RD 16 SLSkiers that enjoy high speed runs, or even the occasional race, need a lightweight, durable pole with a secure hold, like the RD 16 SL. The sophisticated construction of its aluminum shaft makes it very stable at high speeds with occasional gate contact. The non slip, optimally ergonomic Ergo Grip SL Pro ensures a secure hold at every turn. When the basket has had a rough season of racing you can easily swap it for a new one, just like the pros.
