Also give a Recommendation for each level example: Best kite for people doing their first big boosts and loops, best kite for Progression Loops and adding rotations etc...
Thanks for your review; very informative! Love seeing companies pushing new innovation and developing new materials, etc. I believe Harlem's seam welding construction process is a first in the kite industry; interesting. Companies have been going lighter and stiffer, and adding frame flexibility where needed. Would love to see weight differences between this kite and the different brand pro models. Would also love to see a comparison on the durability of these kites, after 1 to 3 years. Aluula seems to be leading the industry for the lightest frame material, but I'm hearing durability issues from some people.
Im sorry to say but you are totally wrong. I own two Harlem Force and was a bit upset about what everyone tries to hype. There is glue and the Intersegments are stitched 4 times with the reinforcement. So there is the same amount of holes in the Fabric as on "normal" Kites.
Hey Matthias-ze1 It's good that you took a closer look at the product and hope you had already some epic sessions on your Harlem Force! The panels are welded together face to face. Reinforced with a glued tape on the inside. This allows the forces from each panel to run straight from one panel to the other panel. Compared to a loaded stitched connection, this technique enables a stiffer structure, less material and this outstanding performance in the Harlem Force that everyone likes so much. So there are no loaded stitches to connect each panel compared to standard constructions on the market. The stitches that you see are only needed to fix the outside protection webbing to the LE, and these take zero loads of the construction and guarantee that the LE is protected for many sessions ahead. Please reach out to us if you need any more information on our products, cheers Alex
Really nice review - but you need help with lighting and editing. That strobe light and editing can be a lot better just with few tips and tweaks. P.S.: By your review have to try this kite. Saw Casati brothers yesterday at Salinas and it was crazy what they did with Harlem kites ;-)
Could you let me know how the Falcon board performance is in low wind? Currently I'm looking in to the Falcon 141 (weigh around 92KG/187) and would like to kite from 16 knots (Pivot 12 and 9) Will this board get me going upwind or is this more performance and overpowered orientated?
The full process is at the moment a trade secret. I asked the Harlem guys and there basically is no glue. In the future the manufacturing process of welding will come to light but at the moment it's kept secret ;)
@@spacexkitesurfing3634 when you open the Zipper of the Leading edge, you can see that there is an Glue and that the Intersegments are stitched four times. Im wondering that no one proves the facts of what they are telling us :D
@@jeroenblonk aha, that would explain it. Thanks. Weird that they didn’t include the Force in the blank kite test instead of the Strike. It should have been available at that time, especially in blank form ;)
Evo Dlab vs XR Pro vs Orbit Pro vs Harlem Force vs Ocean Rodeo Rise? That's the Review the whole kiting community wants to see!!
Also give a Recommendation for each level example: Best kite for people doing their first big boosts and loops, best kite for Progression Loops and adding rotations etc...
Would love to see a comparison, hang time, boost height, bar pressure! The quality of the content of your recent videos has been great, keep it up!
Thanks! We are working on a comprehensive review on all big air kites. This will take some time but we want to do it right
I want to see the full comparison!
We are working on it!

Me too, would be very interesting to see a comparison! Good job guys!
yewh! bring on the comparison!
Looking forward the the Cape Town Comparison! Hope to see you there 🤘
Wish you the best with your new brand. Look like very promising. Keep working hard amd you will succeed 👍👍🤙🤙
🔥🔥🔥🤙🏼Ocean Rodeo FLITE review
Epic content guys!
Really liking your videos! Would like to see you guys ride the Ocean Rodeo Flite and Rise and hear what you think!! 🙏🏼
can we get a consumer kite review? smaller brands and how they perform vs the price range, that would be cool as well!
Congrats to Alex and the Harlem team, hope this propels the brand among the more known ones.

Lieuwe falcon review would be epic!

Nice content!
Sicke video, ook goede keuze denk ik 🤙🏻
bellissimo video, grande lorenzo...ma sei italiano o americano nativo?
bizar dat ze die guy hebben kunnen signen
Which board are you using in this test. Also which board size you riding in 40-45ktn, while using the 9?!
I that scenario I ride with the 135 Falcon
how do you weld fabric? I refuse to believe there is no glue
The full process is at the moment a trade secret. I asked the Harlem guys and there basically is no glue. In the future the manufacturing process of welding will come to light but at the moment it's kept secret ;)
laser
I would assume it's more like melting the layers together?

The Force didn’t do well in the blank kite test, was that because it’s not for the average Joe?
the force hasnt been in the blank kite test, you might be confused with the harlem strike.
