Tech Specs
For skiers wanting to bet on black with no gamble, the Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition is a no-compromise all-mountain ripper that won't weigh you down. Packed with cutting-edge technology and an eye-catching stealth bomber graphic, the latest addition to the Ripstick lineup will stoke out the pickiest freeride athlete.
The Ripstick 102 Black utilizes a unique asymmetrical core layup known as Amphibio. The right/left specific cores feature carbon reinforcement that beefs up the ski's inside edge while maintaining a more compliant flex on the outside edge. Combined with the Tubelite Poplar/Pawlonia core laminated with Flax, you'll have a lightweight and responsive ride that begs you to put the pedal to the metal.
Tipping the scales at 1720g in the 182cm length, the Ripstick 102 Black is one of the lightest skis in the category. Additional carbon rods in the core filter vibration at higher speeds, creating a ski that feels planted and stable at the highest speeds while staying torsional to resist deflection in chop, crud, and wind/sun-affected snow. The Ripstick 102 Black Edition is a ski that works coast to coast in all conditions.
