The RIPSTICK 88 from ELAN, is a perfect balance between versatility, agility and performance.
With the technical innovations of the brand, the Amphibio profile combined with the Mountain Rocker, it is easy to handle, agile, fluid and comfortable. The TNT technology and STT Sidewall construction make this ski light and stable for more confidence and reliability.
Performing on piste and with good off-piste behaviour, this all-round ski allows you to alternate fast descents on piste and passages in softer snow.
A logical choice both on piste and off-piste.
Features:
- TNT technology: a combination of innovations that provide the best balance between lightness and performance. The very essence of TNT Technology is its Tubelite Wood Core with carbon tubes on the sides of the ski, combined with the Vapor Tip inserts. The result is a ski extremely light and powerful, powerful and stable.
- Amphibio profile: a revolutionary ski design that integrates a rocker and camber in a right and left ski. The Amphibio provides a ski with a camber on the inner edges for precision, grip and stability, while the outer rocker allows for easy turning while forgiving more.
- STT Sidewall construction: provides a fast transmission of the ski on the snow while providing very good torsional rigidity.
- Tubelite Wood Core: two very light carbon tubes have been inserted into the laminated wood core. Measuring 5 mm in diameter, these tubes run the full length of the ski along the arc of the edges. This provides more torsional stability and more rebound power by reducing the core materials. The result is an incredibly light and stable ski.
- Fiberglass reinforcement: optimizes the flex and increases the torsional stiffness of the ski. The fiber is placed below and above the core of the ski and increases the ski's stiffness.
- Vapor Tip: inserts are integrated in the tip and heel of the ski core. They reduce weight and vibration and increase stability for an agile ski even in the most demanding conditions.
