Racing2025-04-25 · JP · Release dateChecked 2026-10-31

FAST-R NITRO Elite 3 is a third-generation road racer developed with elite athletes. PUMA reduced weight by about 95g from the previous model to roughly 170g at 27cm, then paired a new two-layer NITROFOAM ELITE midsole with a carbon PWRPLATE extending through and beyond the forefoot. The ULTRAWEAVE upper uses PWRTAPE reinforcement for breathable support, while PUMAGRIP handles traction across varied road surfaces.
