evo.com | Elan Skis > Love the Ripstick 106, but want something with a little more guts? The Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition Skis add twice the number of carbon rods in the core and Carbon Line mesh in select areas of the tip, tail and mid section of the ski to the same Amphibio profile to produce a ripping ride with better edgehold and more straightline stability - perfect for hard chargers who want a versatile and nimble ski that can still be turned loose with confidence when the chips are down. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Sintered UHMW Base 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. SST (Slanted Sidewall Technology) 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. | Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition Skis 2024 - 172
