About this harness

The Elite T2 keeps the Elite platform — biometric STEP-2 shaping, the Hyperlock spreader, featherweight build — but swaps the 12K carbon for a composite shell with more torsional flex. The result supports like a hardshell yet twists with the rider through carves and rotations. The Elite for riders who found the Carbon too honest.
