evo.com | Elan Skis > The bestselling Elan Ripstick 88 Skis undergo some design tweaks for the new season, with slightly reduced sidecut in all sizes aimed at making the ski more stable at speed and UD Carbon and Flax Fiber added to the layup. "Less hooky" and "more lively" are both good things for a ski that already was hugely popular as a frontside weapon among women in the know. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Sintered UHMW Base 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. Amphibio 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. Emulating the distinct design of the hybrid Shift bindings but with a new, lower and lighter LDN alpine toe, the Salomon Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings drop weight and get you closer to the snow for better snow feel, power transmission, and response. Compatible with both Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles, the new Strive 12 GW sets the standard for lightweight precision. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Low Profile Chassis A low stand height improves your feel for the terrain and enhances power transmission to the ski. Automatic Wing Adjustment Adapts automatically and easily to your boot width and height. It also keeps release values constant for worn out boots. LDN Toe (Low, Direct, Neutral) Low center of gravity places the binding closer to the ski for better response and snow feel. 3 Part Heel Light Low profile design with lighter construction | Women's Elan Ripstick 88 Skis 2026 - 175 Package (175 cm) + 90 Adult Alpine Bindings in Black Size 175/90
