Elan World Cup, 2015/16

Elan World Cup

Uniform in color and for the most part identical in concept, the 8 models are designed for the racer who needs to call up the highest performance. The range consists of 3 giant slalom models, 3 models for juniors and 2 slalom models. Powerspine technology, Amphibio Rocker, Dual Ti and Response Frame wood core, all technologies have the same goal: maximum edge grip, super easy turn initiation, minimum effort, maximum speed, maximum performance. The two FIS models are thereby aligned with the measure of the FIS.

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.

Response Frame Wood Core

The Response Frame wood core is a unique and innovative tip-to-tail laminated wood core, for direct power transmission and optimal torsional stability, thanks to the combination of a hardwood frame with a softer wood core.

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.

Fiberglass

RST

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