Skis ELAN ELEMENT 78 RS LS with bindings EL 10.0 GW SHIFT 24/25

Stable and responsive skis for confident carving

ELAN Element 78 RS 2024/2025 are designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to improve their carving technique and enjoy stable, precise, and confident skiing. A solid, yet forgiving construction provides reliable control on groomed runs and in somewhat variable snow conditions.

The width under the boot varies with ski length between 75 and 78 mm, providing an excellent balance between agility and stability. The skis allow quick transitions between edges, smooth turn transitions, and a calm ride at medium to higher speeds.

The WaveMotion technology uses a wavy construction that enables easier longitudinal bending of the skis while maintaining good torsional stability. The result is simpler initiation of turns, more efficient power transfer, and better edge grip.

The wooden core Dual Woodcore enhances stability and power transmission. Two wooden supporting elements on the outer edges of the core provide reliable grip, balanced bending, and predictable response in various snow conditions.

The EST Sidewall construction allows for a more direct energy transfer to the edges and increases stability throughout the turn. The profile Early Rise Rocker with a slightly lifted tip makes it easier to enter a turn and enables smoother transitions between edges.

A high-quality sintered base ensures good wax absorption and durability. The Elan Element 78 RS is therefore an excellent choice for skiers seeking carving skis for groomed runs with good grip, stability, and a forgiving response for all-day use.

Skis with bindings

THE SKIS INCLUDE ELAN EL 10.0 GW SHIFT BINDINGS with a DIN range of 3–10.

Bindings EL 10.0 GW Shift provide an efficient link between the ski boot and ski and reliable energy transfer. The acronym GW means the bindings are compatible with boots using the GripWalk sole.

The Light Shift (LS) system keeps the setup light, ensures a balanced position on the skis, and allows adaptation to different boot sole lengths.

Technologies

WaveMotion Technology

The wavy design of WaveMotion enables easier longitudinal bending of the ski while maintaining the necessary torsional stability. This helps the skier start the turn more easily, with edges staying reliably in contact with the ground.

Dual Woodcore

The wooden core Dual Woodcore uses two symmetric wooden supporting elements on the outer edges of the ski. The construction improves energy transfer, stability, and edge grip while maintaining friendly handling.

EST Sidewall

The extended sidewall construction enables more direct energy transfer to the edges. The result is better grip, greater stability, and more precise guidance of the ski through the turn.

Early Rise Rocker

The slightly raised tip allows easier and smoother entry into the turn. The profile reduces the chance of edge catch and eases transitions from one edge to the other.

Sintered Running Base

The sintered base provides good wax absorption, reliable gliding, and greater durability in various snow conditions. For optimal performance, regular servicing and waxing are recommended.

Light Shift

The Light Shift system creates a light and balanced connection between skis and bindings. It enables efficient energy transfer, easy binding adjustment, and less tiring all-day skiing.
