Quadrod runs four carbon rods through the Tubelite wood core instead of two, and a C-Ply carbon layer through the mid-body firms up the section under the binding, on the same 129-94-109 mm shape as the standard W Ripstick 94. Weight holds at 1,500 g per ski at 168 cm across five lengths from 147 to 175 cm, so the extra stiffness arrives without the extra mass a metal laminate would cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv

question is not what length but how much ski you want at that length. The stiffer carbon layup needs pressure to bend, so a skier between two lengths who skis fast should take the longer one, and a lighter skier who is happy at 154 cm on the standard ski should stay at 154 cm here rather than move up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eElan pairs the W Ripstick 94 Black Edition with an Attack LYT 11, and any brake from 95 mm to 110 mm clears the 94 mm waist.

The four carbon rods and the C-Ply carbon layer change how the ski resists twisting, not what it weighs.

The Amphibio Profile is asymmetric, cambered on the inside edge and rockered deeper on the outside edge, so each ski is built and marked for one foot.
