Wingman 78C PowerShift Skis

About the Elan Wingman 78C PowerShift

The Wingman 78C is part of Elan's all-mountain ski range, a premium set of skis designed to offer a unique blend of performance and smoothness. The Wingman 78C is a directional ski using a blend of carbon and wood to for strength when performing carves but reducing the overall weight and energy used to move the ski. The Wingman 78C has an integrated EL 10 GW shift binding with powershift technology. This a system that will provide direct energy transmission ensuring quick turn initiation and power throughout the turn

The Wingman 78C utilizes Elan's "Amphibio" technology which dictates how the inside and the outside edge of the ski perform in order to create a precise and smooth turn experience. Amphibio Trueline construction strategically places the material in some regions of the ski, more structural material is placed across the inside edge, providing stability, while less material is placed over the outside edge making for a smooth ride and easier turn initiation. The Amphibio profile blends rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. This unique profile features a camber on the inside edge ensuring subline grip and precision, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness.

A Power Woodcore is which uses a poplar that is vertically connected to laminates, providing a uniform flex throughout the length of the ski. To increase torsional strength and responsiveness carbon is used within the construction. This ensures the ski is lightweight but provides enhanced edge hold and strength.

With the lightweight construction and 78mm underfoot the Wingman 78C is ideal for the intermediate-advanced rider looking for a reliable carver that can hit fast groomers and cruise at lower speeds.
