TEST: Elan SLX, the best of Slovenian home!

Step into a shop and ask for the model is Elan SLX: the shopkeeper will light up the eyes, is the model of the house Slovenian selling more in Europe. But how are you?

That model is

:
The model is a slalom carver, or a ski with measures similar to the slalom race, but with more human hardship. The Elan SLX advised to take the fairly low, and a man between 175cm and 180cm 160cm recommend the measure. This choice, which is that the test is apt because it allows to exploit the peculiarities dell'SLX always fun.

Elan SLX is a ski that will entertain the third since the curve that you will do with this skis. It is very responsive and very easy and swift reversal, takes you to push more and more on the accelerator, keeping the arc of a curve mid-strait. Not only you shall press more than he will follow you, but you'll also be surprised by how the structure is able to adapt to the changing nature of the land, compensating for the lack of SL typical of the breed: smooth and great on hard and unmanageable on the ground moved. The structure

Waveflex Technology dell'Elan SLX instead manages to absorb the roughness of the terrain without burdening the carvata: the blades will not always cut and you lose the rhythm. How's

:
As anticipated a few lines ago, in his daily bread can give their best. The corner entry is fast, stable and easy. The generous sidecut dell'SLX will help to direct the tips toward the fall line to start to curve and everything is done with incredible ease. The seal on the hard

is enviable: never a skid or a slip is not calculated on soft ground is always easy to hold the bow of the ideal curve, without sinking into the ground softer. After two turns of adjustment you will be able to lighten the foot and not notice the change of terrain.

closed curve is just as quick and simple, only the tail appeared slightly more rigid than the spatula, but this should not be seen as a disadvantage: supports and assists in the (often) inevitable setbacks center of gravity.

forcing the pace and taking a ski racing, with rhythmic curves and always the same, the Elan SLX responds to best, ensuring tightness and precision. Eventually this becomes tiring skiing, but no demerit of skiing. In

wider turning radius can give almost the same satisfaction that the curves more congenial to him. It is obviously more difficult to conduct with arcs from GS since the turning radius very small, but fun carving corners are widely tolerated, even in some parts of the track is wide and not too steep it is almost tempted to change the ' arcs and "lie down" in the snow. For those

:
audience that is suitable for this ski is extremely broad. Turns out to be easy and fun not only for those who have excellent command of the ski run and the edge-edge, but also in light of those developments. The old-style skiers will in any case well because, unlike other slalom carver, does not become unmanageable in the sliding and skidding on steep, indeed favors the skiing is not perfect and makes you feel safe.

The verdict:
Skiing is promoted with honors. It is versatile, fresh, or you do not jump, but that is exactly what you buy and you wonder how to react in the medium to large arcs.

Ultimately it is a ski that, if chosen in the right measures, you have fun in almost all weather and track conditions.
