Elan Delight Supreme review 2017

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Delight Supreme well deserves its name: riders with few technical skills will love it. The easy rotation and stability of pressure in skid turns make it particularly reassuring. The reviewers noted the ski's superb comfort and the fact that it glided the terrain smoothly, requiring little physical engagement.
On the other hand, like the Flair SC, the model is not very adaptive. It's less happy when carving and at high speed when its limitations become pretty obvious. Rides become fuzzier and there is far less stability.

The Delight Supreme is an excellent initiation ski that we recommend for beginners to intermediate skiers.

Review: Pros

  • Exceptional accessibility
  • Easy rotation
  • Happy making skid turns
  • Reassuring
  • Needs a little physical engagement

Review: Cons

  • Less at ease in carved turns
  • Lacks stability when the pace steps up

Manufacturer's remarks

The Delight Supreme is designed for riders who like to ski the whole mountain. We used light materials to reduce the weight of the skis, as well as the SlimShape Technology which helps to make the ski lighter, while keeping it very stiff thanks to carbon tubes along its whole length.
