ION Riot Curv 2026 Harness

High performance hardshell harness with perfect fit from ION

The ION Riot Curv 2026 is for kitesurfers who want maximum back support combined with plenty of freedom of movement. This 2026 version of the Riot Curv features a completely redesigned 3D shaped CURV hardshell that delivers the best of both worlds, a super stiff core for massive support and more flexible sides that adapt to your body. There is a reason pro riders like Matchu Lopes and Noè Font trust this harness. Want to know why the Riot Curv is so popular within the ION range? Read on.

A harness that fits your body perfectly is essential for comfort and performance. With the 3D Fit Technology you can choose from standard sizes as well as intermediate sizes, and the Ergo Pad is interchangeable. This way you can tune the Riot Curv to your body shape and your kite style. The inside features an internal Flex_Belt closure that pulls the harness super tight around your waist and shapes itself seamlessly to your anatomy. Pressure points? You will not feel them. The Hyper_Foam padding on the inside is a viscoelastic foam that does not absorb water, keeping the Riot Curv nice and light throughout your entire session.

On the outside, the Spectre flaps add that extra bit of stability. These TPE plastic flaps prevent your spreader bar from rotating upwards during your session and provide super direct feedback when steering the kite. Want to remove them quickly? You can do that without any tools. The included Spectre Bar 2 spreader bar is lightweight yet powerful, and distributes the forces from your kite evenly across your back. The carbon C_30_Buckle makes adjusting the spreader bar straps so light and easy that you can pull it perfectly tight.

The Riot Curv 2026 comes as a complete set with spreader bar, hook, Kite_knife Multitool 2.0, D-Ring and safety handle. The Kite_knife 2.0 is both a knife and a multitool with a Torx (TX20) key and PH3, ideal for adjusting your footstraps or the modular hook system. The Leash D-Ring can be placed on either the left or right side of the spreader bar, so you can attach your kite leash exactly where you want it.

In short, looking for a hardshell harness that combines support, comfort and performance in a super complete package? The ION Riot Curv 2026 Harness is a top choice for the advanced kitesurfer who wants to get the most out of every session.
