Elan’s WaveFlex technology that uses a series of waves in the construction to allow flex and torsion to be engineered independently is continued. Modern skis turn by bending and the wavy structural element in WaveFlex allows the ski to bend easily without twisting easily. Consequently the ski bends well but is torsionally rigid so it grips as it should.
The high performance Speedwave and Magfire collections are now merged and simplified under the Waveflex banner.
