Description

To make a good beginning into the world of kitesurfing and improve everytime you go out, you need a simple and easy to use kite with easy relaunching. This is what the F-One Revolt is! An innovative kite with 4-line simplicity with no compromise safety and control.

 

The F-One Revolt will get you going from your first few metres with it's constant power delivery and yet keep you in total safety with it's instant power cancellation by simply letting go of the bar! The F-One Revolt is easily neutralised as it lands on it's back and waits, powerless.

 

The F-One Revolt's wind range is huge and a very stable kite providing maximum comfort even in irregular gusty conditions. Thanks to the bridle and the Delta C-Shape concept, the kite is manoeuvrable even even depowered.

 

Bar pressure is accurate and you can feel the kite's position in the sky at all times and is tolerant to absorb piloting mistakes.

 

Featuring the Life Line and the Auto re-launch, it brings superb comfort and safety to the rider.

Profile is stable. Thanks to the bridle and the Delta C-Shape concept, the kite is manoeuvrable even depowered.

 

F-One Revolt Wave Riding:

The F-One Revolt is also an excellent wave-riding kite for riders of all levels. For wave riding, the F-One Revolt unleashes its increased performance from it's stable Delta shape.

 

The F-One Revolt gives you the ability to wave-ride with the added benefits of power to get you in and out of the line-up. Throw yourself into a wave with the F-One Revolt and switch the power off to actually surf without having the kite over-powering your turns. This gives the experienced rider the ability to concentrate 100% on the wave-riding.

 

For intermediate riders interested in learning to ride unhooked the F-One Revolt is also the kite to own, making riding un-hooked easy and stress-free to let you master your moves. The F-One Revolt is the unhooked kite that will allow the rider to learn those moves with ease and instant safety.

 

Delta C-Shape Techology:
Delta C-Shape technology is a new F-One patented design offering unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with a proven C-shape design that maintains the highest standards in performance.

The Delta C-Shape features front line attachment points positioned higher up the leading edge, offering un-matched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with a proven C-shape design that maintains the highest standards in performance.

 

EVO De-power & Life Line Combo:
The EVO De-power concept is a simple 4 line system with a 4m long Life Line featuring a V shaped bridle with a pulley system on each of the front lines. This simple system offers complete safety and allows for increased de-power by finely tuning the angle of attack of the kite.

 

When the quick release is activated the EVO system becomes the Life Line and the kite lands safely on its back with immediate and total power kill.

 

EVO De-power offers complete control with direct and responsive steering in all riding conditions. Sheeting the bar in and out is very progressive even with the kite fully de-powered. Unhooked the kite remains light and very predictable, inspiring confidence so you can progress faster.

 

Auto Re-launch:
Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, the well balanced Delta C-Shape allows the kite to automatically turn over onto one wing tip. The kite will then "glide" towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water re-launch. No complicated manoeuvre.

 

The F-One Revolt provides you with all the advantages of an easy and secure efficient kite.

 

Force Frame:
Kites with extended de-power ranges sustain more pressure across the canopy as they experience an increased frequency of use over a wider wind range.

 

Consequently F-One has developed a completely new structure for the F-One Revolt, offering optimized durability with no additional weight gain.

 

The Force Frame is a solid Dacron structure consisting of the leading edge, the trailing edge and the struts. This high strength skeleton structure is then covered with lightweight Spy material in the least vulnerable areas.

 

Fusion Struts:
The struts are integrated into the leading edge of the kite. This increases the rigidity of the Force Frame and reduces drag by creating a clean and well balanced structure.

 

F-One Revolt - FAQ's:

Design:
The Delta C shape is not a SLE or Bow or Hybrid - it's a C-shape because F-One trust it's the best shape for a kite.

 

It’s not a SLE because F-One have only two connectors for each side like F-One used to have with the F-One Tribal: front line connectors and fifth lines connectors. They are just connected on the same V bridle with a pulley on it.

 

It’s not a bow because the bow design is just made to gain tension on the leading edge of a flat SLE kite, so the F-One Revolt doesn't need it. The F-One has some concave trailing edge but not much and it’s because the tips move back a lot.

 

The F-One Revolt is not a flat kite either because the front line connectors are way higher than they were on any kite designs before and this is the secret of the Delta! If you take away the front connectors on the tip of any kite and place them like on the Delta the tips will go up....and everywhere.

 

High End Wind Range:
When using a Revolt during testing, F-One used smaller kites then anything else even bow's and SLE's!

 

F-One used the Revolt in more wind than a same size SLE / BOW kite.

Lets say you should be out with your 11 m² SLEl, you should use a Revolt 9m² and you will hold it better than a SLE 9m².

BUT when you get to un-hooked you don't take advantage of the full de-power so you consider your style of riding.

 

Control Bars:
All bars will fit all sizes kites - only the smaller sized 7m and 9m's are 45 cm and the 11m-13m's are 55 cm. All flying lines are 24 m.

 

You can use 22 m - 20 m or 18 m if you like to have the SLE feeling if you're use to it.

 

Why the Delta C-Shape is the only choice:

• Get a fifth line effect with only 4 lines
• Its powerful and get the best depower around
• Get the auto relaunch effect. the Revolt has a big projected area for a c-shape because most of the m² are in the centre of the kite. The tips are quite small and therefore allows easier relaunch
• The Delta C-Shape is so efficient that F-One has taken away some AR compared to a SLE
• Get a lot of hang time
• Its incredible for unhooked riding with a better bar feeling than previous F-One kites
• Get a new Force Frame construction
• Get a swivel on front lines so you never have twists
• Accept any lines length
• Can be use by any rider from school to pro level
• Has only 54cm of de power rope.
• Can also used with a short Tribal depower rope. You only lose a little bit of auto relaunch if you shorten the depower rope
• Lose and gain power really smoothly.
• Keep the control of the kite even fully de powered because the back lines always keep some tension.
• Get a perfect stop and go.
• Get an incredible stability on the wind window above you.
• Get a smooth handling because naturally the Delta shape likes to go straight and you have to make it turn.
• Works well and feels good even in the 13 or 15 m² sizes.
• Doesnt feel like a mosquito in sizes 7 m² or smaller.
• You dont need much time to get used to it. You don't have to change your way of riding.
