Ride Engine Elite Carbon Type 1 Webbing 2027 Harness

Carbon hardshell harness with webbing from Ride Engine

Not everyone is waiting for a new closure system. If you've been riding with webbing for years and know exactly how your harness should sit, the Ride Engine Elite Carbon Type 1 Webbing 2027 is built for you. You get all the tech of the new Elite in a familiar webbing setup, with 4-point webbing retention that pulls the harness evenly around your hips and keeps it exactly where you set it.

The foundation is the 12K Carbon STEP-2 hardshell, the same back plate as the Hyperlock version and the stiffest flex Ride Engine makes. Its shape comes from biometric analysis and motion research, so the shell follows the natural line of your lower back on every axis. That gives you the stiffness you want when you're getting pulled hard, without the edges digging into your ribs or hips. Your kite's pull spreads over a bigger area, so you last longer in powered conditions.

The TRAD spreader bar comes as standard and is solidly built. You get an 8mm stainless steel hook, the thickest on the market, with pre-curved stabilising wings that keep the bar flat against your stomach instead of letting it tilt. The Mega Spreader Bar pad behind it means you don't feel any of that, even on long hooked-in sessions.

The carbon shell is fully wrapped in a neoprene liner with internal Fusion closed-cell foam. The neoprene sits right on the contact points that matter and prevents chafing, while the EVA anti-slip inserts stop the harness from twisting during jumps and landings. You also get multiple leash attachment points and an internal elastic waistband with a pocket for your knife. Want carbon performance without changing your habits?
