evo.com | Elan Skis > Take the hugely successful Ripstick 96 and put it on a training regime, and you've got the Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition Skis. With four Carbon Rods instead of two and beefed up Carbon Frame Reinforcement adding up to increased stiffness and torsional flex, the 96 Black Edition enjoys an aggressive personality that jumps out at you in each turn. 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. Carbon Deck Technology A construction using Elan's TubeLite Woodcore, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, and Flax Fiber in a carefully prescribed layup for a combination of power and versatility 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. Automatic Wing Adjustment Adapts automatically and easily to your boot width and height. It also keeps release values constant for worn out boots. Low Profile Chassis A low stand height improves your feel for the terrain and enhances power transmission to the ski. 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 | Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition Skis 2027 - 182 Package (182 cm) + 100 Adult Alpine Bindings Size 182/100
