Here is an overview on the latest Elan Ski ranges for 07/08:
Magfire Series:
Having established its reputation as a true high performance all-mountain ski series, the Magfire Series is reinforced even further this time around with the involvement of freeskiing legend and Mohawk specialist Glen Plake.
Designed and developed to put a smile on the faces of skiers of varying abilities, the versatile and powerful nature of the Magfire Series is what really sets this special series apart. The skis represent a passport to the whole mountain, from perfectly groomed slopes to icy couloirs right through to champagne powder fields.
With so much cutting-edge technology sitting behind the Magfire Series, it’s no surprise that the likes of Mr. Plake choose these skis over any other. The newly-introduced Magfire 14, as well as the Magfire 12, even boasts Elan’s revolutionary WaveFlex Technology in 0708, enhancing maximum versatility on and of the slope. The Magfire Series also includes Fusion – Elan’s integrated ski binding system delivering dynamic edge-to-edge responsiveness.
Speedwave Series:
The Speedwave Series is truly changing the course of skiing. Winner of the prestigious 2006 European Ski Award at Winter ISPO 2006, this revolutionary line of skis has been specifically developed for high performance on-slope skiers. Redefining the meaning of precision skiing, the Speedwave Series delivers speed and stability in equal measure – in both long and short turns.
Powered by Elan’s ground-breaking WaveFlexTM ski construction technology and boasting a new Isometric top sheet for 0708, the Speedwave Series offers skiers a softer flex pattern while also empowering the ski with more torsional stiffness. That, ladies and gentlemen, means these skis deliver exceptional edge hold and skiing precision in both long and short turns, even at the highest of speeds.
W Studio Series:
The W Studio was created by Elan Skis with the sole aim of driving the progression of women’s skiing. Providing female skiers with bespoke, female-specific ski technologies and innovations, the W Studio is doing just that. Under the expert guidance of former World Cup winner Urška Hrovat and former freeskiing champion Kim Reichhelm, the W Studio has focused on satisfying the diverse and complex needs of female skiers the world over.
It is this in-depth understanding of skiers and the sport itself has paved the way for the unrelenting research, design and delivery of superior skiing equipment for women of all abilities.
The W Studio’s collection for 0708, featuring two separate ski series, has been developed with a variety of style needs in mind, and is redefining the meaning of technological innovation and versatility. Lightweight ski construction is supported by a female-friendly Reflex Sidecut and flex pattern, while ultra-responsive edge-to-edge handling provides the skier with unforgettable sensations on the mountain.
Freestyle Series:
Elan’s line of freestyle skis for 0708 promises to pen the plot for the next chapter of freestyle skiing’s remarkable evolution. Researched and developed in parks and pipes all over the world, the M Pro Freestyle Series needs to be skied to be believed. On the graphic design side of things, we see real urban flavors mixing beautifully with ‘Da Vinci Code’ elements to produce a line of skis the look just as good as they perform on the snow.
With four different models within the M Pro Freestyle Series, there’s a match for freestyle skiers of all abilities and persuasions.
Freeride Series:
For Elan Skis, the sport of skiing is another form of expression, and a very special one at that. With the whole mounting acting as a painter’s canvas, skiers can paint their own shapes and forms – and draw their own lines down the pristine powder fields.
Designed and developed by some of the most experienced and progressive minds working in the ski industry today, the versatile, all-mountain M Pro Freeride Series has been tried and tested by professionals right through to mountain guides. Design-wise, you can rest assured that the skis will look the business when they’re not covered by a light dusting of powder snow – the 1111 Quad One even features a Slovenian design dating back more than 500 years, adding a real touch of pure class.
Comprising three exceptional models, the M Pro Freeride Series ticks every box for powder junkies and skiers with a freeriding spirit that refuse to compromise when it comes to getting their fix on the mountain.
