KV+ Tornado Plus Pink Poles Junior

Racing looks for the little ones: the KV+ Tornado Plus Junior Pink brings the technology of the big Tornado models into a light junior version in a white and pink design.

The shaft is made of 80% carbon and weighs around 73 g per metre. It measures 16.5 mm at the top and 10 mm at the bottom – this slightly stronger lower diameter makes the pole more robust, which is quite handy in kids' training with the occasional crash. Even so, it stays light enough not to slow down the frequency in double poling.

At the top there is an Elite Clip grip with thermo cork (Ø 16.5 mm) plus the Evolution Clip strap: it can be released and clicked back in with one movement, without the strap ending up twisted. That saves a lot of fiddling at the side of the track – and the kids manage on their own. At the bottom run pink Forza baskets with a 10 mm diameter.

Available from 110 to 160 cm in 2.5 cm steps, so you can plan ahead over several seasons. As a rule of thumb for skating, take body height times 0.89; for classic, a little shorter.
