Elan's Left Right Ripstick Skis Explained

Описание: Elan Ski Rep Rob Ruhl breaks down the innovative design, on-snow performance, and engineering reasoning behind the asymmetrical left and right skis of the Elan Ripstick. Unlike traditional symmetrical skis, the Ripstick features a dedicated left ski and right ski, purpose-built to enhance turn initiation, edge grip, and overall control. Rob says it's like power steering in your car.

At the heart of the Ripstick is Elan’s Amphibio® Technology, which combines camber and rocker profiles within each ski. The inside edge of each ski is cambered for powerful edge grip, stability, and bite when carving through the turn. Meanwhile, the outside edge features a rocker profile that allows the ski to release more easily, initiate turns smoothly, and avoid fighting the transition into the next turn.

This unique camber-on-the-inside and rocker-on-the-outside construction delivers a ski that feels intuitive, precise, and confidence-inspiring, whether carving groomers or navigating variable all-mountain terrain. Rob explains how this asymmetrical design improves performance for skiers by working with the natural mechanics of turning rather than against them.

Learn how Elan’s Amphibio Technology sets the Ripstick apart and why dedicated left and right skis can elevate your skiing experience.
