Ripstick Tour 104
The main features of the Ripstick Tour 104 are the particularly lightweight construction and a glaring colour scheme. The touring ski was developed in collaboration with skiing pro Glen Plake, who is not only known as an extreme skier but also for his wildly dyed eye-catching mohawk. While the shape of the ski focuses on functionality, performance and efficiency, its radiant colours are inspired by high-mountain sunsets. One special feature of the construction is the carbon bridge technology, in which a single carbon rod is integrated into the ski as a stabilizer, damper and vibration absorber.
Statement by the Jury
What makes the Ripstick Tour 104 so exciting is the unconventional and loud color design as well as the sophisticated construction, which focuses on weight reduction, stability and ski riding fun.
