The PUMA Fast-R Elite V3 is an advanced long-distance racer featuring a carbon plate and the latest NITROELITE foam. While it offers a lighter and faster ride compared to Version 2, it sacrifices some stability due to a narrower design. Version 2 remains the preferred choice for stability during long runs, making it better for distances over 30 km. V3 has a thinner, more breathable upper and improved PWRPLATE flexibility, enhancing transitions. However, it uses a softer midsole foam and has reduced durability. Both versions perform well in traction, particularly in wet conditions.
Version 2 of the Fast-R Elite is a better long-distance racer due to its stability, while Version 3 offers a lighter and faster experience, ideal for shorter races.
The V3's PWRPLATE provides increased flexibility but compromises on stability, favoring faster transitions that benefit lighter runners, despite being less durable.
