intuitive and predictable, delivering exceptional control and versatility in every session.

The Bandit Brainchild V2 kite features a new hybrid bridle system, offering greater control, precise handling and a more direct connection. Riders will appreciate its crisp bar feel and consistent steering pressure, as well as its predictability across the wide wind range, whether in the low or high end.

The aspect ratio has also been slightly increased — the highest ever on a Bandit — which optimizes airflow for smoother, more responsive turning and enhances depower efficiency. The depower system is also further refined with a focus on accessibility, allowing for a more precise positioning within the wind window.

Lighter fabrics from Brainchild ensure improved responsiveness without compromising the overall feel and performance that have made the Bandit a legend. The overall shape, flight characteristics, and versatility remain timeless, ready to meet the needs of every rider in every discipline and every condition.

Features

Technology

Brainchild:

Brainchild uses innovative, high-tech and extra light materials on both the inflatable structure and canopy of the kites. Strength and lightness are guaranteed for incredible flight performances.

Brainchild Inflation:

The broad, eco-friendly single-point inflation system guarantees optimal airflow and quick inflation.

ECOINK Digital Printing:

Brainchild Production has developed a unique process to print materials digitally, only using Eco Solvent Ink. Printing uses four times less water compared to dyed cloths. Moreover, only white fabrics are used for the canopy, which means there is no wastage of dyed material offcuts or the issue of any material colour shortage. This unique process makes resource planning much easier as well.

Proweld:

Proweld is a unique and revolutionary process technology that Ralf Grösel has patented and developed himself. With Proweld, segments are ultrasonically welded together seamlessly at one point and then glued on the back to increase the structural rigidity of the joint.

With all the segments of the leading edge welded rather than stitched, it creates a stiffer frame with better structural integrity, while also saving weight and reducing the stress on the bladder inside. This leads to a super precise bar feedback and astounding reactivity from the kite.

Auto Relaunch:

F-One’s auto relaunch is quick and easy and releases the kite from the water with the perfect amount of traction.

Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, its C-Shape associated with the Delta Pivot allows the kite to automatically roll over onto one wing tip.

The kite will then glide towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water relaunch.

Delta C-Shape:

Offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite.

Delta C-Shape is a patented design used by F-One on all kites for the past 15 years. This shape was the result of a design research towards maximum optimization of the aerodynamic performances of the kite and of its depower. It gives the possibility to fit more canopy area in the middle sections to create more projected area while the C Shape makes sure the kite remains responsive and fluid.

Control Bar

F-One Atom - SK99 Control Bar:

The F-One Atom SK99 Control Bar delivers everything you need for a direct and responsive connection to your kite. Designed with ease-of-use, comfort, safety and performance in mind, it combines a refined ergonomic design with cutting-edge features, allowing each rider to make the most of every session.

The patented Quick Adjust System makes it easier than ever to switch between bar lengths. With just one small movement and no tools required, riders can effortlessly adjust between 45 and 52 cm to suit their needs.

The new Click-In Safety System is ISO-certified, meeting the most rigorous safety standards in the industry. This quick release mechanism is designed to work effectively in the most critical situations and can be intuitively released under load. The system is ready for use again in a flash, thanks to efficient and easy locking of the loop in just one click.Safety and convenience are seamlessly integrated, ensuring peace of mind in every session.

The Atom also features an interchangeable chicken loop system, giving riders the ability to easily switch between different sizes based on their preferences or discipline. Both chicken loops — the standard-size being included with the bar — benefit from a stiffer security finger as well to help prevent accidental unhooking, adding an extra layer of reliability.

Every detail of the Atom bar has been thought out with comfort, usability and ergonomics in mind. Its new monobloc construction and diameter ensure a secure handling and direct feel, and one-handed maneuvers are now more comfortable than ever.

The EVA grip delivers excellent comfort and control during extended sessions. The clear color-coding of the bar is an added element of safety and visibility.

With modular and easy-to-replace parts, the ATOM is built with durability in mind. All components of the bar as well as the QR system can be removed and replaced with minimal tools, extending the lifespan of your gear. The removable floats also allow for easy inspection or adjustments of the leader lines. The bar is designed with a freshwater rinse feature as well to keep the entire control system in good shape.

The Atom bar is available with either the Dyneema standard or the high-performance SK99 lines. The standard lines are more accessible and forgiving, while the lighter, high-strength SK99 offer greater resistance to abrasion and elongation, as well as a more precise bar feedback.

Offering the option to switch between a low V, high V, and high V+, this new bar is as adaptable as it is dependable. Our new V-Splitter, unique to F-ONE, allows you to adjust or remove your lines quickly and easily without taking the entire setup apart, saving time and making on-the-fly changes effortless.

Delivered with a sleek new bar bag and the necessary tools, the ATOM is an ideal option for riders of all levels seeking a reliable, functional, adaptable, comfortable and high-performance control system.
