Description
The Elan Wildcat 83 Black Edition is a high-end set, and the mentioned binding, Shift X ELX 11.0, confirms that it is sold as an integrated system.
1. The Ski: Wildcat 83 Black Edition
As mentioned before, this is the high-end, lightened version of the 83 mm, incorporating carbon fibers for maximum performance on the slope and great liveliness.
2. The Turning Radius (Radius)
The turning radius for the Wildcat 83 Black Edition is the same as the standard 83 Ti, as the shape and dimensions (geometry) of the ski do not change, only the internal composition is improved (with carbon).
| Ski Length | Turning Radius (Radius) | Interpretation |
| 146 cm | approx 11.7 meters | Short turns |
| 152 cm | approx 12.6 meters | Short to medium turns |
| 158 cm | approx 13.5 meters | Ideal radius for medium and fast turns |
| 164 cm | approx 14.4 meters | Stability for long turns |
| 170 cm | approx 15.3 meters | High-speed performance |
The radius of approx 13.5 meters for the most common size (158 cm) is perfect for a ski that wants to carve with precision while being stable enough not to be too nervous across the entire ski area.
3. The Binding: Shift X ELX 11.0
This is the system binding (rail-mounted) provided with this set:
Shift X: Indicates that it is a lightweight and tool-free binding system mounted on an integrated rail, allowing for easy adjustment of the sole length.
-
ELX 11.0: Indicates the DIN adjustment range: DIN 3 to 11.
-
This is a range suitable for advanced to expert female skiers (who ski fast and/or are heavier) and who need good boot retention so the binding does not release in situations of high pressure or speed.
GW (GripWalk): These bindings are generally GripWalk (GW) compatible, ensuring compatibility with modern alpine and GripWalk soles.
-
In conclusion: The Wildcat 83 Black Edition with ELX 11.0 set is a high-performance, agile, and safe configuration intended for expert female skiers who seek excellence and agility on the slopes.5
