I have tried this harness with the stealth bar. A friend has one and it's very good. I was considering this for my next harness (or the Steath) but was put off by the negative comments around the hook breakages. It would be good for everyone if Mystic could comment on this.
There was a bad batch of hooks. They are all being replaced now. The info on the recall can be found here...www.mysticboarding.com/news/stealth-bar/stealth-bar-kite-hook-replacement
I have the 2019 version of this baby and I appreciate it very much. I had to decide between the ride engine and this one and I was told before and made the same experience, that ride engine may make a bit more comfortable impression but is much less well build. The ride engine is a little bit shorter in height, which supports the comfortable impression but I haven’t seen any ride engine harness yet without threads hanging from the stitches. So the mystic one has a far better fabrication quality. For a high tech piece of equipment beyond the 500€ mark my emphasis lies on comfort but also on quality.
What is it about Mystic spreader bar hooks breaking that I see online recently? Are these real or a smear campaign done by other companies? If there is such a thing what is Mystics warranty on these hooks breaking.
I’ve been following that on Facebook. I’ve checked with the shop a few times since including today and so far no one has contacted MAC about an issue. My guess is there might have been a bad batch. I can only speculate. We’re touching base with Mystic to get some intel. As for warranty, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t. Even if they didn’t we would. 🤟🏻 - Rygo

@@MACkiteboarding I always like their products and thought they were well built.
