Windgenuity already linked some tests out of it, here is the whole thing: issuu.com/thekitemag/docs/tkm_ultimate_test_guide_complete_20

Was a nice read, had a little giggle on the bandit results. Have to try that kite, F-One stuff in general.

F-One took out a few of the categories as winner and also got the gold stamp in a few others and probably highest ranking brand overall..

Yeh why not, try one. We did. It's a good, solid all rounder kite (except for unhooking, average at best - they have obviously tuned it for more general riding now they have the WTF so understandable), nothing special. Loops are soft. Good jumper though (not outstanding). It is quite a stable wing in the sky actually. It's worth trying for sure, quality build.

But No better than any of those others mentioned that's for sure and a lot worse for the specific things those kites above do best. but hey the test results say ....

no ozone kites tested I heard ? Any other brands not looked at?

Agree with a lot of this too........ a good 'all rounder' but personally I'm a no compromise person and get kites specific to different disciplines (I.e. kite for boosting, kite for waveriding).

People read so much into reviews when in my understanding only brands which pay for advertising have their kit tested (this is certainly how it used to work) - and in that case the mags are hardly gonna give a bad review and loose revenue ??????
Pls correct me if this you is no longer the case

Riders F-One finished #3 and #4 in KOTA 2019 so I guess their kites / boards are not only all-round - Same for wave-ridding with Mitu

I used to ride Torch and Vegas, now I have the WTF!? and that's a pretty nice C-shape, at least for me To

Mitu could make any kite look good, well almost.............he's obviously got natural talent and had time to develop it.

Check out F-Ones movie Antandroy, it's an oldie but worth a watch. Amazing location and some pretty impressive kiting IMO.
