Elan Lynx 65 UL
Like the apex predator gracefully napping in many households around the globe, the Lynx 65 UL from Elan may appear unassuming, but make no mistake, it is a tenacious beast ready to pounce at a moment's notice. Resulting from extensive athlete feedback and testing, the Lynx 65 UL features a stiffer demeanor than its predecessor, resulting in greater stability as you chase down your competition. As befits a ski named after a ferocious kitty, the swallow tail has been replaced, leading to an inherently stiffer tail for a locked-in feel. The Titanal Reinforcement Plate provides solid binding retention, while the EST Sidewall has been purposefully engineered to deliver power and precision. With a race-proven design and a winning concept, the Elan Lynx 65 UL will help you gracefully ascend the steps of a podium as your competition coughs up furballs.
- EST Touring Sidewall has been engineered to deliver a powerful and precise ride.
- Titanal Reinforcement Plate offers a secure mounting platform.
- Carbon Reinforcement offers torsional rigidity for fast descents.
- Airlite Laminated Woodcore features air pockets for weight savings.
