Strengths:
Good edge grip, decent flow.
Weaknesses:
Maybe a little loose at the back, but I guess I just haven't gotten used to the ski yet. A bit shady that the model that is listed as 186cm eg is 183.
Summary:
Fantastic all-mountain ski that may lack a bit of width if it gets really deep powder (but then there's the Ripstick 106).

Strengths:
Extremely versatile ski, works well all over the mountain.
Weaknesses:
I don't really have the nice flow in powder

Recommended, you do not really need several pairs of skis to feel comfortable in different places on the mountain

Strengths:
Flexible and make you make them
Weaknesses:
A little impersonal
Summary:
After driving on Ski logic and Santa Ana, I had still intended to go that route but stumbled across a pair of Elan Ripstick and was promised that I would not be dissatisfied. The skis are light but still stable. Quite beautiful and beautiful in his life.

Strengths:
Fairly safe skiing, responds quickly when forced and compliant with large turns in piste.
Weaknesses:
Thought it didn't float completely beside the piste when it was a little deeper snow but totally ok.
The ice grip was like that in my opinion but works with regard to what kind of skiing is.
Summary:
Have now test run this ski for 5 months and can summarize that despite a couple of deviations it is a very good ski in this segment.
If you just have to choose a ski, I must say that this is a first choice.

About the ski: New updated Ripstick with carbon fiber reinforcement on the inner edges and different types of rocker on each edge, which means a right and a left ski. An exciting innovation, remember to just put the skis on the right foot. A freeride ski for skiers looking for a light and versatile ski for all snow conditions.
Moa: - Interesting skiing! It works well in the piste today and has good ice grip. It's hard to say if I feel any difference on the right and left skis. I might be a bit skeptical of this with right and left skis too, you want to save on one edge so you can change the place on the skis if you get a notch on one of the edges. Rating: 4.
Fredrik: - A nice ski! It feels like there is a lot of hype around the technology on this ski. It is difficult to confirm whether it works or not, but it is clearly a ski that can be relied upon when edged. They are not that playful, feel built for an older generation in some way. I would probably say that for older riders looking for a stable freeride ski, Elan Ripstick can be a good alternative. A well thought out and good ski, I could still recommend it. Rating: 3.5.
Olle: - They work well today when it's a little softer than it was yesterday. I don't have much to say. But this technology with different rocker, extra carbon fiber and so ... I don't know. Maybe a better rider would feel some difference. Rating: 4.
Johan: - Definitely a good ski! Easy to go from edge to edge, I like it. It becomes playful carving. There's a lot of technology talk about what's inside the ski and so on, but it's hard to have an opinion about it. It would be fun to explore it more, in off-piste for example. A good ski but it doesn't give a wow feeling ... it's just a good ski. Rating: 4.

Strengths:
Soft before
Powder
Upside down slush
Weaknesses:
Icy surface
Summary:
A classic all mountain with focus on snow.
Ripstick is a versatile ski with many different strengths.
After testing it in every possible bow from ice-hard piste to rain-soaked slush and 30 cm of powder, I have nothing but good things to say about skiing.
On icy ground, it does not show from its strongest side. The softness of the ski makes it feel "flattering" even though you are pushing with proper pressure, but at the same time it may not be where it should perform best.
However, just give it a slightly softer surface and it will be playful and quick. Raised messy ground is no problem with soft knees.
However, where it shines and really shows the front feet is in the loose snow. Witty, playful and with good flow despite his moderate waist for a powder ski. The wide nose, the taper and the softness create a nice surfing feeling.
