Elan Ripstick 96

Product description

For all ambitious freeriders. With a center width of 96mm, the Ripstick 96 is the most versatile of the series: wide enough for powder, but narrow enough at the waist for grip 'n' rip. These are true freeride skis that also serve as all-mountain skis for those who want maximum versatility on the mountain. Exceptional maneuverability and edge grip, SST sidewalls for direct force transfer.

Features:
- Carbon Line Technology
- SST Sidewall
- Wooden core TubeLite
- Carbon rods
- VaporTip
- Fibreglass

• The end result is an extremely lightweight, high-performance ski with uncompromising versatility and smooth performance.

Fibreglass
Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and increases the torsional stiffness of the ski. Fiberglass is placed either above or below the core of the ski and improves the structural integrity of the ski.

VaporTip reinforcement
Vapor inserts are advanced composites integrated into the tip and tail of the ski core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improve stability and ensure a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.

Wooden core TubeLite
I would take these babes where I really enjoyed the extra performance they offered on skis. I was able to increase my pivot a little bit on each turn and felt confident taking more aggressive lines than I normally would on lighter touring skis. Technology improvements and subtle design tweaks have enhanced all the features that make the Ripstick 102s already a super fun ski. Now instead of ski adjusters, well 102s rail on the adjusters and the strength offered through the geometry of their asymmetrical Amphibio design is significantly greater thanks to the stiffness offered by the carbon inserts.

SST construction
The SST design provides fast, nimble and direct power transfer from ski to snow, as well as exceptional torsional stiffness.

Carbon tube inserts
Lightweight carbon tubing inserted into the ski and running the length of the ski along the arc of the sidecut. Carbon tubes provide torsional stability and strong rebound while allowing for core material reduction. The result is incredibly easy response and stability.
