Touring Skis Elan Ripstick 106 2023

The well-known Ripstick 106 returns for the new 2022/2023 season with numerous innovations that will enhance your riding experience in fresh powder as well as on hard and technically demanding terrain. The progressive shape of the Elan Ripstick skis features new Carbon Line technology, which upgrades the asymmetrical core above the inside edge with multiple carbon inserts for improved direct power transmission. The external form of the skis has also been refined, with a narrower tip design that improves float and reduces unwanted vibration. The tail of the Ripstick 106 skis uses less material than the previous model. The redesigned tail construction of the Ripstick skis enables easier turn control and gives you the choice between light or aggressive turn termination. To further reduce vibrations caused by changing snow conditions, the skis are equipped with VaporTip inserts that also ensure stability at higher speeds. The solid wooden core throughout is finished with light, hollow carbon tubes that follow the ski's curve and maintain lightweight and torsional stability. An excellent pair of skis for all freeride enthusiasts seeking reliability, agility and uncompromising float!

Technologies:

• Fiberglass Reinforcement: Internal reinforcements made from fiberglass significantly improve the torsional stability of the skis and optimize flex
• Vaportip Reinforcement: Composite inserts positioned in the ski core at the tip and tail help reduce weight and unwanted vibrations of the base, ensuring stable riding and smooth turns in the most challenging conditions
• Tubelite Woodcore: the Tubelite composite core foundation is a light laminated wooden core with two parallel carbon tubes integrated within it that follow the curve of the ski. The ski core delivers responsiveness, performance and low weight.
• Amphibio Carbon Line: an asymmetrically shaped core that places carbon fibres at the height of the inside edge to improve direct power transmission.
• SST Construction: the side edge, called SST, provides fast, agile and direct power transmission from the ski to the snow, improving performance
• Amphibio Profile: Elan's innovative rocker and camber hybrid system. Pre-tensioned camber on the inside provides precision, uncompromising edge grip and stability, while rocker on the outside forgives mistakes and aids turn lightness.
