Sneak Peek of the 2010 Fone Revolt 3
F-One REVOLT 3 is the 3rd Edition of the F-One kite for beginners and intermediate riders, with a focus on depower capability, stability and relaunch. The Revolt is also the kite all F-One schools have been using with tremendous success in 2009. This 3rd edition will be a mix between the 2009 Revolt and the 2010 Bandit, with a better range and stability in all wind conditions. Design is of course based on a Delta C-Shape. No one pump system on the Revolt 3. Wide availability will be early in March. Pricing to come soon, no pricing jump expected, or very little.
Improvements:
- Profile more rounded
- Bridles 3 points
- Same front line than the B3, shorter bridle
- More depower
- Optimized low/high end
- Profile more rigid that improves stability in all wind conditions
New bag: including a net, a pump holder, shoulder straps and magnetic opening
Sizes: 4.0 5.0 7.0 9.0 11 13mē

Introducing new F-ONE Delta Kite >>> REVOLT
The new F-ONE REVOLT is a Delta kite (of course!). We just received our first samples a couple weeks ago and our first general shipment is coming in this week (7/9/11/13m). I tried the 9m last week end during a storm in the Half Moon Bay harbor and its flying ability are very similar to the Bandidos. I didn't feel much difference, maybe a bit slower than the 9m Bandidos, and even that was not a clear cut.
Pricing is very attractive as it's about $250 less expensive than the equivalent Bandidos.
Difference in pricing is explained with the accessories that equip the Revolt but in a global recession like we are in, a lot of riders of all levels will give it a close look. Construction is rock solid.
- bag pack is very basic
- depower 2 straps instead of clam cleat
- no swivel between
- EVO bridle is composed of Dynema pulleys (plastic) instead of stainless
- No short bridle on the intermediate strut
- basic leader lines with no strap adjustement on the fly
- bar end is basic and the grip is not integrated
Pricing
