Elan Amphibio Waveflex 14 review 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Amphibio Waveflex 14 already scored well last year. This year, it takes second place in the rankings. This particularly well-blanced ski, with a focus on accessibility and comfort, corresponds well to the Advanced programme criteria. We strongly recommend this model for average to good skiers looking for a fluid and comfortable ski over and above pure performance.
Review: Pros
- The Amphibio Waveflex 14 is an all-round ski that globally performs well, is versatile and particularly enjoyable in wide radius turns and on soft snow. It is especially easy and confortable to use, and can be enjoyed by everyone. It's behaviour is remarkably effortless and safe, with no(bad) surprises, giving the riders plenty of confidence.
Review: Cons
- The ski is good because it's so flexible, but this also limits its performance.
