• Locks in place, doesn’t ride up or shift from side to side • Spreads load evenly across back and torso • Allows full range of motion for uninhibited wave riding • Low-profile fit, doesn’t get in the way • Features hook and slider bars for different styles of riding If you’ve ever dealt with a harness that doesn’t fit properly, hurts your back, rides up too high, shifts from side to side, squeezes your waist under load or inhibits your range of motion, Ride Engine’s hard-shell harness is your problem solver.The magic lies in Ride Engine’s innovative hard-shell design that locks firmly into your lumbar and spreads load evenly across your back and sides. Based on hundreds of custom molds taken from riders’ backs, the shell provides unrivaled ergonomics and allows for a low-profile, high-performance fit that will literally change your entire kiteboarding experience.
Elite Series:
The Elite Series harness features a super stiff and light weight carbon fiber shell that the rest of the harness is built around. For those who want the very best in high-performance materials and construction, this is the harness for you. When compared to the Hex Core model, the Carbon Elite is slightly stiffer, lighter and more durable. 2017 Updates:• Improved waist belt with reworked spreader bar integration system • Upgraded backplate stitching for increased durability • Neoprene added to the interior of the waistbelt for added comfort and cushion • Kite knife pocket added • New sizes added: XS through XXL now available Features: • Hard-shell construction • Precision fit • Lumbar Lock• Low profile • Fusion foam • Integrated waist belt • Speed-loop closure • Kite knife pouch
HARD-SHELL CONSTRUCTION: Ride Engine pioneered the hard-shell harness concept and has refined it even further for 2017. The hard shell is ergonomically contoured to the shape and curves of a rider’s back. The shell serves several key functions. Most notably, it spreads load and forces from the kite evenly across the rider’s back and sides. Traditional soft harnesses compress, pinch and fold under pressure, but where they fail, Ride Engine excels.
PRECISION FIT: In Ride Engine’s early days, harnesses were custom built, with shells shaped from molds taken from rider’s backs. These molds were saved, and they served as an invaluable tool in generating the precise shape today’s Armor Harnesses are based around. The result is an ergonomic, form-fitting harness that locks into the contours of your back exceptionally well.
LUMBAR LOCKThe Armor Harness has a distinct kink vertically along the center of the shell. This feature, aptly named “Lumbar Lock,” is designed to fit into the center of the rider’s back. This serves two purposes- it provides ergonomic support that matches the shape of your body and it locks the harness into place and prevents it from shifting from side to side.
LOW PROFILE: The Armor’s hard shell provides superior back support. Because of this, the harness can be shorter vertically across the rider’s back. This low-profile fit improves rider mobility and range of motion as there is less harness to get in the way or restrict movement.
FUSION FOAM:Super soft foam conforms to the shape of your torso for ultimate comfort and hold. The foam is cushy enough that you don’t feel the hard shell from the inside. The idea is to feel the shell’s support but not the shell itself.
Spreader bar optionsSliding rope: For surfing, freeriding and general hooked-in riding, the sliding rope spreader bar will literally change your kiteboarding experience. Your chicken loop connects directly to the rope and slides freely across the entire length of the spreader bar. With a standard hook, your harness twists and pulls from different angles depending on your body and kite position. The sliding rope system allows you to rotate your body freely, independent of your kite position, which in turn allows you to keep your harness locked-in and low where it is meant to be. Fixed Hook: For freestyle riders or those who want the ability to unhook, a standard fixed hook spreader bar is also available. Changing between the two options takes about one minute. Riders who use the hook have given rave reviews about the Armor Harness, mainly for the harness’s low-profile, high support advantages. It allows aggressive riders to hold down more kite, ride harder and move more freely than any other harness on the market.

Hex Core: The Hex Core model is made from injection honeycomb core technology. This creates the super strong but light weight shell that the rest of the harness is built around. When compared to the Carbon Elite model, the Hex Core is slightly more flexible. For freestyle and unhooked riding, pair the Hex Core harness with our standard fixed-hook spreader bar. For surfing and general hooked-in freeriding, pair it with our metal or carbon slider bar. 2017 Updates:• Improved waist belt with reworked spreader bar integration system • Upgraded backplate stitching for increased durability • Neoprene added to the interior of the waistbelt for added comfort and cushion • Kite knife pocket added • New sizes added: XS through XXL now available Features: • Hard-shell construction • Precision fit • Lumbar Lock• Low profile • Fusion foam • Integrated waist belt • Speed-loop closure • Kite knife pouch

Infos & Characteristics
Having worked on ergonomic designs for a while, our goal was to push our frame concept to more stiffness, allowing a better support of the back & a lower fit. But something 100% hard was not an option: Our back needs some adaptability & human morphology is unique.
So here comes the ECLIPSE, a skilful balance between stiffness & flex that brings support where you need it and the freedom to move the way you want.

