Thinking about long days in the saddle, big vert, and multi-day excursions? Time to think about a sub-90mm touring setup, and the Elan Ripstick Tour 88 Skis tread the fine line between light and "right" as well as anything in the book. Built around Elan's unique Tubelite Wood Core which mates specially chosen light woods with two embedded carbon rods, and incorporating Elan's Amphibio profile (there's a dedicated left and right ski), the Ripstick Tour 88 is the ski you need for those big objectives beckoning in your future.
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.
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 Bridge Techology – A single carbon rod is placed on top of the ski, to provide stability at speed and vibration absorption through the tip in variable snow, without a weight penalty.
360° Sidewall – Pyramid shaped sidewall material is positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, increasing high speed stability and vibration absorption.
