On top of that the Bandit 3 only requires one pump and includes a new stainless steel UPS HP integrating the life line clipping on the bar when riding unhooked. The Bandit 3 retains all the qualities and innovations of the Delta C Shape such as the auto relaunch the EVO bridle system and the lifeline (acting as a fifth line on a four lined kite).

MX - MODERATE ASPECT, 5-LINE
A continued evolution of the Matrix. MX kites are more explosive than 2006 Matrix. A lighter weight makes MX slightly faster and quicker to deliver power. The weight reduction isn't a huge amount in raw weight, but the weight reductions increase performance due to cleaner profiles and more efficient drafting. No PU chamber inducers and no additional PU leading edge scuff pads are necessary with the updated 2007 construction. There are additional scuff pads on wing tip. Vast power range similar to Bow design, but better bar sensitivity ie- When bar moves further away, bar gets softer.

Our new “floating” center strut further enhances the direct de-power by allowing the canopy to easily luff as well as providing rock-solid stability in strong winds.
The new back-line “V” attachment distributes the load of the back-lines on the kite for a solid bar feel and, together with the new bungee system, eliminates any line snags during re-launch. The Rebel’s unique steering sensitivity and smoothness have also been improved by implementing a straight segment in theleading edge for an ultra clean, flutter-free canopy near the tips that keeps you connected and in-tune to the kite’s every movement.
