Product Info

In a family of great all-mountain skis, the Elan Ripstick 86 Skis stands out as the model best suited for women who spend the vast majority of their time shredding prepared slopes but allows for fresh snow adventures on a sweet 4 to 6 inches of overnight feathery pow. Easy to coax into the turn but extremely precise, the Ripstick 86 is one of the best-balanced all-mountain skis out there and suitable for a wide range of abilities.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Amphibio® ProfileElan's unique design uses distinct "Left and Right" camber profiles - camber on the inside edges and rocker on the outside ones. The result is power and precision on the more heavily weighted inside edge with easier pivoting and smoother turn transitions on the outside edge.

Core

Tubelite WoodcoreTo 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.

Laminates

FiberglassA fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fibers are positioned either above or below the ski core and improve the ski’s structural integrity.

VaporTip InsertsStrong and dynamic Tubelite woodcores are paired with lightweight composite Vaportip inserts in the tip and tail of the ski to lighten swing weight and reduce vibration, dramatically improving the ski's ride qualities.

Sidewalls

SST SidewallThe SST Sidewall Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.

Additional Features

TNT TechnologyElan’s unique TNT technology is a combination of innovations that provides the best balance of light weight construction with power and performance. The core of the TNT Technology is the Tubelite Wood Core with carbon rods along the edges of the ski, combined with Vapor Tip Inserts. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performance ski with exceptional power, cushioning and stability.

Climbing Skin Notch at Tail

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
