evo.com | Elan Skis > Take the proven Ripstick 106 and add a centimeter in width, and presto, you've got a pure powder weapon that still performs with the smooth and nimble personality you've grown to love. Elan uses the same Tubelite Woodcore and Amphibio profile, but with more rocker at both ends and a wider platform, the 116 is designed to eat powder for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Sintered UHMW Base 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. 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. 100% Recycled Vapor Tip Inserts Vapor Tip inserts are advanced recycled composites that are integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski's core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions. | Elan Ripstick 116 Skis 2024 - 177
