Elan Race: Almost as fast as a racer

This winter, the range has been shortened by the model "Ripstick Fusion", otherwise, apart from the colors, everything has remained the same. There is also not much to change, because the carving models work perfectly, after all, much of the technology comes from the racing department, only the Fusion systems replace the racing plates here. This guarantees a high-performance ski for the slopes, aimed at sporty skiers. Copied from the professional models and converted for the ambitious recreational skier.

Amphibio

Elan is the only major ski manufacturer to use an asymmetrical rocker. The outer edges of the ski are rockered or slightly more curved at both ski ends, while the inner edges have a classic preload or no rocker. The inside edge provides maximum edge grip, while the outside edge facilitates turn initiation.

Powerspine

This refers to a new racing technology that Elan is developing. The arc-shaped construction along the ski distributes the forces better and provides more stability and torsional stiffness. New, the ski has been reinforced with an additional carbon insert along the entire ski.

Laminated wood core

This wood core extends from the tip to the tail of the ski and is designed for each model and length. Different types of wood in various combinations allow individual adjustments to the needs of each model. The stable wood core transfers power very directly to the edge.

Dual Ti

A titanium layer is inserted above and below the wood core for reinforcement. This makes the ski stiffer and better edge control and power transmission are the result.

Mono Ti

A titanium insert over the wood core increases torsional stiffness and reaction speed.

RST

Vertical sidewalls that provide optimal edge grip and transfer power directly to the edges.

Fusion

All Amphibio models feature the Fusion ski binding system, It improves power transmission to the ski edge and ensures a harmonious ski flex and fast turn initiation.
