Elan GSX Fusion review 2020

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The testers said that the Elan GSX Fusion had the same great qualities as last year’s model but thought this year’s model was a bit easier to use.

Although it is quite accessible, it is not as accessible as the other models in this review. It is the balance of performance and accessibility that is so surprising.

With its 21.2 m radius in the test size, the ski is built for long turns and speed. Turn initiation is precise, edge grip is phenomenal, and turn quality is impressive. In short, the GSX Fusion is a ski with real giant slalom DNA.

The compromise between accessibility and performance makes it a good ski for helping the skier to refine his technique, improve performance, and maybe even start racing.

We recommend the Elan GSX Fusion to advanced to expert skiers who are looking for a high-performance GS-style ski that is still accessible, smooth, and versatile.

Review: Pros

• Great compromise between accessibility and overall performance
• Does not need a lot of effort to make it work
• Precise turn initiation
• Edge grip
• A good ski for learning, can help the skier improve technique

Review: Cons

• Slightly weaker performance than the Dynastar and Völkl
• Less accessible than the Kästle

If crystal clear mornings and freshly groomed slopes get your adrenaline pumping, if speed is your friend and long fast turns are your addiction, if you leave nothing behind but a vapor trail, then the GSX Fusion is the ski for you.
