Description
The Ride Engine Elite Type 2 Hyperlock harness is designed for riders who want maximum stiffness, precise support, and a fully locked-in feel when riding powered. Built using a composite hardshell construction, it delivers consistent performance for big air, freestyle, and aggressive freeride sessions.
WHO IT’S FOR
- Discipline: Kitesurfing (Big Air, Freestyle, Performance Freeride)
- Conditions: Powered riding, strong wind, chop, and boosting conditions
- Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced riders
KEY FEATURES
-
Composite Elite Shell
Extremely stiff hardshell construction reduces flex, keeping your posture stable under load. -
Hyperlock Closure System
Dual-stage closure system locks the harness tightly to your body for zero movement while riding. -
Lumbar Lock Fit
Pre-shaped back support improves comfort and reduces lower back fatigue during long sessions. -
Low Profile Design
Keeps the harness compact and close to your body for better freedom of movement. -
Spreader Bar Compatibility
Works with Ride Engine Unity Spreader Bars for a clean, solid connection.
REAL-WORLD FEEL
On the water, the Elite Type 2 feels extremely solid and supportive. There’s almost no flex in the shell, which means when you edge hard or load up for a jump, all the power transfers efficiently into your board rather than being lost through the harness.
Compared to softer harnesses, it feels more locked-in and precise. That’s ideal for big air riders or anyone pushing height and control—but it does feel more technical. If you prefer a softer, more forgiving feel, this will feel noticeably stiffer.
The Hyperlock system makes a big difference. Once dialled in, the harness doesn’t ride up or shift, even during crashes or powered transitions.
FIT / SETUP NOTES
- Fit is performance-oriented and snug
- Take time to properly adjust the Hyperlock system for best results
- Works best when paired with the correct spreader bar size
- Riders between sizes should consider how tight they prefer their fit
WHY WE STOCK IT
We stock the Elite Type 2 because it’s one of the most supportive harnesses available for high-performance riding. For riders pushing big air or riding fully powered, it offers a level of stability and control that softer harnesses simply can’t match.
It’s not for everyone—but for the right rider, it’s a serious upgrade.
FAQs
Is this harness suitable for beginners?
Not really. It’s designed for riders who are already comfortable riding powered and want maximum support.
Does it ride up?
No—when fitted correctly, the Hyperlock system keeps it firmly in place.
Is it comfortable for long sessions?
Yes, if you like a firm, supportive harness. It reduces fatigue but feels stiffer than soft-shell options.
What makes it different from Type 1?
The Type 2 refines the fit and closure system, improving how securely the harness wraps and locks onto your body.
