Sharknose to keep that internal pressure solid when things get spicy!
You should always actively pilot in rough air. No matter how stable a wing we've built for you.
Mini ribs keep a cleaner profile, meaning less drag and more airflow. Better and faster glide - you're welcome!
2D steering allows you to control the ratio of the wing the brake is applied to from the tip.
Precise and finite control. Less pitch when you want it. Optimised turning.

More efficiency so you climb and glide earlier and faster
The reflex profile keeps the wing stable at a low angle of attack and at full acceleration. The counter-arching pushes the trailing edge down and prevents a front stall. The reflex profile is essential for controlling and depowering your parakite.
The Automatic Drainage System hides in the internal construction of our parakite. Sand and small objects that get inside the wing slide automatically from the middle section to the wingtips. They exit the wing through two big holes at the trailing edge of the wingtips. This signifcantly prolongs the life of your glider
THIS is adds the real 3rd Dimension to flying!
It's the first wing in the history of flying uniting steering handles and accelerator.
The pulley-system “mixes” the B and C level with a certain ratio to the brake travel.
The C-level moves with a ratio of 1/3 of the Brake travel.
The B-level moves with a ratio of 1/6 of the Brake travel.
That means you can fully adjust your glide ratio by completely changing the angle of attack of your wing. This combination was the key to success.
Equipped with the super stable reflex profile construction with positive momentum means that the wing always wants to fly away from you and keeps line tension, even in fully accelerated flight.
Your brake handle is connected with an elastic Free Brake Line, to be quickly able to grab it when standing on the ground.
Don't release the brake handle while flying and stay in the loops.
The Killer Mushroom is the perfect tool to kill your BANDIT, it is connected on the B level and will stop your wing completely from generating any lift. The best emergency help when you are standing on the ground and the wind gets too strong and you want to bring your wing to the ground.
Don't use while flying – please DON'T!
The Riser Fix System is a rigid rod that is sewn into the trailing edge and slots into side pockets. You can slide it through your riser loops to keep them perfectly organized when packing or unpacking your wing. It also prevents line tangling when packing or unpacking your wing. Together with the left and right labels starting your session will get much easier. Put the rigid rods back in the pockets before flting.
The Bandit is a parakite designed for experienced pilots. While accessible in the right conditions to others, we want you to FLARE safe.
Contact us to discuss the best size for you - we'll ask about many factors to help you make an informed choice.

The BANDIT has exceeds in glide over the M2 and has more range. The dive is similar but faster on the Bandit. The Bandit has lighter brake pressure, and has slightly less roll than the M2, but when you let your hands up when banked, you better be ready! The M2 is the benchmark for parakites, while the BANDIT is a performance machine for experienced pilots looking to bend the boundaries even further. Pilots should be comfortable with effective active piloting in rougher conditions.
The BANDIT has more glide, has more range, is less 'snakey', has a well defined stall point, and has a lower minimum speed - making forward launches and landings much easier. There is also no noticeable yaw on the BANDIT.
The mean aspect ratio for the FLARE BANDIT is 7:1. With the specific ratios per size as follows:
10m - 6.5, 13m - 6.8, 16m - 7, 19m - 7, 22.5 - 7.1
The info above is a mix from us and other pilots. As we spend more time under the BANDT and fly it back-to-back and side-by-side with the Moustache 2 and other wings, we will expand and refine the information. Contact us for the most up to date info.
