These things are massive...161 shovel. They're heavy and straight up kill people. Can't wait to mount them. Any suggestions for some wide ass bindings?



184 cm / 20.2 m

161 / 121 / 141

Dag yo...those are sick looking, definitely for shralping the fresh pow gnar. Look at a Sallie binding, but not a low-end one, I'd go s916 if you're core enough, haha.

Come to think of it though...I've got a set of Rossi Axial Race 140s (pivot style) with brakes I custom bent that would fit these rather nicely. Check out my thread or PM me if you're interested.

All the Elan race skis and M series are top notch, not to mention the M1111s are special edition and handmade.

anyone who thinks elans can't stack up are foolish. What you think the only tech they have is for rental ski's. Don't be a dipshit.

I dunno what all these fools are talking about, I bet these things will be sickter in the pow man. I mean yeah, Elan makes rental skis, but fuck... what company doesn't? Our entire rental fleet at the hill I work at are Rossignol, but guess what, tons of people swear by Rossignol skis. Wise up people, every company has different classes of skis for different uses, same with cars and most everything else made for a consumer market.

why the hate on elan? armadas were made at the elan factory, 4frnts are made there, and other companies too.

299 for nice powder skis is a steal.

There's a whole story printed on the ski about the painting. Its a fresco called the "Dance of Death" in Slovenia to answer that dudes question.

SICK! I was the first in Canada to ski those by the way :D. I skied them in spring slush but shit they felt so solid underfoot.

And all you guys bashing Elan, I don't blame you because that's what I used to think but they make some sick skis. The M02 is the nicest park ski I've ever owned - yes, the third edge is a total gimmick but they are so solid. Elan makes reantal skis? Guess what else they make... ARMADA.

they were stiff to begin with, but really softened up towards the middle of the season, to the point they were softer than my t-halls. They were a really durrable ski, but a but on the heavy side. People say Elan sucks,but over half of them havent ridden an Elan ski. They are really solid, fun, and durrable skis.

Rossi/Look wide brakes are 120mm so just bend those out a little. I had some really wide Salomon ones a while ago that looked about the same. Elan/Tyrolia do make a really wide binding that fits but I had a very bad experience with Elan 14's on my old M02s so I wouldn't recommend them.

If you're going for a Tyrolia binding, go for a FF+17 or whatever the equivalent is now. The Mojo still has a lot of plastic as far as I know. I had Elan 14's (Tyrolia) on my M02s and I ended up being able to kick my toe out vertically with very little effort. The Elan rep said he'd had the same thing happen to a few pairs of his own. Plus the heel track gets loose on most Tyrolias.

Yea dude, just get a look/rossi binding, or a salomon 9 series, and don't worry about it. You could buy a tyrolia or head binding if you wanted to but why? Just get a look/rossi or solly and know that you made a sensible purchase. Bend the brakes a bit, done.
