The Insomnia S Testski from Elan is an all-mountain ski setup designed for skiers looking to explore varied terrain. This package includes the ELW 9 GW Shift binding in black, making it ready to try out straight away. As a test ski offering, it gives you a chance to experience Elan’s design before committing to a full purchase.
At 158 cm, the Insomnia S features a 13.9 m radius that strikes a balance between nimble turn initiation and stable arc control. The sidecut dimensions of 125/76/104 mm create a versatile profile that helps you hold an edge through carved turns while still allowing for smooth transitions. Pairing these skis with the ELW 9 GW Shift binding adds reliable grip-walk compatibility for easier walking and solid retention when you’re on the descent.
A turn radius of 13.9 m means the ski is geared toward medium-sized turns: you won’t be fighting it into tighter, quick changes, nor will it feel sluggish when rolling through longer curves. The tip width of 125 mm provides flotation and confidence at turn entry, the 76 mm waist offers agile edge-to-edge response, and the 104 mm tail ensures stability and drive as you finish each turn.
