Atomic BCT Freeride SQS Poles

The Atomic BCT Freeride SQS is a fixed-length pole for freeriders who want maximum control on deep powder days. Its low swing weight makes it pleasantly agile in your hand, while the material's high tensile strength forgives rough use in the terrain. A well-thought-out companion for anyone unwilling to compromise in the backcountry.

The shaft is made from sturdy 5* aluminum that combines lightness and break resistance. The wrapped freeride grip is inspired by bike grips: the upper shaft section is wrapped in tape and finished with a rubber cap – so you can safely grab the pole below the grip on short hikes or in steep sections. The integrated SQS (Safety Quick Release System) instantly releases the touring strap from the grip under strong tension, reducing your risk of injury. The extra-large 97 mm powder basket keeps you from sinking in deep snow, and the carbide tip provides hold and long durability. The pole is available in fixed lengths from 110 to 135 cm.
