FEATURES

12K Carbon Step-2 Hard-Shell

Employing biometric analysis and advanced movement design, the 12K carbon Step-2 hard-shell in the Ride Engine harness line offers the stiffest flex available. This meticulous approach results in the most comfortable, supportive, and high-performance harness currently on the market.

Hyperlock Ratchet Technology

Featuring patented and licensed technology, these ratchets replace the traditional webbing connection. Rigorously tested for over 6 years, including 1.5 years of in-house testing at Ride Engine.

Hyperlock Spreader Bar

Ensuring seamless and highly adjustable integration with Hyperlock ratchets, this configuration offers a completely new level of harness-to-rider interaction. Aftermarket closed metal loop, sliding rope spreader and windsurf hook compatible.

Full Neoprene wrap with EVA Anti-Slip Inserts

HYPERLOCK RACHET ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM

Introducing the groundbreaking Hyperlock ratchet spreader bar and closure system. This system incorporates the patented Hydrocinch technology, enabling instant, on-the-fly adjustments for unparalleled security and comfort, setting a new standard for slip-free harnesses.

By leveraging the Ride Engine Unity System as a foundational element, we gained a substantial advantage in both material science and integration. The evolution of ratchet technology, in its next iteration, underwent an extensive period of testing and refinement to guarantee reliability, seamless integration, and efficient functionality under diverse environmental and usage conditions.

This comprehensive testing process included:

1.5 years of rigorous field testing with Alpha and Beta testers across all conditions.
Multiple iterations and prototype constructions to fine-tune the system.
Intensive laboratory testing to ensure performance standards were met and exceeded.
