KV+ Elite Poles

Race pace without compromise: the KV+ Elite is the 100% carbon pole for skiers who want low weight and direct power transfer in training and on race day.

The shaft is made entirely of carbon and tapers from 16.5 mm at the grip down to 8.5 mm at the bottom end. That keeps the Elite very light while staying stable enough for daily training – it weighs only around 15 percent more than the flagship Tornado.

On top you get the Falcon Clip handle with a thermo-moulded cork surface: the strap attachment point sits exactly in the axis of the shaft, so your push travels straight into the tip. The Elite Clip strap clicks in and out via quick release – no hook-and-loop fastener, no fiddling during a break.

Small race baskets come fitted and can be swapped for larger baskets or roller ski ferrules in seconds (sold separately). Lengths run from 130 to 185 cm in 2.5 cm steps: for skating figure on about 90 percent of your body height, for classic technique around 85 percent.
