The SLX Fusion from Elan has continually done well in the PROSKILAB™ selection over the years. Although it hasn't changed much, it still gets good ratings from the reviewers for its responsiveness and its playful performance.

In effect, with a rocker and a radius of 12.4m in the size reviewed, the ski stands out for its incredible agility combined with top-flight performance. It's a real jewel... Read on

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... Read on

The Ripstick ski makes freeride accessible to even the least skilled riders thanks to its exceptional handling qualities.

Off-piste, the ski is immediately reassuring. It covers all terrains and its exceptional agility will reassure less experienced skiers, always anxious about braking when rotating. You don't need to have the technical skills of Candide Thovex: the ski rotates without effort, even in crud... Read on

The Insomnia from Elan is pretty well placed in this PROSKILAB™ selection. The reviewers liked the ski for the overall enjoyment it gave and its user-friendliness.

Overall behaviour is very good when carving and in skid turns. Grip is strong and the ski is remarkably stable for such a light model.

Accessibility is excellent, helped in particular by easy and intuitive turn entrance. Its overall... Read on
