CX-80 carbon refers to a specific grade of carbon fiber used in the construction of ski poles. This material is lightweight yet incredibly strong, making it ideal for high-performance sports equipment. The CX-80 formulation offers an excellent balance of stiffness and weight, which enhances your skiing experience by allowing for quicker movements and reduced fatigue.

The Nordic 2K Cork grip is designed specifically for cross-country skiing, combining comfort and functionality. Made from a two-component material that includes cork, this grip is lightweight and provides excellent traction. It helps reduce hand fatigue during long skiing sessions, allowing you to maintain a secure hold on the poles and enjoy a more comfortable ride.

The Click-In Race Strap is a specialized strap that secures your hands to the ski poles. Its easy attachment and detachment mechanism allows for quick adjustments, which is crucial during competitive skiing. This strap is designed to provide a secure fit, helping you maintain control and power throughout your performance, ultimately enhancing your skiing efficiency.

A standard basket is the circular disc located at the bottom of ski poles that prevents them from sinking too deeply into the snow. The standard size and shape of this basket make it versatile for various skiing conditions, providing a good balance between performance and usability. It helps you maintain stability and control while skiing, especially in softer snow.

The claimed weight of the ski poles, which is 5.2oz (148g) for the 160cm poles, is crucial for performance because lighter poles can significantly reduce fatigue and enhance your agility. When ski poles are lightweight, you can make quicker movements and maintain better control, allowing for a more enjoyable and efficient skiing experience.

The combination of CX-80 carbon and the Nordic 2K Cork grip creates a ski pole that is both lightweight and strong, providing optimal performance. The carbon fiber construction ensures durability and stiffness, while the cork grip offers comfort and reduces hand fatigue. Together, these materials allow for better control, quicker reactions, and an overall improved skiing experience, making them ideal for both recreational and competitive skiers.
