Recently got back into skiing after a 20+ year hiatus. Elan Element caught my eye as something perfect for the terrain in my area (ice coast, lol) and skill level (solid intermediate. not looking to impress, just have fun). The manufacturer's notes on balance, turn initiation and responsiveness were accurate and the Kunstadt staff was helpful. Love these skis!
It rides so well on all sorts of conditions. Handles well. Integrated bolts for different kinds of storage on the frame is great.
Also, credit to the folks working at the store. They were very pleasant to talk to. Would certainly recommend both the bike and the store
We agree with you Abhijit, it is the most beautiful bike we have ever seen! Thank you very much for your kind review. Enjoy the sweet new ride and let us know if there is anything we can help with!

Good spec, good for the new cyclist, single speed keeps it easy
I’ve only skied on them twice, last Friday under very hard groomed conditions and then this Monday under progressively softening conditions, the skis performed very well both days !
Great ski boots from Lange,
high performance, excellent quality, amazingly comfortable. Very happy with my purchase.
Seems to be of good quality. Price and delivery both excellent!
This bag is good as a boots-only bag, and will fit under your bus seat if you point the toes under the seat you are sitting on (or possibly the seat ahead of you if there is no foot rest or if you don't use the footrest). You can add your toe covers and socks to the bag, keeping in mind that the bag will fit best under the seat if you keep the small front pocket slim and squishy. Your helmet, being neither slim nor squishy, will need to go somewhere else.
I like that it came 4 days sooner than expected and that they offer Shop Pay installments. Bindings came nicely packaged and brand new. I've also already recommended Kunstadt Sports to my friends and family.
Jacket is very good quality and as descrived it repeals water. It also has many pockets and the hood is detachable. Overall is a great looking jacket with great features.
Skis ride nice. Very cool jumps with them. Guy on the graphic looks like MF Doom
I'm an old guy (55) with a hip problem and lost my reach years ago to unclip in my old bindings. I bought these to try and get back on the mountain. Now, using a push stick, I can unclip my rear foot and simply step back in at the top. These bindings have brought me back!
The quality of the binding and the step-in mechanism is top-notch. Everything is tight and stable when locked and the bindings are responsive edge-to-edge for my style of riding (which is coming back quickly, even with my hip problems). I don't find the extra weight to be a problem because I used hard boots and plate for a long time. The universal plates are nice with a +/- setup to adjust for too-heel overlap.
The straps can be adjusted on the fly for tension and and fit and you can release them like conventional bindings anytime. Everything remains secure and solid after a few days of riding.
The step-in feature really is spectacular. They work with your existing boots, and the strap+highback feel is what I like and I'm used too. Other systems rely on connections to the boot sole (and they have good reviews) but I prefer the feel of a conventional strap+highback where you don't have to fit the boot tightly on your foot. And I didn't have to replace my boots, so.....
Stepping-in directly off the chairlift is really cool and makes everyone jealous. I wish there was a cable release I could reach, but my pushstick is OK for now. (I may 3Dprint parts and build a cable release after I get a few more days in).
Fantastic product.
I have used this brand for many years and I really enjoy the quality and the company!!
Got the skis at a great discount, little bit of rust and corrosion on edges of the skis but considering the discount im happy
This relatively inexpensive tire was easy to install and provided a smooth ride.
Love this jacket - have been looking at it for two years and finally got it on sale. It fits beautifully, and has lots of pockets including one for ski passes on the sleeve. Can't wait to hit the slopes in it this winter!
Just wanted to try it out, but this saddle may be the one!
On-line order system worked well. Skis are amazing. Chelsea shop adjusted the bindings to my boots immediately!
Great fit and very good service.
