About this kite
Harlem grew out of the Dutch big-air scene and the Thrive is its core statement: a five-strut performance platform tuned for powerful lift, long hangtime and confident loop recovery. The LiteX sister construction brings an Aluula frame to the same outline for riders chasing every gram.
