Ride Engine Elite Carbon Type 2 Hyperlock 2027 Harness

Flexible hardshell harness for freestyle from Ride Engine

Love twisting your upper body through a handlepass, or spending hours on your foilboard with your hips constantly moving? Then the Ride Engine Elite Carbon Type 2 Hyperlock 2027 is your harness. Where the Type 1 goes for maximum stiffness, the Type 2 deliberately gives you more torsional flex. The shell can rotate with your upper body, while the lumbar lock support in your lower back stays right where it should. The result is a freer feel without losing the support of a hardshell.

That difference comes from the composite STEP-2 hardshell. Its shape is based on biometric analysis and motion research, so the shell follows the line of your back instead of the other way round. What you get is a harness that spreads your kite's pull evenly, even when you're getting yanked up hard in a powered freestyle trick or smashing through chop on your foil.

The Hyperlock spreader bar makes adjusting a matter of seconds. With the ratchets you pull the harness to exactly the tension you want, even out on the water when it's loosened up a bit after a few jumps. The ratchets replace the classic webbing connection and run on patented, licensed technology that's been tested for over six years, a year and a half of that in-house at Ride Engine.

On the inside you'll find the familiar Ride Engine finish: closed-cell Fusion foam and a full neoprene comfort wrap. The neoprene sits right on the contact points that matter and prevents chafing, while the EVA anti-slip inserts stop the harness from twisting. You also get Hydrocinch Technology, multiple leash attachment options and an internal elastic waistband with a pocket for your knife. Looking for a light hardshell that moves with you instead of locking you in? Then the Ride Engine Elite Carbon Type 2 Hyperlock 2027 is your next harness.
