The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 W was developed for female tourers, with the aim of the outstanding downhill performance of a freeride ski and at the same time the fraction of the weight for an energy-saving ascent.

The entire series was designed from the ground up with the intention of maximizing performance without losing focus on the functionality required for pleasant ascents. In order to unite these two worlds, we developed the Carbon Bridge technology; a revolutionary innovation in which a carbon tube is integrated on the ski. It not only increases stability at high speeds, but also absorbs vibrations in the shovel, especially in changing terrain, without making the ski heavier.

The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 W comes with a universal waist width of 88mm and is therefore suitable for all types of terrain and conditions. With him, the boundaries between high performance and lightweight construction are blurring. The perfect mix of downhill performance and efficient ascent properties. The Ripstick Tour 88 W gives you everything you need for your next ski tour.

Technology

Carbon Bridge 
Carbon Bridge Technology, is a revolutionary solution where a single carbon rod placed on the upper part of the ski, provides stability, dampening, and vibration absorption through the tip.

360° Sidewall
360° Sidewall is a unique and effective sidewall solution to maximize performance while keeping the weight low. Pyramidal shaped sidewall are positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, to increase vibration absorption and high-speed stability.

Amphibio Profile
Amphibio technology 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.

Tip-to-Tail Laminated Woodcore
This tip-to-tail Laminated Woodcore is specially shaped for each model and size. Using different wood types in various combinations allows for the adjustment of the flex pattern for different types of performance. This extremely responsive and highly durable wood core transmits power directly to the edges and excels in a variety of conditions.

Carbon
Carbon is a lightweight and strong material that provides additional support and reinforcement in the part where needed the most.

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.

+  Marker Alpinist 8 Binding

The ultra-light pin binding Marker Alpinist 8 offers active length compensation during ski flex and an impressive power transfer downhill due to a 38 mm drill pattern.

The carbon-reinforced toe provides great stiffness and comes with anti-ice pads and integrated elastomers for easy stepping in. The heel features a climbing aid with 0°, 5° and 9° angle and allows super convenient switching between hike and ride mode.

Very practical: Alpinist allows a +/- 7,5 mm heel adjustment to suit various sole/boot lengths!

Details:
• DIN Range: 3-8
• Rec. driver weight max.: 110 kg
• Front jaws: PinTech
• Step-in heel: Alpinist Heel
• Possible length adjustment: +/- 7,5mm

Length Adjustment
Alpinist heel offers a 15 mm heel adjustment range (from -7.5 mm to +7,5 mm). 

Climbing Aids Alpinist
Neutral walking mode and two climbing aids offering 5° and 9°. The fast shift mode enables quick shifting between 0° and 9° without the need to rotate the heel.

Anti Ice Pads
Anti Ice Pads in the base of toe and heel (if no brake is installed) to prevent icing in critical areas

Carbon Reinforced Toe & Heel
Carbon reinforced toe and heel material for improved strength and reduced weight.

+ Elan Ripstick Tour Skins

Specially designed to perform with the Elan Ripstick Tour skis, these skins offer the best grip, glide, and attachments for smooth ascents and transitions.

A universal, lightweight tip hook for quick, easy and secure fitting of skins to the Elan Ripstick Tour skis. The compact Hybrid Skin technology from the tip to tail to prevent snow from getting in-between the skin and the base of the ski.
