Ripstick Tour 88 Touring Skis 25/26

<p data-start="337" data-end="683">The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 is aimed at ambitious ski mountaineers who want to make every gram count on long ascents - but don't want to compromise on the descent. With its tour-specific construction, this ski combines high efficiency on the ascent with impressive stability on the descent.</p> <p data-start="685" data-end="1024">The slimmer center width of 88 mm ensures a particularly low weight and precise edge behavior - excellent for technical terrain, narrow couloirs or hard snow conditions. At the same time, the ski's Early Rise Rocker at the tip and tail offers enough versatility to remain confident in changing snow conditions.</p> <p data-start="1026" data-end="1312">At the heart of the ski is the Tubelite wood core with carbon reinforcements. The result is a direct, reactive flex with excellent damping - for control and skiing fun even in demanding conditions.</p> <p data-start="1314" data-end="1557">The Amphibio construction with asymmetrical profile also ensures precise turn control on the inside edge and forgiving behavior on the outside - a real advantage on longer routes with tired legs or on technical descents.</p> <p data-start="1559" data-end="1833">With its low weight (2,420g per pair at 170cm length), high stability and cleverly designed geometry, the Ripstick Tour 88 is the perfect partner for classic ski routes, long ascents or quick training laps in the backcountry.</p>
