The read

A frontside-leaning all-mountain ski with an 85.5mm waist, sitting narrower than most all-mountain skis in the catalog, built for groomed pistes and variable conditions. Elan's asymmetric profile places camber along the inside edge for grip and rocker along the outside edge for easier initiation and release, paired with titanal and carbon construction that leans stable and composed. It suits a skier who wants confident edge hold and directional drive across mixed terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Wingman 86 Black Edition's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance.

Float & width

At 86 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. An asymmetric rocker profile tunes float and grip differently at tip and tail.
