The weight of the equipment often serves as a key performance indicator in dynamic water sports. This concept is the driving force behind the design of the Lyte harness, recognized as one of the lightest options available, whether dry or wet. Leveraging advances in material science, the Lyte uses materials that provide unparalleled support, comfort, and performance without water absorption during use. Its highlighted features include the Curv® composite rigid shell technology, the thermoformed Cell-Lock body interface, all in a configuration under 1KG in medium size. It's the ideal choice for riders conscious about reducing grams.

Why Continue Using Straps?

Harnesses incorporating straps first appeared in 1974 with the pioneering work of Pat Love and Ken Klied, who recognized their exceptional combination of strength, flexibility, and reliability, especially suitable for windsurfing. Since then, harness technology has undergone numerous advances, but straps persist as a mainstay in traditional designs for both windsurfing and kitesurfing. This legacy is what Ride Engine celebrates by featuring strap-based connections in their high-end harnesses.
