Lyte V2 Storm Grey

LYTE V2

A Ride Engine harness can’t just be lightweight— it also has to excel in terms of comfort and no-compromise performance. We accomplished this by utilizing the same data-driven design of our Elite Carbon and combing that with the latest in material technology. The ingenious Curv® composite material we use is not merely lightweight—its high tensile strength allows the shell to retain Ride Engine’s scientifically designed Lumbar Lock shape, which has become renowned for eliminating harness rise and twisting on the body. Equipped with Direct Connection or Webbing Connection, the Lyte V2 integrates directly with our Unity Spreader Bar, which completely eliminates spreader bar slip and twist. Additionally making the Lyte the ultimate lightweight travel harness is our Cell-Lock Foam: thermoformed closed-cell foam that’s Lycra laminated to virtually eliminate all water absorption and keep the harness light no matter how long your session.

BRISA V1

The science and testing that brought the world’s first and best fitting unisex hard-shell harness, now brings you the best harness for women. Meet the Brisa- Ride Engine’s first ever women’s specific fit harness for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Through rigorous testing we uncovered the optimal wrap profile and height to fit the unique qualities of the female physique. The locked-in fit around the hip allows for complete mobility, all while keeping the same scientifically, data backed Lumbar Lock shape. The Brisa is built using Curv com- posite material that retains a hard-shell harness feel. With the mid-flex rating acting like suspension, it smooths out the ride from choppy water to hard landings. Equipped with the innovative Unity Direct Connection system that has become the benchmark for eliminating harness spreader bar rise and twist.
