2026 F-One Bandit Brainchild

Sizes: 8m / 9m / 10m / 12m

Freeride / All-Around

The F-One Bandit Limited Edition takes the legendary Bandit DNA and dials it up with cutting-edge materials and construction from Ralf Grösel’s innovative Brainchild facility. The result? A kite that’s lighter, stiffer, and more responsive than anything in the Bandit line before it.

The reduced weight comes from advanced extra-light fabrics, digitally printed graphics, and PROWELD seam technology, which welds the leading edge segments for added stiffness without extra stitching. This translates into razor-sharp steering, precise bar feel, and improved in-flight stability across the wind range.

In strong winds, the Bandit Brainchild slips forward in the window when sheeted out, easing the load on your back and legs while giving you total control. In lighter winds, it sits perfectly for steady power and killer upwind angles. For jumping, it rockets to 12 with floaty hangtime, crisp loop performance, and quick recovery.

What F-One has to say:

Everywhere, anytime, in every condition.

The BANDIT Limited Edition by Brainchild delivers unprecedented sensations, with a lighter, more responsive kite and impressive bar feedback. With its revolutionary design and concepts, this kite embodies a perfect fusion of technological innovation and passion, opening the way to new performances on the water while keeping its legendary DNA.
