Ripstick 88 Skis size 2026

evo.com | Elan Skis > Frontside stalwarts the Elan Ripstick 88 Skis get some updates, starting with more sizes (the break is now 7cm rather than 8cm), a revised sidecut meant to enhance stability at speed, and extra Unidirectional Carbon and Flax Fiber in the layup. The new skis are indeed calmer and more composed at speed, but without sacrificing Elan's trademark effortless turn initiation. If you're seeking a frontside carving machine that doesn't exhaust your legs before noon, the new Ripstick 88 might just be the ticket. Sintered UHMW Base 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. Climbing Skin Notch at Tail 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. 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. | Elan Ripstick 88 Skis 2026 - 161
