Ride Engine
Ride Engine Elite Carbon V7 Black
The Elite Carbon is Ride Engine's flagship hard-shell kite harness, engineered for riders who demand maximum support with minimal weight. A carbon-injected outer shell delivers the stiffest, most responsive load distribution in the range, spreading kite power evenly across your back instead of digging into it.
Ride Engine's scientifically shaped Lumbar Lock back panel locks the harness into the small of your back for a precise, no-ride-up fit, while the contoured interior padding keeps you comfortable through long sessions on the water. The Elite Carbon connects seamlessly with the Unity Spreader Bar system for fast, secure, rattle-free connectivity (and remains compatible with traditional webbing-closure spreader bars).
*Spreader bar included.

PRODUCT FEATURES
12K Carbon Armor Shell
Built with 12K carbon fiber, the Armor Shell of our Elite Carbon is light, strong, and ergonomically contoured—as well as our stiffest. The Armor Shell also allows the load to be distributed seamlessly from the spreader bar to the shell, preventing the harness from buckling or pinching.
Unity Spreader Bar Compatible
Our “set it and forget it” spreader bar system that creates a solid, stable connection, the Unity Spreader Bar has an ingenious design utilizing custom-molded ladder-lock straps, thereby eliminating the use of traditional webbing and providing an unrivaled locked-in fit.
Lumbar Lock
A scientifically supported data shape from more than 1000 custom molds, the Lumbar Lock conforms and cradles your lumbar, back and sides to lock the harness securely in place. These enhanced ergonomics ensure that you get the maximum support out of your harness—no more harness sliding side-to-side or riding up.
Low Profile Design
Low-profile framework contributes to a perfect fit and maximum mobility while keeping the harness locked in place and eliminating pressure points.
Handle-Pass, Front-Mounted Leash Attachments
For freestyle riders, the harness comes with handle-pass-leash mount around the back (which is easy to remove for windsurfing). It also has two front-mounted leash attachment points for use when a short leash is utilized.
Fusion Memory Foam
Super soft, ergonomic foam conforms to the shape of your torso for ultimate comfort and hold.
Internal Waist Belt Strap
An internal, single-closure waist-belt strap provides a secure fit and easy entry and adjustment.
Hook-Knife Pocket
Easy access hook-knife pocket location.
