Product description — Ripstick R4 Sx

The Elan Ripstick R4 Sx men’s ski is an all-mountain model designed for skiing on various snow conditions with a predictable ride. It remains responsive enough for the groomed runs and retains its maneuverability when you head off-piste in search of softer snow.

What are the key features of the Elan Ripstick R4 Sx ski?

Its 84 mm waist width gives it a versatile profile—fast enough on edges without becoming too narrow when the terrain gets rough. The classic camber provides good support underfoot on firm snow. Its Dual Woodcore ensures natural and responsive handling, while the directional shape promotes precise forward control. It’s ideal for use on the piste, off-piste, and in transformed snow.

Who is the Elan Ripstick R4 Sx designed for?

This ski is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to explore more of the mountain with a versatile model rather than a ski limited to groomed runs.

What are the main qualities of the Elan Ripstick R4 Sx ski?

Versatility

Maneuverability

Responsiveness

Does the Ripstick R4 Sx perform well in light powder?

Yes. The Early Rise rocker at the tip helps lift the front of the ski and makes it easier to change direction in loose snow.

Does the Ripstick R4 Sx require wide turns?

No. Its multi-turn performance allows you to vary your turning radius depending on the slope, speed, and available space.

What bindings come with the Ripstick R4 Sx?

It comes with Elan EL 10.0 GW Shift B85 bindings.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

After using our calculator, you can explore further with our guides (depending on your skiing style):

And to see the method in action, here’s our video tutorial (example focused on piste / all-mountain skiing, with useful benchmarks whatever your style).

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

At glisshop.co.uk, you’ll find one of the most comprehensive ski selections available online. To choose the right pair, start with three simple criteria: your ability level, your preferred terrain (piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, touring), and your budget.

To refine your selection, several options are available:

  1. The advanced search tool: located at the top of each category page, it allows you to filter by brand, skill level, discipline, and more. By combining these filters, you can quickly narrow down the range and easily find the models best suited to your skiing style.

  2. Contact us on 020 3129 3301: a pair of skis is a technical piece of equipment. Before placing your order, it’s best to make sure the model truly meets your expectations. Our team is here to advise you.

To go further and understand the differences between ski types, take a look at our comprehensive guide 'Which skis to choose?'.

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.

Setting the release value of your bindings is a major safety issue.

In order to fully function and ensure safety, your bindings need to be set according to the Afnor FD S 52-748 standard. We wrote down a guide to help you find out the release value matching your needs.

When buying a pair of skis, you will have to complete a form asking for your measurements. Please complete it with the most accurate information: it will allow our technicians to adjust precisely your bindings and lower down the risk of injury.
