Trust

Derived from the 2015 Bandit, so it inherits that kite's outline and construction but is tuned to be more forgiving: strong speed control for carving through chop, and relaunch that needs no special procedure.

Second year of the Trust, and the one that filled in the range: 6 and 8 m sizes join the line-up. A deeper profile near the leading edge smooths out power spikes, extra Dacron patches spread load through the canopy, and diagonal webbings at the wingtips stop the lines catching. It ships with the 2014 Bandit bar and its new push-away quick release.

The first Trust, introduced as the Bandit's little brother and built entirely around freeride. It trades the Bandit's edge for speed control and stability, so it stays predictable through chop and relaunches on its own from the back, which makes it easy to trust at any level.
