Elan Ripstick 108 Touring

Whether skiing big lines at the resort or in the backcountry, the Ripstick 108 floats over fresh snow, charges through crud, and rips hardpack reliably. Designed with epic days in mind, Ripstick 108 proves that achieving superior floatation doesn´t have to come at the expense of confident edge grip and stability. Elan´s patented Amphibio Profile combines powerful rebound and edge hold with effortless float and maneuverability while game-changing Carbon Deck Technology with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon bands strategically placed along the edges form a solid platform that delivers superior response. An additional layer of natural vibration damping Flax Fiber is placed in an all-new 3D shape to level the terrain ahead. Whether you´re looking for a freeride powder ski that holds on hardpack, or a backcountry rig disguised as a resort ripper, this is the perfect tool for skiers that seek the elusive blend of light-weight power and crave top-notch float and trustworthy grip to charge in big mountains and deep snow.Features:- Best Soft Snow Performance- Best Flotation- Smooth Turn Entry and Exit- Trustworthy Edge Hold- High Speed Stability- Powerful Rebound & ResponseSpecifications:- Radius: 18.8- Tip Width: 141- Waist Width: 107- Tail Width: 121- Ski Weight (g/ski): 1725Technology:Carbon Deck Technology:- Carbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.Flax Fiber:- A layer of natural Flax Fiber is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralize vibration and chatter, providing a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions.Tubelite Woodcore:- To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run 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.Carbon Rods:- Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.UD Carbon:- Unidirectional carbon bands are strategically positioned along both edges of the ski to create torsional stability which produces superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight.Sintered Running Base:- The special ultra-high molecular weight running base delivers excellent durability and superb gliding performance in variety of conditions.SST - Slanted Sidewall Technology:- The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as
