Elan GSX Fusion review 2019

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The GSX Fusion from Elan is preselected every year for the PROSKILAB review and is unquestionably one of the safest bets on the market. It frequently comes close to the top spot on the podium.

The ski is very much performance-oriented. With excellent edge grip and remarkable stability, the ski is amazing in long turns. Once the turn is initiated, it has incredibly solid edge hold and never seems to want to let go.

You’ll need a certain amount of technical skill and physical strength to drive this ski properly.


Review: Pros

  • Good overall performance
  • Excellent stability
  • Good edge grip
  • Proficient in long turns

Review: Cons

  • A technically and physically demanding ski
  • Less intuitive and accessible than the Speed Master or the Hero Master
