The BCT Freeride is tuned to the needs of freeskiers wanting a solid pole with all the right features. A single piece 7075 grade aluminium shaft is tough & has no potential weak points like an adjustable pole. The Wrapped FR Grip handle provides multiple comfortable positions to hold & the SQS Touring strap will safely release from the pole when enough force is applied, reducing the risk of injury. A Carbide tip will bite into the hardest snow & the 97mm basket has the width to deal with the deepest of conditions.
