About Elan Amphibio 4D technology
Elan Amphibio 16Ti Fusion offers a revolutionary Amphibio 4D technology
which makes it one of the most exciting and innovative all mountain skis on
the market. Amphibio 4D is the latest innovation from Elan R&D. It is an
upgrade of the award winning Amphibio technology which combines camber
and rocker in the same ski. Camber assures greater edge grip, while rocker
allows faster and more direct turns. With Amphibio 4D additional attention is
paid to the front and rear part of the ski, which are designed differently, each
of them having its own function. The convex front provides more precise turn
entry, while the concave rear guarantees the dynamic exit from the turn. The
use of Dual Shaped Titanium increases torsional stability, reduces the
vibrations by 30% and helps bringing down the weight of the ski.
All that makes Amphibio 16 Ti2 Fusion an ultimate machine for any kind of
groomed snow conditions. It could run down the slope in long giant slalom
turns or it could do dynamic slalom curves. With its all black graphics and
green sidewall it is an elegant and aggressive eye catcher.
