Hey guys got my 10m Demo and have had a few sessions over the last month to get a feel for it. I'm 100 kegs, kiting since the start, love all styles. Ridden most bandits and other kites, F-One Dealer.

Kite still feels like a bandit which will keep bandit fans happy. If you haven't flown one yet best to get on it and see for yourself.

Pumping up- finally a large inflate but rather than go with the standard they have stepped it up a level. Reactor valve is basically an ISUP valve adapted to kiting. Benefit are pump hose locks in and seals, no popping off or pre-twisting hose issues. Deflate is quick too, press buttton - easy as.

Colours- Different to standard and generally bright so you will standout on the water. Black fans may not be happy, lol

Construction- Solid and some nice attention to detail on all the little things this year

Flying- Fast dynamic flying with responsive steering. Generally can race around while going upwind definitely nice forward pull. Have had out in 30kts and still nice and comfortable and had some of the biggest boosts i can remember in a looong time. Plenty of float and can loop any which way you like.
What you don't notice is the gusts, it's super smooth and an improvement over previous editions.
Power is still there though i have often been on a smaller kite while being the heaviest rider. Even in 15 can still go fine is needed.
Canopy is very stable, very little signs of flutter.

Surf- Had out in cross on both a little underpowered and well powered and it behaved well. Kite is fast as this year and i have been using a small bar. Can put it whever you like fly it backwards, loop and still be it the right spot. I think some wave crew would be stoked on it for sure.

Bar- Simple, nice sticky grip and narrow profile. Being a solid machined piece helps keep it strong, responsive and also very light compared to some.
New swivel works very well, front leaders are beefed up and easily changed for high/ low v. Bar length can be changed quite easily.
Above the bar depower i like and works well with no an overly long throw. Chickenloop could maybe a bit bigger for freestylers but i'm sure that will be a spare part if needed. Single line flag now too.

Relaunch - super easy

Unhooking- Notice more pop for sure, and easy on arms. Prob not same slack as the new wtf c but very good . I'm heavy handed so may be best to slow down a bit on bar or kite. Otherwise pass completion has been high for a small kite so pretty stoked. Tuning is good, no signs of stall but i do back off my lines a couple knots so little tuning for perfect unhooked trim and nice close sweet spot.

Anyway enough talking, best to get out on the water and try one if you can.
One of top allround kites for sure, any tech questions hit us up.
My kites available for demo.
