Product description — Ace Sc4 S Shiftx

Lightweight and lively on hard snow, the Elan Ace SC4 S ShiftX is a piste ski designed for skiers who want to progress in carving without fighting their kit. Its construction combines a wood-composite core, a Mono Ti titanal insert and a ShiftX interface to efficiently transmit the skier’s energy to the edges.

What is the Elan Ace SC4 S ShiftX ski designed for?

With a 72 mm waist, the Ace SC4 S ShiftX is geared towards groomed runs. The traditional camber provides a clean edge hold from one edge to the other and good rebound out of the turn. The tip rocker smooths turn initiation and makes the ski easier to steer in soft or transformed snow. The short radius delivers plenty of energy through linked turns, offering a dynamic carved turn feel without requiring excessive physical commitment.

Who is the Elan Ace SC4 S ShiftX ski aimed at?

This ski is designed for beginner to intermediate skiers who want to improve their turning technique on groomers. Its manoeuvrability and easy handling let you focus on pressure control and line choice rather than battling the ski. The Mono Ti insert and ShiftX interface provide reassuring stability without making the overall set-up feel heavy.

What are the main strengths of the Elan Ace SC4 S ShiftX ski?

Manoeuvrability

Edge grip

Lightweight feel


What is the ShiftX interface on the Ace SC4 for?

The ShiftX interface is integrated between the ski and the binding. It improves energy transfer between the skier and the edges, resulting in a more direct response with every pressure input. For a progressing skier, this translates into more precise turns and easier edge engagement.

Does the Mono Ti reinforcement make the ski difficult to handle?

No. The titanal layer placed on top of the wood core improves responsiveness without making the ski noticeably stiffer at this level. Its behaviour remains approachable and playful; the titanal mainly adds stability on firm or uneven sections of the slope.

Does the Ace SC4 S ShiftX hold well on icy snow?

Yes. The traditional camber maintains edge-to-snow contact along the full length of the ski, giving it solid grip on hardpack or icy snow. The RST Sidewall construction reinforces this power transmission from tip to tail.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

After using our calculator, you can explore further with our guides (depending on your skiing style):

And to see the method in action, here’s our video tutorial (example focused on piste / all-mountain skiing, with useful benchmarks whatever your style).

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

At glisshop.co.uk, you’ll find one of the most comprehensive ski selections available online. To choose the right pair, start with three simple criteria: your ability level, your preferred terrain (piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, touring), and your budget.

To refine your selection, several options are available:

  1. The advanced search tool: located at the top of each category page, it allows you to filter by brand, skill level, discipline, and more. By combining these filters, you can quickly narrow down the range and easily find the models best suited to your skiing style.

  2. Contact us on 020 3129 3301: a pair of skis is a technical piece of equipment. Before placing your order, it’s best to make sure the model truly meets your expectations. Our team is here to advise you.

To go further and understand the differences between ski types, take a look at our comprehensive guide 'Which skis to choose?'.

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.

Setting the release value of your bindings is a major safety issue.

In order to fully function and ensure safety, your bindings need to be set according to the Afnor FD S 52-748 standard. We wrote down a guide to help you find out the release value matching your needs.

When buying a pair of skis, you will have to complete a form asking for your measurements. Please complete it with the most accurate information: it will allow our technicians to adjust precisely your bindings and lower down the risk of injury.
