The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 is the ski the touring world has been waiting for. Light, lively, fast, stable, robust and versatile - this ski combines all these characteristics. In the area of free touring, the current trend in alpinism, it is crucial to have lightweight equipment that is convincing in powder and remains stable in variable conditions. The Ripstick Tour 88 hits the mark with its 88 mm waist: it gives you confidence on descents and is narrow enough to enjoy long, comfortable ascents.
At around 1250 g per ski in the 170 cm length, we have achieved the optimum weight for a touring ski without sacrificing downhill stability and performance. The carefully designed CARBON BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY integrates a carbon rod reinforcement that concentrates the ski's energy and ensures a smooth ride with playful rebound. The length of the reinforcement is precisely dimensioned to reduce vibrations and tip tip wobble.
The reduced sidewall design not only gives the ski a unique look, but also reduces weight, while full sidewalls increase edge pressure and contact. With its freeride profile and shape, the Ripstick Tour 88 is the perfect combination of weight and performance for all skiers and all conditions in the backcountry.
Experience the perfect symbiosis of lightness and performance with the Elan Ripstick Tour 88 - your ultimate companion for unforgettable touring adventures.
