Amphibio technology
This was something new for me. Elan have always been an innovative ski company, but it seems they may have struck gold with this design back in 2017. The idea of this technology is to combine advantages of normal skis with those that have a rocker profile. How does it work? Its simple, your inner edge has a normal chamber, while the outer edge is rockered for easier turning. This also calls for the need to have a left and right ski.
When turning your weight should be always on the inner edge of the ski that is facing down slope, in this case that is your normal chamber edge. This type of edge gives the best grip and control and carries you throughout the turn. But all that grip isn’t really needed on your outer edge. That’s where the rockered edge comes in. It’s has a different profile that makes less contact with the snow (imagine the foot of a rocking chair), than the normal edge. This allows for an easier transition between turns at the cost of grip. Combine the two and you have the best of both worlds. Easy turning with lots of grip.
Or as Elan would put it: camber + rocker = amphibio
Waveflex
Traditional skis have always needed to compromise flex stiffness and torsional stiffness. With a softer ski it’s much easier to initiate turns, but small bumps and high speeds can through you off. That’s why professional racers have really really stiff skis.
With the Waveflex technology Elan have been able to combine the best of both worlds. The core of the skis is wave shaped and this allows the ski to have a softer flex, while maintaining torsional stability. This, along with the amphibio technology allow the ski to start a turn with minimum effort, but can still hold an edge at high speed turns.
Elan also claims that this system reduces the ski’s weight by 15%, but we didn’t have a chance to confirm this.
