Carbon hard shell construction

ION Waist Kite Spectre

The ION Spectre kite harness delivers maximum support with a carbon shell and ergonomic fit, trusted by Andrea Principi, King of the Air 2024 champion.

ION takes harness innovation to the next level with the all-new Spectre, a next-generation design built to push boundaries and dominate sessions. At its core: ION's first-ever fully carbon shell, delivering unmatched back support and lightning-fast response. The Carbon Fusion Plate provides maximum stiffness with minimal weight, achieving a best-in-class stiffness-to-weight ratio.

Weighing in at just 1050g, the Spectre is 14% lighter than the Riot Curv (size M), making it one of the lightest and most responsive harnesses in ION's lineup. Inside, the Hydro_Cush liner, a non-water-absorbent EVA foam, keeps you dry and comfortable session after session. The integrated Ergo_Pad ensures an ergonomic fit that adapts to your body for all-day support. Contest-tested and rider-approved by Andrea Principi and Edgar Ulrich, the Spectre isn't just a harness, it's your competitive edge. Comes equipped with ION's Spectre Bar 2.0 and aluminium hook.

All harnesses are delivered as a complete set, including the spreader bar (incl. hook), kite knife and safety leash handle.

Key features

Carbon fusion plate

C_30_Buckle

Easy-to-handle carbon adjustment of the spreader bar webbings with a pleasantly light weight.

Hydro_Cush liner

Non-water-absorbent, fully moulded EVA padding. Prevents the harness from riding up or rotating unwillingly.

Ergo_Pad

The integrated Ergo_Pad on the harness inside offers optimal lumbar support, for ergonomic back support and injury prevention.

Internal Flex_Belt

A flexible closing belt system on the inside guarantees a snug fit and adapts perfectly to the rider's individual anatomy.

Kite_Knife 2.0 multitool

Multitool and safety knife including a Torx (TX20) key and PH3; can be used for footstraps and the modular hook system of ION's spreader bars.

Leash D-Ring

Kite leash attachment point next to your spreader bar for enhanced safety and usability. Light and robust, and the side can be varied depending on personal preference.
