One of our best selling poles, the Elite Clip professional racing poles are a budget-friendly alternative to the Tornado. They feature the same Tornado stiffness, small racing baskets, and clip straps. At just 15 per cent heavier than Tornado poles, they’re still light enough for almost any skier.

The ergonomic design of the Elite Clip straps gives you full control over the pole and provides ultimate energy transmission to the pole tip while you push. Featuring the new Fast Clip handle that allows you clip in an out even faster than before! The design is ideal for skiathlon races, as well as for streamlining water breaks as you train.

KV+ poles are measured from the tip of the basket (or roller ski ferrule) to the very top of the handle. The distance between the top of the handle and point where strap enters the handle is 4.5 cm.

Sizing

Ski pole length can vary a little based on personal preference and skill/performance level. Better skiers will generally use slightly longer poles for better performance, whereas newer skiers will benefit from a shorter pole which is easier to use. For a quick way to find the size you need you can use one of the following calculations based on your height in centimeters. For skate ski poles you want them to be around 89% of your height, and classic poles around 83%. So a skate skier who is 180cm would use this calculation: 180 x 0.89 = 160.2. The closest stock length would be 160 cm. If you're between sizes, go for the shorter option for ease of use, or the longer option for better performance.
