Harlem Force Review | A High-Performance Kite for Active Riders

Jake from MACkite shares his experience with the Harlem Force kite, which he finds advanced for his current skill level. The Harlem Force is a European-made kite with an eco-friendly approach, aiming to source materials from Europe and reduce plastic usage.
Key features include pro weld construction, reduced stitching, and direct digital printing, allowing for colorful, customizable canopies. Jake describes the kite as unique and recommends trying it before buying due to its higher cost and specific performance characteristics.
Jake compares the Harlem Force to the Slingshot RPM, highlighting its aggressive and fast nature. The kite has five struts, though it might appear as three due to its design. It's very responsive and requires active flying, making it ideal for experienced kiteboarders who enjoy a direct and fast kite.
During his test in light and gusty conditions, Jake found the kite performed well when powered but required effort to maintain control. He emphasizes that it's not a "set it and forget it" kite; it demands precision and skill but rewards the rider with smooth and consistent power.
Overall, Jake is impressed with the Harlem Force, appreciating its innovation and performance. He advises potential buyers to test it first to ensure it matches their riding style, noting that it's a kite for those who enjoy a challenge and are willing to invest in a high-quality, eco-conscious product.

Hey Jake, very nice review ! As you said, the Force is a 5 struts dedicated to big air and loops (and double and triple). But you have to ask (command😅) Harlem to work harder and faster on their future 3 struts freeride kite. I will interest a lot more consumers! Keep going with your great work!

That kite is not made for 15 Knots or 12m². Go out on a 9m in 35 knots and your review will be upside down.

Medium/high bar pressure??? This kite has the lowest bar pressure available on the market. I testet most high p big air kites

[@PietroSironi]

Why test a 12 though? That's not the conditions where it shines
