Intro

A fixed-length, full-carbon pole. From its all-black look alone, you can see that it's a race pole. Anything special? Short, cork grip with safe-release, ergonomic strap (which is super comfortable and also fits well on smaller hands, and the big button is handy, too). Of course, it also has a xc basket and chisel tip. It's nice and stiff to handle the stresses of racing. No notes. It's got what it takes to win.
