The new touring version of Elan's hugely popular Ripstick freeride skis.
The RipstickTour 88 ski isbuilt to blend high performance at a low weight, for the perfect mix ofdownhill performance and efficient climbing ability. Conquering long ascents andchallenging descents is the name of the game.
Ripstickskis featureElan's Amphibio Technology - this is a clever use of different camber and rocker profiles on the inside and outside edge of the ski. The inside edge gets a longer camber profile for increased grip and precision, whilst the outside edge gets more rocker to give forgiveness and easier turn initiation. Thismeans that there is a left and a right ski - so don't get them mixed up - you can really tell the difference when you do!
The 88mm waist makes this RipstickTour 88super versatile and at just 2.5kg per pair in 170cm, they compare favourably with other modern lightweight touring skis of similar dimensions.
Combined with a lightweight pin binding, the ElanRipstickTour 88 will suit people who want a versatile touring ski setup for both single and multiday tours, that can also be usedoccasionallyin resort.
