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.
Amphibio 4D technology
Amphibio 4D technology is completely new and is made possible thanks to the use of molded titanium. We combine a Response Frame wood core and double molded metal with the Amphibio® profile to provide unmatched all-mountain versatility and edge precision.
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 tip-to-tail laminated wood core is specially designed for each model and length. Different wood types in different combinations allow the best solution for each application. This stable and durable wood core transfers power directly to the edge and offers tremendous versatility.
Trulite wood core
Lightweight, women's specific tip-to-tail wood core, made from carefully selected wood species. Perfectly suited for ladies models.
Dualite wood core
Lightweight and durable wood core made of two wooden struts and a lightweight synthetic core. This construction improves power transmission and edge grip, while the ski remains easy to control.
Monolite wood core
A lightweight synthetic core with a uniquely thin profile. The lower core density has less weight and provides a harmonious flex for easy steering.
Supralite wood core
New core made of Airex for less weight and optimized flex distribution.
WaveFlex
Never before has a ski construction allowed the independent optimization of flex and torsional properties. The distinctive wave profile allows a soft flex, while maintaining high torsional stiffness for maximum performance in the snow.
WaveLight
Waves allow a soft flex and at the same time high stability. Due to the wave shape, the ski can be built thinner and lighter.
Express
Designed for optimal transfer of energy from the skier to the ski. The patented Express technology provides improved edge grip and ensures maximum stability.
Full Power Cap
A particularly forgiving, lightweight and easy to ride design.
Mono Ti
The responsiveness of the ski is increased by a layer of titanium on the wood core and also provides smoothness and torsional stiffness.
RST
Vertical sidewalls that provide optimal edge grip and transfer power directly to the edges.
Fiberglass
Above or below the wood core, fiberglass optimizes the properties of the ski and provides a harmonious flex and good torsional stiffness.
