PRIMETIME 55
Fast edge changes, precise grip and an energetic turn exit.
Dual Ti
two Titanal layers
PowerMatch
asymmetric power distribution
The Elan Primetime 55 ranks among the brand's most precise carving skis. Its narrow waist enables exceptionally quick edge changes, while PowerMatch distributes material and power according to the different roles of the inside and outside edges. The dual-density wood core is firmer on the more heavily loaded side and lighter where the ski needs to respond quickly. Two Titanal layers add composure, strong edge grip and energy at the end of a turn.
Who are these skis for: advanced to expert skiers who prefer groomed pistes, an active pace and precisely carved turns. The model demands sound technique and rewards deliberate edge pressure.
How Amphibio works through a turn
The PRIMETIME 55 uses different construction for the left and right skis. They form a side-specific pair, with inside and outside edges that play different roles through a turn.
Inside edge · camber
Precision and strong edge grip
Longer contact with the snow helps the ski hold its line and stay stable under heavy load.
Outside edge · rocker
Easier turn initiation and edge change
The relieved profile makes turn initiation easier and helps the ski roll smoothly onto the other edge.
What you will appreciate
Rapid edge-to-edge transitions
The 69 mm waist responds quickly, letting you change the rhythm of short and medium carving turns precisely.
Firm support and energetic rebound
Dual Ti and denser material along the inner edge add stability, grip and energy at the end of the turn.
Precision with natural handling
PowerMatch combines a powerful inside edge with a lighter outer section for more intuitive turn initiation and line tracking.

Construction and its benefits
The individual components work together to determine the ski's precision, stability and energy through turns.
PowerMatch Technology
Firmer construction near the inside edge puts support where the ski is loaded most, while the lighter outside section keeps handling natural.
Dual Density Woodcore
Denser wood on the loaded side supports stability and rebound, while the lighter section cuts weight and makes direction changes easier.
Dual Ti + RST Sidewall
Two Titanal layers keep the ski composed at speed, while the sidewall transfers pressure straight to the edge for stronger grip and energetic turn exits.
Plate and binding system
The Fusion X system with Elan EMX 12.0 GW bindings supports direct power transfer and natural ski flex. The DIN range is 3.5–12; a qualified technician must set the bindings.

Elan je slovinská značka s tradicí od roku 1945, která patří mezi technologicky nejvýznamnější výrobce sjezdových lyží. Výroba dodnes probíhá ve Slovinsku a zajímavostí je, že přibližně 95 % použitých materiálů pochází z okruhu do 150 km kolem továrny, což pomáhá udržet vysokou kvalitu a kontrolu nad výrobou.
Značka je známá svými inovacemi, například technologií Amphibio, která kombinuje rocker a camber a přináší lyžím snadnou ovladatelnost i dobrou stabilitu. Elan zároveň klade důraz na moderní design a promyšlenou konstrukci.
U dámských modelů nejde jen o jinou grafiku. Řada W Studio vzniká jako samostatný vývoj a dámské lyže mají upravenou geometrii i ladění konstrukce, aby lépe odpovídaly stylu a potřebám lyžařek.
Elan tak nabízí technologicky vyspělé lyže s velmi dobrým poměrem cena/výkon, které si oblíbí rekreační i sportovní lyžaři.
