F-One Bandit XVI + Trax Kitesurf Set

F-one Bandit XVI + Trax Kitesurf Set

All-round kitesurf set from F-one for endless fun

Tastes may differ, but the F-one Bandit XVI + Trax kite set is perhaps best looking kitesurf set ever made. Appearance is important, but the inside is what counts and that is also present in this F-one Bandit set. The Bandit XVI has a super nice all-round kitesurfing character with which you can easily learn to kite due to the fast relaunch, good depower and the fast upwind capablities. With the Bandit you can make your first jumps, do raileys and catch waves; ideal if you want to discover all aspects of kitesurfing. The Trax is a basic kitesurfboard from F-one, straight rocker with a nice flex. The kiteboard is complete with fins and grab handle. A leash is also included with the Linx bar, belonging to the F-one Bandit. As a result, you can easily get up to speed and you can ride upwind without difficulty. As a beginner, it can be nice to take this one size larger. Sizes for the Platinium binding are as follows: up to size 37 EU S, 37 – 43 M and 43 + L.

F-one Bandit 2023 XVI Kite

Super fine all-round kite from F-one: the legendary Bandit 2023

The F-one Bandit 2023 is perhaps one of the most legendary kites on the market. The Bandit 2023 is already the 16th version that F-one releases of the Bandit. The Bandit has changed over the years, but you can still immediately recognize the Bandit 2023 by the legendary, and ever very first, Delta C-Shape. The 16th version has received some aerodynamic updates and in some sizes a new material that makes the Bandit 2023 fly better again.

For the 16th edition of the F-one Bandit, the F-one development team has focused on making the F-one Bandit 2023 as smooth and aerodynamic as possible. The advantage of a super smooth, gradual profile of the Bandit is that the kite becomes more stable and steers better. Towards the LE this can be seen in the staggered panel seams of the canopy and the integrated strut bumpers. All this ensures a super smooth profile where the wind first comes into contact with the F-one Bandit 2023. The updates can be seen even more clearly in the trailing edge. Here too you see the staggered panel seams and in the small sizes (9m and smaller) a new 66g polyester double ripstop. These adjustments ensure a more stable trailing edge and therefore a more stable and smoother steering of the kite.

To make steering the F-one Bandit 2023 even smoother, the Bandit XVI has new CNC-ed pulleys made of anodized aluminum. This glides super smooth over the bridle line and ensures that the Bandit always has the perfect angle to the wind. Just like last year, we see the original 5-point bridle connection in combination with two pulleys in the F-one Bandit 2023. These pulleys also provide the extremely good depower properties of the F-one Bandit.

In addition to being one of the most legendary kites on the market, the F-one Bandit 2023 is also one of the most versatile kites. Suitable for beginners to pros and for water starts to big air. As a beginner, the large depower range, fast relaunch and upwind performance characteristics of the F-one Bandit 2023 are super nice. The more advanced kitesurfer will love the Bandit 2023 because of the aweseome horizontal pull for big air, the possibility of kiteloops and the hidden freestyle character, so you can also do unhooked tricks with the F-one Bandit 2023.

F-one Trax 2022 Kiteboard

Nice all-round entry-level kiteboard from F-one

The F-one Trax is one of the best-selling kiteboards ever. This F-one Trax 2022 is the entry-level model of the F-one Trax (compared to Trax HRD Lite Tech) and therefore ideal for the starting kitesurfer. The Trax 2022 was designed by F-one with only one goal: to easialy have a lot of fun on the water. As a beginner kite surfer you will immediately enjoy the ease of going upwind and planing of the F-one Trax 2022 and therefore make extra fast progress.

The rocker line of the F-one Trax 2022 can be described as average. This makes it easy to ride away and go upwind with the Trax 2022. The rocker is divided into three parts: flat in the middle for good upwind properties, and more rocker in the tips for pop and a playful feel.
In the bottom of the F-one Trax 2022 is a double concave and a number of tip channels. This gives the F-one Trax 2022 kiteboard a good grip and comfortable landings. The flex of the Trax 2022 can be described as soft to average. The soft flex ensures that the Trax 2022 will ride super comfortably through choppy water, for example. The soft flex is also very nice if you quickly suffer from your knees.

The F-one Trax 2022 twintip is available in the glacier color for sizes 132 and 133. The papaya color is available in 136 and 137. The F-one Trax 2022 is the successor to the Trax ESL.
