The award-winning Ripstick 96 Black Edition returns ready to hammer hardpack and charge through choppy snow, with power, agility, and smoothness.
Now in its third generation, Ripstick 96 Black Edition has established itself as the cornerstone of Elan's freeride collection.

New Carbon Frame Reinforcement combines Carbon Deck Technology's lightweight yet super-smooth platform built with unidirectional carbon bands, with C-Ply Carbon and QuadRod reinforcement for elevated power and response. Additional vibration damping is enhanced by environmentally friendly Flax Fiber placed in a new lightweight 3D trapezoid shape which provides our smoothest ride yet.
