the F-one Bandit is the result of intensive research into kite-aerodynamics and the wish to create a kite with full depower. The debate goes on whether a Bandit is a bow kite or a hybrid, but in my eyes Fone has definitly created a unique kite concept.

The F-One Tribal 2 kite is the revisited version of the same Tribal 2007 hybrid kite that was launched earlier that year. So whatever you dor: don’t buy the first version, try to buy the Tribal 2. The Tribal 2 2007 is a fine representative of a hybrid kite. This means maximum bow style safety with the characteristics of a c-shape kitesurfing kite. Depower is also created by the rounded tips.
F-One Tribal (hybrid to c-shape kite): because F-One no longer used the Dream for the more radical tricks due to the arrival of the F-One Impact, they decided it was time to replace the F-One Dream. Now that the full depower kites were here to stay, F-One designed the Tribal. The F-One Tribal is originally designed to be a very forgiving kite, just like the Dream, but with full depower. Of Course the Tribal was meant to be a real c-shaped kite, so they went with all the way with the classic c-shape and added rounded tips. F-One did test bowkites at some point but felt that they could easily combine the c-shape due to a new but simple invention called the Integral system. |
