Why Choose the PURE 2026?
Fast Loops and Redirects
Smaller, cropped wingtips reduce tip drag and sharpen the response to steering input. The result is tight turning and quick redirection for freestyle transitions, powerful jumps and wave riding.
Clear Bar Feedback
The PURE retains its direct bar feel and reactive steering. Consistent feedback helps you make precise inputs as you change direction, send a jump or link maneuvers.
Consistent Speed and Power
Refined profile alignment improves airflow and power delivery. Together with mini-battens in the wingtips, it supports stable flight and more consistent loop speeds when the wind becomes gusty.
A Frame That Holds Its Shape
New ForceTec Dacron forms the leading edge and strut frame. Reinforcing yarns help resist deformation under load, preserving the PURE’s precise handling through demanding maneuvers.
