Intro

The Ripstick Tour is Elan's main touring line. The women's models include the 88 and the 94, the latter being the more versatile of the two. As with all Ripsticks, it's made with Amphibio technology, with a left and a right ski. The system works well, but keep in mind that should you damage an edge out in the backcountry, you can't then swap your skis around. This is a responsive model suited to all types of snow and feels secure even at high speeds. Construction and tech are the same as last season.
