Rossignol Force 9

The Force 9 is the new flagship of the Force line, with an 85 percent carbon shaft. At around 80 grams per metre it is very light yet stiff enough for powerful double poling. It slots in directly below the WCS models.

The pole is aimed at committed racers looking for race-level performance without the price of the full carbon models. The R-Grip Natural Cork 2.0 grip and R-Clip Strap 2.0 give you a clean, repeatable hand position. The XC Tips basket in size L works on prepared tracks and softer training loops alike.
