The Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Black Edition Skis are all about all mountain performance using high-end materials and unique build practices. Sharing the same shape and dimensions as the regular Ripstick 94 Women's, the difference is that the build has changed. The big change comes with the amount and application of carbon used in the ski. They've added two separate carbon rods in the central chord of the ski, with one placed in the forebody, and the second running through the tail. These rods provide 360-degrees of stability and stiffness, providing accurate and precise feedback on the trails. The amazing part is that Elan is able to create this performance level without adding weight. In addition, the Carbon Line Technology that started up this past year on all Ripstick skis is added and extended in the Black Edition skis, with the carbon stretching from edge to edge underfoot and longer through the shovel and tail. This, combined with the extra carbon tubes, makes for an insane about of precision and performance at a fraction of the weight of metal laminates. So you have a ski that performs like it has metal in its build, but thanks to carbon, it's much lighter, livelier and full of endless energy. For advanced ladies looking for the ultimate one ski quiver, look no further than the Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Black Edition Skis.
Rocker TypeAmphibio Profile / Asymmetrical Design – 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.CoreTubelite 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.LaminatesCarbon Line Technology – Amphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. Amphibio Carbon Line technology elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next level by strategically locating carbon reinforcement over the inside edges of the skis providing more power in the turn, while carbon rods inserted into the woodcore maximize weight savings and overall stability. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performance ski with uncompromised versatility and smooth performance.QuadRod Reinforcement – Expanded upon its TubeLite Woodcore, which features two full-length carbon rods placed in the core, adjacent to the edges and the shape if the side cut, by adding two additional carbon rods to the center of the ski, one in the tip and one in the tail, resulting in QuadRod Technology. It delivers next level smoothness and drip, with a natural flex pattern for the perfect blend of playful, yet powerful performance.100% Recycled Vapor Tip Inserts – Vapor Tip inserts are advanced composites that are integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski‘s core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.SidewallsSST 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.Binding CompatibilityWe recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
