Technologies:

• The unique elans TNT technology combines innovative solutions, delivering a design that achieves the perfect balance of low weight, power, and speed. The core feature of TNT technology is the Tubelight Wood core, reinforced with carbon fibers along the edges, paired with lightweight Vapor Tip inserts at the tips. This results in super lightweight skis with outstanding performance — incredibly strong, excellent vibration damping, and stability.
• The amphibio profile is a game-changing design. With amphibio skis, weight distribution is managed along the entire length of the inner edge for precise control, fantastic edge grip, and stability, while the outer edge features a rocker shape, giving the skis a forgiving character, making them easy to control and ensuring a smooth turn initiation.
• The SST sidewall design enhances responsiveness and allows direct force transfer from the ski to the slope, alongside remarkable torsional stiffness.
• The TubeLite wood core is a lightweight laminated wood core that incorporates carbon fiber tubes. These 5 mm diameter tubes run the length of the ski, mirroring the curvature of the sidecut, providing torsional stiffness and strong rebound while minimizing core volume. The outcome? Incredibly lightweight, responsive, and stable skis.
