The Elan Explore X is an easy-to-handle, lightweight ski that will help beginner and intermediate skiers realize their potential. The profile Elan have chosen to use on the Explore X is Parabolic Rocker. The Parabolic Rocker Profile brings a shorter effective length of the ski edge for effortless turns. The Parabolic sidecut improves carving turns on all terrains and the Front side Stabilizer improves ski stability. This unique Elan formula combining Parabolic sidecut and Early Rise Rocker allows turn initiation at a very low edge angle.
