The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition cranks up the intensity with a stiffer flex and double the Carbon Rods for a more powerful, hard-charging ride compared to its counterpart. This ski stays rock solid through variable conditions, delivering confidence at speed while maintaining the Ripstick’s signature agility. If the standard 102 feels a little too tame, the Black Edition brings the heat with extra precision, stability, and a whole lot of attitude.
