Elan Ripstick 96 testski's incl attack 14 MN

The Elan Ripstick 96 is a freeride test ski that comes complete with Tyrolia Attack 14 MN bindings. Built to tackle varied terrain, it offers a blend of stability and agility for riders who split their time between groomed runs and untracked snow.

With a 96 mm waist width, the Ripstick 96 strikes a balance between flotation in soft snow and firm edge grip on harder surfaces. Its 136/96/110 profile provides a stable platform at speed while allowing quick turn initiation, and an 18 m radius delivers a versatile, medium-arc carve. The Attack 14 MN binding ensures solid power transfer and customizable release settings, and at 1650 g per ski it’s light enough to make uphill approaches feel less strenuous without sacrificing downhill control.

Radius refers to the turn arc a ski naturally follows when tilted on edge—an 18 m radius means the Ripstick 96 excels at medium-radius turns, giving a mix of responsiveness and steadiness. The tip/waist/tail dimensions indicate the ski’s taper: a wider tip boosts float in powder, the narrower waist speeds up edge-to-edge transitions, and a broader tail supports strong release and drive through each turn.
