Dynastar Speed Elite review 2020

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

Last year's "Best Ski", the Dynastar Speed Elite has been dethroned this year by a more versatile and consistent model.

However, it does remain a top level ski and with slalom in its DNA, it will keep skiers in the forefront when it comes to performance. Turn initiation, grip and drive through the turn are all without reproach. The Speed Elite deserves its name: it's sporty, lively and "responsive".

Made for short turns, it is also capable of increasing radius and is at ease when gliding through large turns at higher speeds.

This ski does however require a certain level of technique. Its rigid tail and grip make it less comfortable and consistent when sliding or skidding.

The Dynastar Speed Elite is a "very good ski which requires technical skill". It is aimed at strong skiers who can master carving turns and are looking for agile performance.

Review: Pros

• Overall performance
• Highly responsive
• Suits short turns
• Excellent grip and performance in the turn
• Solid, supportive ski

Review: Cons

• Slightly grippy on the tail which spoils the turn exit and skids
• Requires a certain level of technical ability
