Elan Ripstick 96 Ski

ELAN RIPSTICK 96 SKI – 2022

If a smoothness indicator existed for skis, the Ripstick 96 would be off the charts! A true freeride ski that doubles as an all-mountain ski for those who want ultimate versatility on the mountain. The Ripstick 96 uses the best technology and lightest weight materials with a modern shape and taper design that make it a perfect choice for every day, on any mountain. It’s wide enough to handle powder yet narrow enough in the waist to rip up the front side. With Amphibio profile for exceptional maneuverability and edge grip, SST sidewalls for direct power transmission, and TNT technology for dynamic power, this multiple award-winning skis provide a silky smooth ride no matter where your mountain exploration takes you.

FEATURES

Amphibio Profile

• The Amphibio profile is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip, and stability while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.

Tubelite Wood Core

• To create the TubeLite Wood Core, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run along the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Carbon Line Technology

• Amphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. Amphibio Carbon Line technology elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next level by strategically locating carbon reinforcement over the inside edges of the skis providing more power in the turn, while carbon rods inserted into the woodcore maximize weight savings and overall stability. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performance ski with uncompromised versatility and smooth performance.

Vapor Tip Inserts

• Vapor Tip inserts are advanced composites that are integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski‘s core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.

Fiberglass

• Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the ?ex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fibers are positioned either above or below the ski core and improve the ski’s structural integrity.

SST Sidewall Construction

• The SST Sidewall Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
• We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
