Strengths:
Stabila as the end. Goes like rails regardless of surface. Just put on edge if it's icy. Even in a hurry it goes really well, through the ramparts without bouncing. Floats well in loosnö, and also works on kartongsnö.

Weaknesses:
Do not agree that they are soft and slippery, due to poor technique. Entered 4th place in Derbyt in Riksgränsen in total, and then I drive with telisbindings. So especially clever they are not !!!

Summary:
A complete ski for Nordic and Continental climate. Works well in piste thanks to long swing radius and flowing cannonbra in fluffy waistcoat pads. A really good ski that will not disappoint you!

Riding style: Aggresiv rider
Length on the ski: 184 cm
Riders weight: 70 kg
Riders length: 183 cm

Strengths:
A really good allround ski. Great for Swedish conditions if you want a ski that works both inside and outside the piste.

Weaknesses:
Can sometimes be perceived to be too soft and clumsy when it runs a bit.

Summary:
A good and nice ski that I used for Telemark!

Riding style: pist offpiste
Length on the ski: 184 cm

A very good and easy-going ski. Great for the entire mountain. Before my Elan Mantis 777 I went on a pair of Head Supra 10.4 with a 65mm waist width. Before I tested my Elan for the first time, I thought it would be a huge shift from a pair of ski slopes to a pair of skis that are best suited for off-piste, but so wrong I had. The skis are very lightweight and work best in the long run. Much due to the radius 26.1 m.

A good and relatively cheap ski for those traveling on the whole mountain

Strengths:
Doing a telis on this ski is good, cut through scissors, slash, you name it, good mobility in pillows, nice ice grip (iofs you have to work a bit). A perfect skiing for Nordic mountains. If you get them on the edge, which is easy, they will only get stiffer the faster you drive.

Weaknesses:
No.

Summary:
Best telis ski I drove.

Riding style: Powder-piste

Strengths:
Soft and lightweight, good telis ski.
Fits well to Swedish offpiste.
Somewhat lightweight with something wide to be comfortable to ride on.

Weaknesses:
Bad ice grip.
Well soft when it goes really fast and / or is hard and beaten.

Summary:
Found a couple of begun Elan mantis 777 this spring as I might go for a week in total. A hood!
Experience the skid as soft and easy-going. A superb ski for Swedish offpiste. Works of course in the piste but the ice grip is not the best. That can be due in part to my soft boots that flex more than desirable laterally.
Plus at the edge of the twintip, there is no jibber but the back end does not get stuck as easily as you can get stuck in the woods.

I have not been to Telemark for so long (depart from most of the time) but have gone more alpine. Remember that I compared with my previous telislagg which was a pair of Volkl P40 (the red?) Which unfortunately are quite battered.

Riding style: Good telisskida, allround offpiste
Length on the ski: 184 cm
Riders weight: 86 kg
Riders length: 188 cm

Strengths:
A layer that works everywhere. Good speed stability

Weaknesses:
It has a racing coat which is a bit softer than usual, which meant that after 3½ months in France you had the right fat scratches that you would not get on a regular coat. Then I also managed to bend one skid so it became an immature banana...

Summary:
apart from that, I think it was a really lovely ski to go with in the spring when it was very sloppy, one of the funniest things to go! not because it's like pillows, but it's okay so damn fun if you have good skiing!

Riding style: powder

OH MY GOD!!!
Aer numer resident in VAncouver and just got home after skiing in Whistler. After a long period of mild weather, now the snowy eagles had fallen into whistler and I was going to test my new Mantis 777. The conditions varied between ice pist, soft pist, puckle (hard / soft) nice losno, windpacked losno ... well, really without a lack of crowds. First of all, I have to say ...... WHAT GOLDEN !!!
I like to drive quite fast, long swings mostly, but at least shorter sometimes, of course I'm always looking for more o loser sno. Or sometimes steep answer parties, some nice hope, I may not hale on with trick o terrain park said goodbye but, of course, I like most of it. HOW WAS IT ???
The first thing I had to do was that in all eagerness, I was chasing out a fine steak like a word out of order, I dropped in a row, obviously unloading the bindings, o I was able to drill my day looking for skis, but I am going to cancel the alignment, said most praised. In losno I had no problem getting flowable, for me like some old school skis o getting a job (like working my job) said it was like saying on the autopilot. But the ski was quick to answer, I pushed a little more. In the wind-packed losnon said it was basically the same, I think, rather, that my own experiences are still the limitations. In the piste? What a wonderful ski. Have a short monster 85 o experiencing that pretty thing, but Elan immediately got a lot of "Travelers" Very nice to lie o push in long nice swings, if I'm going to be aerial, I did not find any difference if there was ice or snow in the piste, never cautiously said, "I'm safe for ice cream. In the puck it was not as simple as the skis I used to be short, but on the other hand I chose the 184cm, I only e 180cm long, weigh 68kg, some shoppers said I'd have 176nd others said 184, I guess that's because what you want it if I might have to chill more in narrow narrow corridors o puckel I had a short time with 176an but because my knees do not allow puckles on the same set as 10 years ago I said it was longer. Of course, should it give me better lifting in pillows ... or? Never saw the ski as long as ever. But it was clear that there had been a ski that was 180 if I had chosen it. What else can I say .... hoping for it, the little twintip makes it possible to land fejki, which I can not pasta that I do yes, but that's what it said was good. Still thought it was rap in the swallow in the loitier brighter, stranger parties were proud of the "long" model. I may choose to add that I was looking for a ski that I think will suit me since September o ka'aja SAAAAA scandal to find out completely ...... choose invested money, the only disadvantage should be that I never got off the "info" sticker under the skis in a hurry before I'd go out, it's still there, I'll fix it later ... :-).
My rating will be 5 ++++++++++ if it went ....

Bought a couple of Mantis in winter, incredibly good skiing! Floats well in deep cushions (Chamonix) and in loose snow & piste (Riksgränsen). Is 174 cm and bought 176, works well, the only thing is that if there had been 178 I would have bought that length instead I think.

Now owns a couple of these skis (184) and is terribly happy. Have previously traveled a bit more pistinated skiing and were skeptical that they would work well in hard (ice) pistons on their waist width (87). But like other similar skis, they work terribly well even on ice in high traffic. But it is clear that it can be a problem if you do not keep active and on edge all the time. These skis would be well-liked in a grand slope if necessary;).

The fact that they work off-piste and in every way varying degrees from slash to pillows in both long and short turns, I think it is superfluous to comment, that's the meaning of them (and they work ...).

Have tested a few "wider" skis, but as a comparison, I can tell that I feel better than my ex-75 and 85. Explain that they are better than heads, but they feel more "busy" "than ex monster 85.

Finally, I'm happy to announce that you can both go and land a fakie with the words if you are now saying that ... this said by a true oldschool-man who can maximize small and large crosses with various handpads, however, he likes high speed in all terrain.

Thus I would like to say goodbye and apologize for the dissertation, I can not get it short.

Just yes .... very good price in the true elan spirit.

Sincerely
