evo.com | Elan Skis > Take a proven winner and make it even smoother and more confident on chattery, hard snow and you've got the Elan Ripstick 96 Skis. Keeping the Amphibio profile, TubeLite Core and Carbon Rods that made the previous version a success and adding UD Carbon and Flax Fiber makes this great ski that much better. 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. 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. Amphibio Profile / Asymmetrical Design 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. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. | Elan Ripstick 96 Skis 2025 - 168
