The Rival is the latest addition to ION’s harness range, offering a soft-shell alternative for kiters who prioritize comfort and simplicity. With a flex index of 4, it's one of the softest harnesses in the ION lineup – providing plenty of freedom without compromising essential support.

The new edition introduces the Spectre Bar 2, an upgraded hook with a stiffer load plate for better force distribution and improved kite control. Spectre Flaps on the sides stabilize the bar and prevent it from twisting, especially under heavy load.

Inside, the Internal Flex_Belt and HD_Foam padding ensure a snug and comfortable fit, adapting to your body without absorbing water. The EVA lining on the inner surface adds ergonomic support and long-lasting comfort.

The Rival is a versatile choice, used by riders of all levels – including Big Air World Champion Andrea Principi.

 

Material: 25% Neoprene 5% Ethylenvinylacetate 10% Polyester 40% Nylon 20% Polyvincylchloride
