In words

Intro
Its unique, eye-catching look is backed up by functionality. It has two sections, one in aluminum, one in carbon fiber, and an elongated rubbery grip that is ergonomically shaped at the top and covers the whole of the top shaft. Nice and wide where necessary and slim where it counts, it's excellent for climbing head on up steep terrain. The classic strap has neoprene padding that feels nice to the touch. Lightweight and solid, it has a forged aluminum lock that withstands all kinds of pressure, and an articulated basket. Excellent.
