Carbon hard shell construction
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.
The carbon fusion plate brings maximum rigidity, offering excellent responsiveness and back support.
Easy-to-handle carbon adjustment of the spreader bar webbings with a pleasantly light weight.
Non-water-absorbent, fully moulded EVA padding. Prevents the harness from riding up or rotating unwillingly.
The integrated Ergo_Pad on the harness inside offers optimal lumbar support, for ergonomic back support and injury prevention.
A flexible closing belt system on the inside guarantees a snug fit and adapts perfectly to the rider's individual anatomy.
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.
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.

Tech features
Carbon Composite.
50% Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, 20% Carbon, 10% Polyester, 10% Polyamide, 10% Fibreglass.
ION's first-ever fully carbon shell eliminates flex and resists deformation even under extreme force.
1050 g (size M), 14% lighter than the Riot Curv size M.
Developed in collaboration with medical experts. Pressure from the kite is guided through an integrated channel that shields the vertebrae, while raised trigger points on each side redirect forces onto the surrounding muscles.
Included as standard. A durable forged aluminium hook embedded in the bar's body with a top-bend design for increased resistance and reduced leverage, a carbon-infused base plate reinforced with recycled carbon fibres, integrated soft padding, flaps on both sides to prevent twisting, and side loops for easy on and off.
Durable stainless steel connection between spreader bar and webbings, with a lever hook system for quick setup and no adjustments needed.
Flagged as a climate-neutral product by ION.
