Description
Description
The Elan Ripstick Black Edition 96 is an all mountain ski designed for versatility and all around performance. Perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers to make the most of off-piste conditions in Australia and softer snow conditions overseas.
The Black Edition of the Ripstick 96 is reinforced with Quad Carbon tubes, 2 extra over the Regular Ripstick 96 and layer of carbon to stiffen the ski and increase its power. The Black Edition is a strong ski for strong skiers.
For the 24/25 season, Elan have made some important changes to the construction and shape of the Ripsticks. They have shortened the radius the side cut, altered the lengths and softened the tip/tail. The combination of the changes is a ski that we are really impressed with. They are more manoeuvrable in tight spaces and manage cruddy snow better than previously.
The Ripstick 96 is backed by some amazing technology. The Skis are asymmetric and feature Elan's Amphibo rocker profile. This means that inside edge is more cambered whilst the outside edge is more rockered, the difference is only subtle but in conjunction with extra carbon reinforcement on the inside edge makes these off-piste focused all mountain skis rail incredibly well on groomers as well.
We love the Ripstick collection as capable '50/50' or even dedicated touring skis. Pair them up with a touring binding of your choice and let the lightweight & versatile Ripsticks take you deep into the mountains.
