2020 Elan Ripstick 88- On of the best all mountain skis on the snow
The Ripstick family grows with addition of the Ripstick 88. It's the perfect combination of versatility, agility and performance for every condition the mountain can dish out. As a true all-mountain ski, the completely redesigned Ripstick 88 is the missing link between on and off piste and addresses the needs of skiers who prefer a smooth yet forgiving ride.
Inheriting the tech pedigree from wider Ripsticks, its equally confident off piste and on groomers, especially at the end of the day when its no longer fresh corduroy. Optimizing the combo of Elans unique Amphibio profile this narrower Ripstick is agile, smooth and easy to ski. The secret lies within the innovative TNT Technology for a snappy and lively feel while the SST sidewalls complement the TubeLite Woodcore for direct transmission of power edge to edge. The age-old challenge in ski design is creating a lightweight product, that offers uncompromising float and stability on ungroomed terrain, that also excels at alpine touring. The Ripstick lives up to the challenge, making it the ultimate freeride ski for any experience in the mountains.
For Advanced To Expert Skiers. The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity. To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run 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. Vapor inserts are advanced composites integrated into the tip and tail area of the skis core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions. Fiberflass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fiberglass is positioned either above or below the ski core and improves a skis structural integrity. TNT technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. TNT Technology integrates Vapor Tip Inserts into a TubeLite Woodcore. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performace ski with exceptional power, dampness and stability. Amphibio technology 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.The item "2020 Elan Ripstick 88- On of the best all mountain skis on the snow" is in sale since Thursday, March 4, 2021.
