Ripstick 96 Black Edition 2027
All-mountain skis - Men -
The Ripstick 96 Black Edition 2027 is an all-mountain men's ski from the Elan brand, designed for advanced skiers seeking the perfect balance between responsiveness and smoothness across all terrains.
Its construction is based on a Tubelite Woodcore, a laminated wood core reinforced by two ultra-light carbon tubes that provide exceptional torsional rigidity and powerful rebound. This innovative architecture reduces weight while ensuring excellent stability and a progressive flex ideal for an advanced level.
The Ripstick 96 Black Edition 2027 is equipped with Quadro and Carbon Frame reinforcements, as well as a layer of natural flax fibre that dampens vibrations for a smooth and precise ride even at high speeds. Its robust sintered base and edges optimised thanks to the SST – Slanted Sidewall Technology offer remarkable grip and manoeuvrability on hard snow as well as off-piste.
This versatile ski promises outstanding float and agility, allowing you to fully enjoy every turn and all snow conditions.

| FLAX FIBRE | A layer of natural flax fibre is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralise vibrations and oscillations, providing a smooth ride at high speed and in variable snow conditions. |
| TUBELITE WOODCORE | Laminated wood core incorporating two ultra-light carbon tubes running the full length of the ski. This construction offers excellent torsional rigidity and powerful rebound, while reducing the amount of material in the core. |
| CARBON RODS | Lightweight carbon tubes inserted along the full length of the core, parallel to the sidecut curve, optimise torsional stiffness and rebound. The result is a ski that is lively, stable and light. |
| UD CARBON STRIPS | Unidirectional carbon strips are strategically positioned along the edges of the ski to improve torsional stability. This results in a more responsive and agile ski without adding weight. |
| SST – SLANTED SIDEWALL TECHNOLOGY | SST construction ensures fast, agile and direct power transmission from the ski to the snow, while offering exceptional torsional rigidity. |
| AMPHIBIO TECHNOLOGY | The most advanced asymmetric ski design, influencing both the profile and construction of skis dedicated to the right and left foot. |
