In most cases lifters are a must less effort, better power transmission and more carve feeling. The smart answer from Elan is the Integra the revolutionary integrated platform underneath the topskin. Lifter and ski are one unit, ower transmission and dampening are optimized.
Rubber s dampening characteristics reduce vibrations to a minimum.
This mass concentration under the foot smooths the feeling to the skier. Elan External Plates are made out of rubber with titanal inserts. Our Integrated Plates are made out of rubber and synthetic inserts. The patented Integrated Dampening System from Elan transfers vibrations from the top laminations through the ski to the bottom laminations prior to reaching the foot. This absorption system is integrated into the construction of the ski and capped off with a titanium insert.
