evo.com | Elan Skis > The Elan Ripstick 106 Skis are so good you'll be saying "I love you," before the end of the first date. Adept at both short and long radius turns on anything from boilerplate ice to knee deep pow, these all-mountain tools aren't picky about where you take them, and with all new Carbon Line Technology for increased power through the turn, they're snappier than ever. I now pronounce you, Ripstick and Ripper. 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. 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. | Elan Ripstick 106 Skis 2024 - 172
