The evolution of the ORIGINAL

For those who push limits, here it is: the FLARE BANDIT.

Born from the pursuit of performance, the BANDIT is our purest expression of speed, efficiency, and control. With its high aspect ratio design, it slices through the sky with effortless glide and razor-sharp handling. The BANDIT is built to dominate the air. Every line, every curve is engineered for those who demand more: more range, more response, more freedom. Powered by our signature FLARE System, you command every moment: tune lift, pitch, and acceleration instantly, directly from your hands.

Where others ride the wind, you take control of it.

What makes BANDIT different?

FLARE System: Directly control angle of attack via brake handles

Reflex Profile: Delivers maximum stability in all wind conditions

Sharknose: Keeps internal pressure rock solid, even when the air gets wild

Miniribs: For an even faster glide – less drag, more flow

Nitinol Rigid Foil: For a solid wing and long lasting performance

Easy to launch: Forward or reverse, always easy to launch

Wide Speed Range: From relaxed soaring to full-speed runs

Light & Strong: Premium Dominico for durability with minimal weight

Stabilo Brake on the Wingtip: 2D steering for optimized turning

Ultra-Responsive Handling: Fly closer, carve harder, and flare sharper.

For the BANDIT we implemented the following features: Shark Nose, Mini Ribs and Stabilo Brake on the wingtips.

What can you do with it?

With the BANDIT you soar at the dune, fly to the water, and simply fly back to the dune.

Perfect for:

Soaring coastal cliffs & dunes
Foot-launch proximity flying
Dynamic terrain runs
Windy-day exploration
Intermediate to advanced pilots leveling up their skill, or special training on the BANDIT itself.

Built with DNA from skywalk Paragliders and FLYSURFER

Developed by the masterminds behind Europe’s leading flying brands. Engineered with premium materials for longevity, safety, and raw flying joy. Don’t let the playful look fool you – this wing cuts through the sky with precision.

Good to know before you go

The BANDIT is fully addictive, powerful, fast, and demands your full attention. Watch the FLARE Nation Academy series before you fly. It is important to choose a wing that matches your skill level in order to enjoy the sport to its fullest. The BANDIT is a high-performance wing and should therefore only be flown by experienced riders. Using equipment suited to your abilities not only increases safety, but also ensures that you get the most fun out of every session. With great power comes great responsibility.

Performance Data

Features

Based on our company's decades of experience, we have selected the perfect combination of premium materials.

But above all the following innovative features were invented that make your life as a pilot easier and better.

Reflex Profile

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.

Mini Ribs

Mini Ribs are small internal ribs near the BANDIT trailing edge that refine its shape. They improve airflow, reduce drag, and give the parakite a cleaner, more efficient trailing edge – enhance control and glide performance.

Shark Nose

The shark nose is a leading-edge design that improves the performance and stability of the BANDIT. It helps maintain the internal pressure more effectively across different angles of attack, leading to a wider speed range, better handling and stall resistance in varying wind conditions.

Stabilo brake on the wingtip

That feature adds a more effective 2D steering to the BANDIT toolbox. This enables more precise turns by controlling both the main and stabilo (wingtip) brakes. A turn can be initiated by pulling the control handle toward you to engage the stabilo brake. For flat turns, start in the best glide position. Move the outside hand away from your body and bring the inside hand closer toward you.

RFS – Riser Fix System

Our Riser Fix System is a rigid foil that is sewn at the lowers sails trailing edge and hides inside 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 Best Trim Labels starting your session will get much easier. Put the rigid foil back in the pockets when flying.

Best Trim Labels

The BANDIT has its best glide ratio when you pull your brake handles (not the brake handle loop) slightly below the height of the L/R flags on the riser. This is your best glide position.

Nitinol Rigid Foil

Engineered for uncompromising stability and efficiency. The BANDIT’s rigid foil maintains its perfect shape in every condition while delivering maximum glide, precision, and control across the entire speed range.

Killer Mushroom

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!

Automatic Drainage System

The Automatic Drainage System hides in the internal construction of our parakite. Dirt and small objects that got 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.

Reflex Profile

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.

FLARE System

THIS is adding the real 3rd Dimension to flying! It's the first wing in the history of flying uniting steering handles and accelerator and giving both into the brake handles, having full control over your hands.

It is as Pulley-system to “mix” 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 Braketravel.

The B-level moves with a ratio of 1/6 of the Braketravel.

That means you can fully adjust your glide ratio by completely changing the angle of attack of your wing. The combination was the key to success. Equipped with the superstable reflex profile construction with a 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.

Recommendation about take-off weight, tech-talk and further information.

There's a difference in recommended size for the same person for use of soaring or flying in the mountains. Take a bigger size for soaring, and a smaller size for speed flying.

To be safe, we recommend learning your new FLARE skills on one of the bigger sizes first. "If in doubt – take the bigger size out"

Windrange - flat dunes

The BANDIT compared to a normal paraglider has a way bigger glide ratio and wind range you can use, due to its ability to adjust your full angle of attack.
