Elan World Cup, 2016/17

Elan World Cup

This winter we have divided the eight-model range for racers into a range for adult racers and a range for junior racers. The three adult models consist of the two FIS models for giant slalom and slalom and a master model for giant slalom. The World Cup models comply with the prescribed dimensions of the FIS (International Ski Federation) and are aimed at racers and those who want to be. The Master model is less classic in its technology and freer in its dimensions, which is why it is more adapted to individual needs of racing ski enthusiasts. All models have in common: fast, efficient, high quality, grip and created for fast use on the slopes.

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.

Conventional (Camber)

The profiles have edge contact from the shovel to the end of the ski. This allows maximum edge grip, stability and power transmission over the entire length of the ski. No rocker!

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.
