The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition Skis are a new width for the hard charger all-mountain set, with more carbon and more guts, just like you like it. With a stiffer flex and twice as many Carbon Rods planted in the core, the 102 Black Edition feels stronger and more lively underfoot and stays planted through tough conditions with confidence. If you think the regular Ripstick 102 is too mellow for your tastes, the new Black Edition is like throwing a few habañeros on your burger; the extra heat is palpable.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Amphibio Profile  The Amphibio profile 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.

Core

Tubelite Wood Core  To create the TubeLite Wood Core, 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 side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Laminates

Carbon Deck Technology  A construction using Elan's TubeLite Woodcore, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, and Flax Fiber in a carefully prescribed layup for a combination of power and versatility

QuadRod Reinforcement  Four carbon tubes are built into the wood core for lightweight and powerful rebound.

Carbon Frame Reinforcement

Fiberglass  Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fibers are positioned either above or below the ski core and improve the ski’s structural integrity.

Sidewalls

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

Base

Sintered UHMW Base

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
