Ski set containing skis Elan Ripstick Tour 88, bindings G3 Ion 10 Demo 100mm and skins Elan.

The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 is Elan's revolutionary novelty for 2022, connecting both Elan lines for off-piste skiing - lightweight Ibex and legendary Ripstick. The Ripstick Tour thus combines the best characteristics of both mentioned skis, and at the same time boasts an incredibly low weight, as at 163cm and a width of 88mm it weighs only a modest 1275 grams.

A lightweight and reliable touring ski will satisfy even the most demanding touring skiers. The ski will impress you with its extremely low weight when ascending, and with its stability, maneuverability, and reliable grip when descending. Despite the low weight, which is definitely an advantage when ascending, the ski performs excellently even on the most demanding and technical descents. This versatile ski has an asymmetrical Amphibio profile, which combines rocker and camber profile in one ski - camber on the inner edge of the ski provides optimal grip, precision, and stability, while the rocker profile on the outer edge provides easier turning and more pleasure in the fresh powder. The wooden core Tubelite Woodcore is reinforced with hollow carbon rods, giving the ski strength, responsiveness, and the best ratio between weight and riding characteristics. In order to achieve an even higher level of performance, Elan covered the entire surface of the ski with Carbon Reinforcement and designed a unique shape with a slightly raised central part that prevents snow from sticking to the top of the ski.

If the mountains are your second home and the ascent is as important to you as the descent, the Ripstick Tour is a great choice - it has all the qualities you need for an unforgettable ski tour adventure!

The skis come with Elan Ripstick Tour skins, which offer a reliable grip and excellent glide.

Sidecut: 128 - 88- 106

Radius: (170 cm) 17.5 m

Features:

• The Amphibio profile is a unique, revolutionary innovation, combining the rocker and camber profiles. The secret lies in the left and right ski, featuring a cambered inside edge assuring edge grip, precision, and stability with the rockered outside edge for easier turning and more joy in the deep powder.
• TubeLite Wood Core - to create it, 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 sidecut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is an incredible lightweight response and stability.
• Carbon Bridge technology -  a revolutionary solution where a single carbon rod is placed on top of the ski, to provide stability at speed and vibration absorption through the tip in variable snow, without a weight penalty
• Carbon Rods - hollow carbon rods strengthen the ski and provide light and strong responsiveness
• Carbon Reinforcement - a flat carbon reinforcement that covers the entire ski.
• 360° Sidewall for a lightweight power transmission
• The unique shape with the raised central part prevents the accumulation of snow on the surface and thus ensures lightness.
• Elan Ripstick Tour skins included (65% mohair, 35% nylon)
• Weight: 1275 g (163cm)
