Elan Ripstick 108 Skis 2026 size 189

evo.com | Elan Skis > Elan expands the width offerings of the Ripstick series this season, debuting the Elan Ripstick 108 Skis for a bit more float and a more serious big mountain demeanor. The construction starts much as the proven Ripstick 106 with a TubeLite Woodcore reinforced with Carbon Rods, but they've added Flax Fiber to make the ski damper without saddling it with more weight. The result is remarkably powerful but still playful freeride excellence that should be better suited to deeper days and bigger descents. 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. Carbon Deck Technology A construction using Elan's TubeLite Woodcore, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, and Flax Fiber in a carefully prescribed layup for a combination of power and versatility We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 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. | Elan Ripstick 108 Skis 2026 - 189
