Elan SLX Fusion review 2015

AWARD
Best Accessibility/Performance!

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

This year, Elan confirms the quality of its product. Less specialised than the Omeglass, it’s an excellent slalom ski that combines performance and accessibility. The ski can be used every day on all kinds of terrain. The ProSkiLab team highly recommend it for medium to expert skiers who want to enjoy a very dynamic ski that doesn’t need much effort or technical skills.

Review: Pros

  • Very good performance overall
  • Turn edge grip amazing in short and long turns
  • Easy to handle
  • Easy transitions between carves/skids
  • Forgiving when it comes to positioning mistakes

Review: Cons

  • The reviewers noted a slight loss of pressure at high speed and in very dynamic turns

Manufacturer's remarks

The Elan SLX Fusion is a slalom ski for pure precision ski enthusiasts. Incorporating technologies such as the Powerspine, RST sidecuts, a Laminated Woodcore and the Dual Ti (double titanal sheet), the Ripstick offers precision, grip and stability at all times. With the Fusion bindings system, the first fully integrated bindings system in the world, the Ripstick offers a softer flex which makes the edge to edge change easier, for a really playful ski that doesn’t lose one ounce of its precision.
