Product Summary
The Elan Ripstick 116's full retail price is €749.95. The Ski costs roughly €70 more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. Results in the category 'Edge hold' were less convincing. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Ripstick 116 is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 185 and 193cm.
