Downhill pole based on IPM technology (Internal Pressure Molding) with an extra bend just below the handle (wrist bend) to ensure optimal aerodynamics. Elliptical cross-section minimizes air drag. Downhill racing handle and basket. Unique IPM (Internal Pressure Molding), a part of Swix technology, provides you with this pole. The DHC is 3 times stiffer than downhill poles in aluminum, giving a much more explosive start and 50% less wind drag than conventional 18 mm aluminum poles. Gold medal performance!
