The Elan Ripstick women's series with Amphibio Carbon Line technology offers the solution for all ambitious female freeriders. The Ripstick 88 W is the entry-level model in the renowned Ripstick universe. It is the link between on-piste and off-piste - a true all-mountain ski.

Inheriting the tech pedigree from wider Ripsticks, it’s equally confident off piste as it is on groomers or invariable crud at the end of the day. Optimizing Elan’s unique Amphibio profile this narrower 88 mm Elan Ripstick is agile, smooth and easy to ski.

The secret lies within the innovative Amphibio Carbon Line Technology for a snappy and lively feel while the SST sidewalls complement the TubeLite wood core for direct transmission of power edge to edge.

Features:
• Carbon Line Technology
• SST Sidewalls
• Tube Lite woodcore
• Carbon Rods
• Vapor Tip Inlays
• Fibreglass

Carbon 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.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fiberglass is positioned either above or below the ski core and improves a skis structual integrity.
 

VaporTip Reinforcement
Vapor inserts are advanced composites 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.

Carbon Rods Reinforcement
Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

TubeLite Woodcore
I would take these babies out where I really enjoyed the additional power, they offered on the ski down. I could turn up the dial quite a bit as I laid out each turn and I felt confident to take more aggressive lines than I typically would ski touring on lighter touring skis. The technology upgrades and subtle design refinements have enhanced all the qualities that made the Ripstick 102s already a super fun ski. Now instead of skiing groomers well the 102s rail on groomers and the power offered through the geometry of their asymmetrical Amphibio design is noticeably more thanks to the rigidity offered by the carbon inserts. 

SST Construction
The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.

Carbon tubes inserts
Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
