Women's Touring Skis Elan Ripstick 102 W

Women's Touring Skis Elan Ripstick 102W

The most capable of the capable! The women's version of the Ripstick, featuring numerous construction innovations and 102 millimeters underfoot, delivers uncompromising reliability and handling across varied terrain. One of the improvements is Carbon Line technology – an asymmetrically shaped core that places carbon fiber above the inner edge height, ensuring better power transfer to the edge and rigidity. Attention has also been paid to the external shape of the skis, which narrows the tip profile to improve float and reduce unwanted vibrations. The tail of the Ripstick 102 uses less material than the previous model. The result of the redesigned tail construction of the Ripstick enables easier handling in turns and a choice between light or aggressive turn completion. To further reduce vibrations caused by changing snow conditions, the skis are fitted with VaporTip inserts, which also provide stability when reaching higher speeds. The inner wood core along its entire length is completed by light, hollow carbon tubes that follow the curve and maintain lightness and torsional stability. With 102 millimeters underfoot, the Ripstick skis will be a perfect choice for skiers who love tackling demanding freeride challenges.

Technologies:

• Amphibio Profile: Elan's innovative system combining rocker and camber. Pre-stressed camber profile on the inside ensures precision, uncompromising edge grip and stability, while rocker on the other side forgives errors and aids turn lightness.
• Tubelite Construction: The ski base features a light, laminated wood core, complemented along its entire length by two longitudinal hollow tubes made from carbon fiber. The result is responsiveness, stability and reduced core weight without sacrificing ride quality.
• SST Construction: The side edge, named SST, ensures fast, agile and direct power transfer from ski to snow, improving performance.
• Amphibio Carbon Line: An asymmetrically shaped core that places carbon fiber at the inner edge height, improving direct power transfer.
• Vaportip Reinforcement: Composite inserts positioned in the ski core at the beginning and end help reduce weight and unwanted vibrations from the base, providing stable riding and smooth turns in the most demanding conditions.
• Fiberglass Reinforcement: Internal reinforcements made from fiberglass significantly improve the torsional stability of the ski and optimize flex
