Ride Engine Safety Bulletin: Hyperlock Harnesses
Ride Engine places your safety above all else and has issued a bulletin regarding a rare but important issue identified with the Hyperlock harness system.
A very limited number of riders have reported spreader bar slippage under extreme load conditions. While these cases are uncommon, Ride Engine treats every instance with the utmost seriousness. To address the issue, the brand has introduced a design upgrade component that fully eliminates the possibility of slippage and ensures the harness continues to perform as intended.
Potential Risk
In the rare event of slippage, the spreader bar may shift or release unexpectedly, which could compromise your connection to the harness and result in a loss of control.
How to Identify if Your Harness Is Impacted
Impacted harnesses have an open receiver on the ratchet body (see illustration below).
Only the following harness models/years are affected: 2025 production year Hyperlock (Models: Elite Carbon Type 1 – Elite Type 2 – Lyte).
If you are unsure whether your harness is impacted, please visit our support page and our Rider Support team will help you confirm.
