Elan Primetime 55 + Protector Binding 54453794

The Elan Primetime 55 + Protector Binding is a sport-oriented piste ski package designed for skiers who enjoy carving medium-radius turns on groomed slopes. The setup pairs the ski and binding in one kit, so you can hit the mountain without hunting down separate components.

With a 121/69/102 mm sidecut in the 165 cm length, the Primetime 55 offers a responsive feel when shifting edges, while the slightly wider tip and tail enhance stability through each turn. Its 13.7 m radius strikes a balance between nimble initiation and controlled carving, and the Elan Protector 13.0 GW FusionX binding adds dependable retention and release for a more confident run.

The sidecut dimensions—wider at tip and tail, narrower at waist—create a natural arc that guides you through medium-radius turns with moderate lean and speed. The 13.7 m radius tells you how tight those turns can be: smaller numbers mean sharper turns, and this ski sits in the mid-range for versatile piste performance. The Protector 13.0 GW binding accommodates release values up to 13 and is GW-compatible, meaning it works seamlessly with GripWalk boot soles—boot soles designed with a rounder profile and rubber tread for easier walking off the lifts—without sacrificing binding security.

Elan says about thePrimetime 55 + Protector Binding

The most exact ski of the collection, Primetime 55 rules in edge-to-edge quickness and delivers elite carving capacity with a smooth energetic feel.The lightning fast quickness of Primetime 55 stems from its 69 mm waist combined with state-of-the-art PowerMatch Technology, a design that matches the construction of the ski with how the skier puts power to the snow, for more natural control of the inside and outside edges throughout the turn. It uses a combination of Amphibio Profile and a Dual Density Woodcore which has a thicker profile with higher density wood reinforced by Dual Ti along the inside edge for power, stability, grip, and rebound.The outside edge is constructed with a thinner profile and lighter density wood for intuitive maneuverability, improved tracking, and weight reduction.It’s topped with the new Fusion X binding system that has been raised in the toe to improve balance while allowing the ski to flex naturally.This makes Primetime 55 the clear choice forskiers that appreciate an exact and exciting carving tool.
