I'm looking to invest in a second bandit dos. I currently ride the 12m and can hold it from 13 to approx 28kt. I'm thinking about getting the 10m or the 9m.

The 10m will probably get a little more use but i'm worried about the overlap between the 10 and 12m kites. From someone with experience on the DOS which would be a better option?

I'm 110kg and ride a 132x41 666 '07 and a 141?x48 666ext

Go the 9, these kites are super grunty, a 10 will be a bit close, particuarly on really windy day's. See my pm

def go the 9. Thats a pretty wicked crossover in wind range for QLD.

I,m a pretty fat bastard at around 95kg on a good day and have the 12/9 quiver.

have had my 9 in a little over 30knts and totally fine... anything over that and its just getten silly

Dude, no question go the 9, i'm a bit lighter at 79 k's but i have 10, 8 & 5.5 in my quiver, the low end grunt is unmatched 'as' the norm with f-one so go small and enjoy the speed & stability !!!!!!!!!!! (i can go upwind in 22 knts with the 5.5).

This is starting to sound like a scratched record, but yep have to agree go the 9, if you lived in WA I would say go the 8.

I am looking for a second bandit dos. I currently ride an 8m and was wondering wheather a 10m or 12m. I weight 57kg and i now use my dads 08 12m BEST Nemesis but he wants it back . How is the wind rang between the two 12m?

At your weight the 12m would be super grunty, probably a 10m would be better, it is a shame as i am selling my12m
