The Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Black Edition Skis with Bindings is premium ski and binding combination for women who are looking for pinnacle of heigh end, all –mountain performance. At 94-millimeters underfoot, this width is the true sweet spot for versatility all over the mountain. Groomers, steeps, trees, powder and bumps, the Black 94 Women's really has no weakness. With the same shape and dimensions of the regular women's Ripstick 94, the major difference is the build in the Black edition. The main difference between the two is carbon, and you get a full extra sheet in the build of the Black Edition. Elan also used carbon in what they call QuadRod construction. The two Carbon Rods along the edges are still there, just like the regular 96, while the Black Edition gets two additional rods in the center of the ski, one in the forebody, and one in the aft section of the ski. This results in significantly more carbon than the normal Ripstick 94 W, which is reflected in the price and of course the performance. The edge grip and confidence they provide from this addition of carbon takes the skis to a whole new level. Advanced and expert skiers looking for the pinnacle in all –mountain performance in the Elan line should look no further than the Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Black Edition Skis with Bindings.