So here comes the ECLIPSE, a skilful balance between stiffness & flex that brings support where you need it and the freedom to move the way you want.
The harness comes with a standard hook, a rope and a knife.
Infos & Characteristics
It all started from an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of current harness technologies, regarding in particular the softshell (the classic flexible harness) and the hardshell (the rigid shell harness):
The Softshell
The softshell provides perfect adaptability to the user's body type and movements.But it becomes distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are compressed.It therefore has good adaptability, but little hold.
The Hardshell
The hardshell does not become distorted under the pressure of the kite: The user's sides are not compressed.But it has no adaptability to the user's body type and movements.It therefore has a very good hold, but little adaptability.
By separating the functions of "effort management" and "comfort", we have created a harness that adapts perfectly to your body type and your movements, while offering unparalleled support.
The Marshall Seat Harness combines strength with maximum freedom of movement, made with premium Flexshell and a 3D moulded backplate, offering optimal back support. The seat cup is pre-shaped, meaning that along with the soft neoprene edges and fix foam, you'll be able to hold down power comfortably and effortlessly while riding.
Please note: safety knife is sold separately.

Always improving, always streamlining – that’s how our best products are crafted, and our latest upgrades to the Stealth are no exception. As our most lightweight harness to date, the Stealth weighs in at just 900g (or 1,98lb) which is 37% lighter than the previous model. All this is due to the Stealth’s shape and padding, which is now built in 3D, giving us a minimal yet smooth grip all around. Freedom of movement is optimized by removing height from the sides, which also reduces the pressure points when riding. The Battlebelt is now thinner and half the thickness of what it used to be, saving on weight and minimizing friction. To round it off, the Stealth features our new Flexcover storage system with an integrated safety knife pocket.
Please note: safety knife and handlepass loop are sold separately.

The Connect Seat V3 harness is based on the Connect Waist V4 with added leg strap support that is fully adjustable for rider preference
Developed closely
RELIABILITY, CONTROL AND NO RUBBING
From freeride cruising to high speed racing situations the Connect Seat V3 harness perfectly transfers loads from the kite into the rider’s legs without restricting movement. What makes this harness truly outstanding is that you don’t feel pressure points on your body.
You’ll feel no rubbing and no bruising, just pure pleasure and comfort thanks to the sleek lines and precisely sculpted shape with the ultra soft foam padding and neoprene layers.
Like all our accessories and hardware, the Connect Seat V3 is produced with care and expertise in our own factory.
LOCKED-IN RIDE
The option to attach the leg straps directly to the spreader bar can provide a further locked-in ride. For a looser feeling you can leave the spreader bar and leg straps disconnected. In either set up the leg straps prevent the harness from sliding up, left or right, and keep the centre of gravity on your body low.
SIT BACK, RELAX AND RIDE!
Entry-level riders often fly the kite at the zenith, or at least higher in the sky than more experienced riders. Using a seat harness with the kite often in a high position feels more comfortable, as the harness will remain in position all day long without sliding up above your waist.
Essentially, you’ll feel in control of the kite’s power more quickly. As most of the power is locked-in lower down your body, this leaves your upper body to focus more on steering the kite and your direction of travel.
For freeriders who prefer the feeling and extra support of a seat harness, the Connect Seat V3 makes cruising and jumping very easy and enjoyable. Ride hard, in comfort!

High quality spliced Dyneema rope
Custom Low Friction Ring
Ultra lightweight from only 930 grams (approx.)
Ideal for wave, hydrofoil and free riders looking for maximum freedom of movement – the Sliding Spreader bar allows your body to rotate freely and is much more comfortable when riding toe side. There is less rotational force through the harness and it will remain centered on your body.
hard anodized Low Friction Ring
Our custom hard anodized Low Friction Ring is designed to fit the Click-In Loop – there is no need to change out the loop part on the Quick Release. Quick Release loops can also be used directly on the rope however this will increase friction and wear resulting in a shorter life span of parts. The high quality spliced Dyneema rope is ultra strong and long lasting, yet simple to replace when the time comes.

The Contour is our first-ever seat harness, and great attention was placed in its design in order to address all the shortcomings of traditional seat harnesses. The key design element in the Contour is the sacrum adjustment plate, which utilizes Curv® material that brings our hard-shell harness DNA into a seat harness. The sacrum adjustment plate creates a tighter, more supportive fit along the sacrum by removing the gap that is present in most seat harnesses. Additionally, the Contour is far more compact than other seat harnesses, fitting lower on the hips for added freedom, and has a secure, easy-to-adjust belt entry and adjustable padded leg loops.

Simply use the Unity Webbing Conversion Clips and you’ll get the fit and performance benefits of the Unity Spreader Bar's dual Tension Lock latch closures.
The Momentum V3 is our best-in-class soft-shell harness, built for those riders who desire the locked-in fit of a Ride Engine hard shell but also want maximum freedom and flex. The Momentum offers the same scientifically shaped Lumbar Lock back support and fit via a molded internal support plate. The Momentum harness connects directly with our Unity Spreader Bar with webbing for state-of-the-art connectivity.

From the outside, the Saber looks the same as our other Ride Engine harness—but look closer. Using the same proprietary data that created our Elite Carbon hard-shell shape, the frame of the Saber is actually a Structurally Engineered Shell of slightly softer composite material for the kitesurfer or windsurfer that wants a bit more freedom in their ride. The injected-molded shell has purpose-driven contours that deliver more torsional flex than the Elite Carbon and Lyte harnesses while still providing the full benefits of Lumbar Lock fit and that coveted Ride Engine locked-in feel. The Saber comes equipped with Unity Ladder-Lock Straps so it's ready to plug into our Unity Spreader Bar for maximum connectivity and zero slippage.
