F-One Bandit Brainschild V1

From the very first tests of Brainchild-produced kites, we discovered a new potential for reactivity and in-flight performance, prompting us to consider a new version of our famous BANDIT. After studying and adapting our designs to this innovative technology, the BANDIT has evolved considerably, offering a whole new range of sensations.

The high end of the BANDIT Limited Edition by Brainchild benefits from a significant improvement in comfort and control. An innovative feature of this kite is, when sheeted out, its unique ability to move towards the edge of the window, significantly reducing the amount of traction felt.

The difference is clearly perceptible when riding upwind in strong winds, with a noticeable reduction in the traction exerted on the back and legs. In the low end, the kite is optimally positioned in the window, offering stable, constant traction and a better upwind angle.

This configuration also works wonders when sending the kite back to 12 for a jump. This BANDIT’s ability to climb high and to offer a floaty hangtime, combined with its exceptional handling and turning quality, make it an ideal kite for kite loops. Finally, the bar feel is lighter and more precise throughout the entire wind range.

Brainchild Productions is a new kite manufacturing facility in Northern Macedonia in Southeastern Europe, headed by Ralf Grösel. It is distinguished by its adoption of innovative assembly technologies and an unprecedented commitment to sustainability, offering an environmental record unmatched in the kiteboarding world.

Brainchild uses new, state-of-the-art, extra-light materials as well as innovative techniques like PROWELD, where all the segments of the leading edge are welded together rather than stitched, which leads to an overall increased stiffness of the kite and even further weight reduction. Moreover, the kites are now digitally printed instead of using typical screen-printing processes. The freedom offered by this printing process allows us to explore new and unique graphics and colors.

Even lighter, more responsive and more powerful, the BANDIT Limited Edition by Brainchild makes every session more dynamic and enjoyable, everywhere, any time, in every condition.
