Fusion System
The Fusion System is the world`s first integrated ski binding system, paving the way for faster turn initiation and enhanced edge to edge responsiveness. Wth this intraglide system, Elan brings the binding system into the ski, not onto the ski. The binding is fixed into the ski by two free gliding plates which are connected to the ski at one middle point. This allows the binding to float naturally during the flex of the ski. By integrating a rigid intraglide metal chassis into the ski, the Fusion Sytem transmits the skier`s energy where it is needed most, directly inside the ski. The result: a fully free flex, meaning well balanced edge grip and smooth turning.
Express Torsion System
A patented energy control system designed to transfer energy from the skier to the ski. Pressure bars made out of elastomer material force pressure to the edges. The result is increased eddge hold and improved control throughout the entire turn.
PST Sidewall Technology
Vertical sidewalls for maximum edge grip along the full length of the ski and direct power transmission to the edges at high speed.
Corelock Woodcore
The Corelock Woodcore is shaped like a triple chassis that is `locked` inside the ski and runs from tip to tail. The Corelock Woodcore chassis is connected with load bearing materials that together form a torsionally stable shape for optimized edge hold while still keeping uniform ski flex for easy handling of the ski in all conditions.
