Characteristics

Now in its third generation, Ripstick 96 Black Edition has established itself as the cornerstone of Elan's freeride collection. Amphibio Profile delivers the relentless trio of grip, rebound, and manoeuvrability, now with an even stronger and more stable ride. New Carbon Frame Reinforcement combines Carbon Deck Technology's lightweight yet super-smooth platform built with unidirectional carbon bands, with C-Ply Carbon and QuadRod reinforcement for elevated power and response. Additional vibration damping is enhanced by environmentally friendly Flax Fiber placed in a new lightweight 3D trapezoid shape which provides our smoothest ride yet. Whether you prefer a wider footprint for every day skiing at the resort or are looking for premium ride with all-mountain versatility for changing conditions, Ripstick 96 Black Edition is known for turning good times on the hill into great memories.
