-.-Skijanje.hr-.-This season Elan Magfire range comprises even four models. 78 Ti is the second toughest of them. The range is designed for skiing all terrains and conditions, both on- and off-piste. The models differ primarily in stiffness and width.

In Magfire's nomenclature the number in the model's name stands for the width of the waist in millimeters, and "Ti" stands for titanium strengthening. Apart from these features, this model is equipped with WaveFlex technology, edges strengthened using RST Sidewall technology and Power Woodcore. As in most models, the bindings are integrated into the ski using well known Fusion technology.

Magfire 78 Ti is a ski intended for intermediate and more experienced skiers who like skiing all terrains. Advanced and heavier weighted skiers might opt for a tougher model from this range, mostly for its greater stiffness. On the snow the ski acts quite the same as it is stated in the catalogue. Its performance is also suggested by its geometry. On all terrains Magfire 78 Ti performs all elements on the snow with pleasure and ease. During shorter turns you will feel constant edge grip throughout the turn, and the ski will guide you through it. The thing that will appeal to many skiers is the fact that this is an obedient ski which can be easily guided in turns. It even forgives some mistakes. As you shift your weight, Magfire 78 Ti will easily and quickly turn from edge to edge which will make your skiing a real pleasure. The same can be said for longer turns; edge grip at the start, and even pressure throughout the turn make skier feel safe and turns skiing into your best fun. This model also has a solid edge grip on hard packed surfaces. However, heavier weighted skiers might opt for a tougher model from the range.

Magfire performs equally well if you take it off the groomers. Everything that has been said for its performance on groomers goes for other terrains as well. Skiing bumps and worn out snow will thrill you; you'll want to ski such terrain more and more with this ski, especially if you ski more aggressively. In will manage in deep snow as well, but have in mind that it is not its main purpose.

-.-Skijanje.hr-.-This ski could prove great for intermediate and more experienced skiers who wish to enjoy skiing on all terrains and reject groomers as their limit. It is very maneuverable and snappy, which will turn your skiing into real pleasure without tiring you out. Also, Magfire 78 Ti should be considered for spring skiing.
