Forza Clip Poles are excellent racing or training poles for intermediate/advanced skiers. They feature 85-per-cent-carbon shafts, Elite Clip handles and Evolution Clip straps. Bigger Forza baskets make them ideal for any snow conditions.

The cutting-edge KC+ clip system allows you to release the pole strap in a second—never struggle with Velcro again. 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.
