DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Responsiveness and Shape Stability
The new CODE-TEC fabric makes the kite lighter and more responsive. On the water, this translates to a more precise steering feel and exceptional canopy stability. The kite holds its shape without deforming, giving you better control and making corrections easier during your session.
Comfort and Consistent Pull
The Bandit Tec delivers a steady, consistent pull that makes riding upwind feel effortless. This smooth power makes for more comfortable sessions, whether you're cruising or loading your edge to boost a huge jump.
Jumps, Power on Demand, and Easy Handling
The Bandit Tec makes take-offs easy and offers punchy power delivery for jumps and kite loops. Its behavior in the air is designed for softer landings and a more direct re-acceleration, helping you progress your freestyle game.
The Linx Bar: Control and Ergonomics
The Linx Bar allows for fine-tuned steering with its adjustable length (38/45 cm or 45/52 cm) and V-Split system. The ergonomic grip ensures a secure, comfortable hold, while the optional SK99 lines deliver an even more direct response.
Quick Setup and Durability
The one-pump system makes inflating and deflating the kite a breeze, getting you on the water faster. This complete package is a robust setup, designed and built to last.
All-Around Versatility
This pack covers a wide spectrum of riding styles: from freeride and boosting big air to strapless and wave riding. We recommend this setup for riders who want versatile gear that adapts to different spots and conditions.
