2027 Elan Ripstick 84 Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Elan Ripstick 84 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the narrowest ski in the line, built for resort skiers who want something quick, light, and easy to live with. It carries the Carbon Deck construction of its siblings, but with a shape and flex tuned for groomers and improving skiers rather than off-trail charging. We paired the Ripstick 84 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The light swing weight is the real win at this width. The Carbon Deck build keeps it energetic and responsive without ever turning punishing, so it stays genuinely fun for skiers still finding their technique while keeping enough in reserve to entertain stronger ones.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced skiers who ski mostly at the resort and want a versatile, easy-handling ski that helps them improve. It is a great fit for anyone building skills who wants a ski that works with them rather than against them.

Highlights:

The 84 breaks from the rest of the line in two ways that matter at this width. First the shape: instead of the Amphibio profile, it uses an Early Rise Rocker, lifting the tip just enough for easy turn entry while keeping camber underfoot for grip. Second the flex, where a dual-wood layup over the Tubelite woodcore makes it softer and more forgiving than the wider models. An 84 mm waist keeps it light and quick, just what you want from a ski that lives on the groomers. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This is a frontside ski first. It can dabble in softer snow and tight terrain, but if you are chasing storm days or skiing mostly off-trail, move up to a wider Ripstick. The softer flex is ideal for progression, though very strong skiers may find it a little underbuilt.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It sizes true to length, with a little room to tune it. Improving skiers can drop a touch for even easier handling, while stronger skiers can go up for more stability.
