Tech specs
Pro Welding
This unique technology allows us to use less material, therewith reducing 20% weight and adding 30% more torsional stiffness than other performance kites still using traditional techniques.
Digital Printing
Porchers Twin-Cross Flylite, 42g per m². The Harlem Force is the first to utilise the revolutionary eco-friendly digital printing technology.
Laminated Mila Struts
The laminated Mila Struts enhance the airframe's strength and lightweight abilities.
Curved Closing Seam
We curved the closing seam in the wingtips more towards the inside of the canopy. This gives extra stability and improved aerodynamics.
Booomtag
Lost. Scan. Found. The NFC tag to stay in touch with your precious gear via BOOOMTAG platform.
Sustainability
By leaving behind the old techniques, we reduce waste and maximize efficiency, ensuring that each kite embodies perfection.
- Increasing usage of recycled materials up to 90% until 2029
- Decreasing logistics and distances - 100% less air freight and 100% less intercontinental container freight for sourced materials.
- European Craftsmanship - Canopy from the artistic hands of France - 100% recycled webbing created in Germany - 100% recycled threads meticulously crafted in Austria.
- Bladder raw material is 25% bio-based. Just imagine, it's built from plants that are rich in carbohydrate such as corn or sugar cane. How cool is that?
- Solar-Powered Precision - Factory operates 100% on solar energy, infusing your kite with not just superior performance, but an eco-conscious ethos that rides the renewable wave.
- Digital Eco Printing - Our revolutionary Digital Eco Printing technique uses 4x less water than traditional methods.
