The Elan Ripstick 96 Ski comes matched with the Attack 14 GW Binding, so the ski's carbon and flax-damped power always has a binding built to hold it down. The Amphibio profile grips hardpack while staying nimble in soft snow, and the FR Pro toe piece keeps power transfer precise from the moment you step in, even in deep powder. A 4 to 14 DIN range and NX FR heel resist pre-release, so the ski's reserve stays usable instead of outrunning the binding underneath it. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I stepped into these bindings standing in fresh powder and never fumbled the entry, then skied hard enough afterward that I expected to feel the binding hesitate. It didn't, it just held through every turn."
