Ski Elan Ripstick Tour 88 2023
The ski touring world has been waiting for the Elan Ripstick Tour 88. It combines low weight, good flotation, speed, stability, strength, and versatility in one ski. Our freeriders and guides demand absolute perfection, no matter where they are. We have developed this groundbreaking construction to minimize weight while maximizing performance. The ski remains playful and versatile for any terrain. With a center width of 88 mm, it is very light and easy to ride, making it a state-of-the-art touring ski.
Free touring is the trend in alpinism. The combination of light equipment that excels in powder and provides stability in challenging conditions is essential. The Ripstick Tour 88 is wide enough to feel safe on descents and narrow enough to comfortably handle long ascents, making it a multi-talented option in the touring segment. Weighing about 1250 g at a ski length of 170 cm, we have achieved the ideal weight for a touring ski without compromising stability and performance. Together with the 305 g C-Raider Tech binding and the Ripstick Tour 88 skins, we offer a complete package that is not only ultra-light but also convincing and inspiring.
With the integrated Carbon Bridge technology, we have added carbon reinforcements that provide a rounded feel and playful responsiveness. The length of the carbon inserts is designed to minimize vibrations and instability in the shovel. The reduced sidewall design gives the ski a distinctive look and contributes to further weight reduction. Full sidewalls increase edge pressure and contact with the base. With an optimal weight-to-performance ratio, the freeride profile of this ski ensures unforgettable experiences in open terrain, regardless of the conditions.
