Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

I start this post hoping to get a good idea on how the bandit performs and now I am more confuse than before....

I hope I will have a chance to try the bandit in its high end and make my own opinion.

Thanks anyway

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

with my dice when i was a little lighter there was absolutely no problem, so stronger was the wind higher i was jumping but now at its high end it deforms a little by closing its tips and it won't jump as high as in its mid range.

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

So no deformation whatsoever at its highest end.

Can I assume that with the bandit stronger is the wind higher will be the jump?

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

The trailing edge have been changed from dacron to 2 layers of canopy material....

Some brands use battens e.g. north, ozone... even f-one but not on the upper part of the canopy.

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

From the video it seems that you are not using the 2016 bandits.

Can you be more specific because is seems that for the 2016 the flapping have been reduced... but it may just be marketing bla bla

Nice videos BTW :)

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

Out of curiosity, can the front bridles get hooked at the end of the wingtips? Or is it short enough to avoid this issue?

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

I can go out with my dice 10m 2014 in 16 knots... only back and forward and during the gusts some little jumps. It is known that the dice first series has a bad low end but I have a trick... I use a large board fly radical L until 20knots and I switch to a smaller board from 20knots. I am sure that ...

Re: Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

Thanks guys for your answers but I need a specific answer on the bandit. The reason is simple, I would never buy a kite that I didn't try and liked the feedback. Unfortunately the only 5 struts that I like (until now) is the rally. I like the feedback very much but it is too slow and I like fast kit...

Is Bandit 2016 ok for heavy riders?

Hi, I tried the 12m bandit 2016 and I liked it, unfortunately the conditions were not great so I cannot really judge the performance of the kite "under stress". I would like to purchase the 10m for winds between 18 and 28knots. My weight is approx 100kg and I would like to understand how this kite p...
