A Black Edition Ripstick 106 was in high demand after the power of Black Edition was unleashed on its narrower counterpart, the Ripstick 96. Without hesitation, the 106 has taken to the carbon Black Edition upgrade; assuming all its power, confidence and versatility. As a ski designed for those exploring all that the mountain has to offer, the addition of light, stable carbon materials and a sleek all-black carbon finish enhances the look and feel of Glen Plake’s choice sticks. Packed with all of our best technologies, like Tubelite Woodcore, Vapor Tip Inserts, and Amphibio profile, the Ripstick Black Edition floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
- Rocker Type
- Amphibio Profile – The Amphibio profile is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip, and stability while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.
- Core
- Tubelite Wood Core – To create the TubeLite Wood Core, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run along the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
- Laminates
- Carbon Line Technology – Amphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. Amphibio Carbon Line technology elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next level by strategically locating carbon reinforcement over the inside edges of the skis providing more power in the turn, while carbon rods inserted into the woodcore maximize weight savings and overall stability. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performance ski with uncompromised versatility and smooth performance.
- QuadRod Reinforcement – Four carbon tubes are built into the wood core for lightweight and powerful rebound.
- 100% Recycled Vapor Tip Inserts – Vapor Tip inserts are advanced recycled composites that are integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski‘s core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.
- Sidewalls
- SST Sidewall Construction – The SST Sidewall Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
- Base
- Sintered UHMW Base
- Binding Compatibility
- We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
