evo.com | Elan Skis > The Elan Ripstick 102 Skis hit the sweet spot for width, flex and user-friendly personality that make them one of the most popular all-mountain choices around. Elan's proprietary Carbon Deck Technology employs Carbon, Flax and special Carbon tubes to add longitudinal flex and energy inside the core, and the result is spectacular. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 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. 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.
