ION Water

ION Rival

Description

ION Rival is a soft waist harness for kitesurf that combines a low profile and lightweight construction with solid support. It is made for anyone who wants control without bulk - from beginners and intermediate riders to experienced kiters who want maximum freedom of movement. Rival is ION's take on a harness where comfort and price go hand in hand.

As a softshell harness with a Flex Index of 4, Rival has a very soft shell that moves with your body. The Internal Flex Belt closes snugly around your anatomy, while the HD Foam does not absorb water and keeps the harness light throughout your session. All of this is built around the newly developed Spectre Bar 2, which distributes the load optimally and provides stability without restricting your movement.

  • Softshell construction: Flex Index 4 provides a very soft and flexible shell that follows your body's movements.
  • Spectre Bar 2: Lightweight spreader bar with optimal load distribution and flexibility - supplied with a hook.
  • Kite Knife Multitool 2.0: Integrated safety knife and multitool with Torx (TX20) and PH3 wrench, which also works as a screwdriver.
  • Internal Flex Belt: Flexible closure system on the inside that adapts to your body and ensures a snug fit.
  • PVC Buckles: Durable buckles that make it easy to adjust the harness.
  • Leash D-Ring: Mono attachment point for a kite leash at the spreader bar, with your choice of side.
  • Complete package: Supplied as a complete set with a spreader bar including hook, kite knife, and safety leash handle.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Maintenance of your ION Rival harness

    Rinse the harness thoroughly in fresh water after every session on the water. Salt and dirt can break down the material and wear out the buckles and webbing, so a quick rinse significantly extends its lifespan.

    Hand-wash with mild soapy water as needed. Do not use a washing machine, tumble dryer or dry cleaning, and avoid strong cleaning products, as they can damage the neoprene and foam.

    Dry the harness flat or hanging in the shade with good air circulation. Never let it dry in direct sunlight or on a heater, as UV light and heat make the material stiff and brittle.

    Make sure the harness is completely dry before putting it away. Store it rolled up or lying flat in a cool, dry place - not tightly folded or crammed into a bag with other gear. Regularly check the buckles, belt and spreader bar for wear.

  • FAQ

    What’s included when I buy the ION Rival?

    The Rival comes as a complete set with a spreader bar including a hook, a Kite Knife 2.0 multitool, and a safety leash handle. So you can head straight out on the water without any extra accessories.

    What sizes is the ION Rival available in?

    The harness comes in sizes 46/XS, 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, and 54/XL. Check the size chart to find the size that fits your body.

    Is the Rival suitable for beginners?

    Yes. Its soft softshell construction and intuitive fit make the Rival easy to get started with, while its support and equipment also satisfy experienced kiters.

    How soft is the ION Rival?

    The Rival has a flex index of 4 on ION's scale, which means a very soft shell that offers plenty of freedom of movement and no annoying pressure points.

    What is the Kite Knife Multitool 2.0 used for?

    It's an integrated safety knife that can cut you free in critical situations. It also works as a multitool, with a Torx TX20 and PH3 tool for adjusting footstraps and ION's spreader bars.

    Can I attach my kite leash to the harness?

    Yes. There's a Leash D-Ring on the spreader bar, where you can easily and securely attach your kite leash. You can choose which side the ring is on.

    How do I best care for the harness?

    Rinse it in fresh water after use and let it dry in the shade. Store it completely dry and lying flat so the spreader bar and foam last as long as possible.
