THE NEW 4KAAD CROSS-COUNTRY POLES HAVE ARRIVED

Performance meets a unique hologram look.

The new 4KAAD cross-country ski poles have arrived — bringing together performance, function and a distinctive new style.

The first thing you notice is the unique hologram design. Depending on the light and viewing angle, the finish changes its appearance, giving the poles a modern and dynamic character. But while the look makes them stand out, what really matters is how a cross-country pole performs once you are out on the snow.

A GOOD POLE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Cross-country skiing is all about rhythm, efficiency and transferring power into forward movement. Your poles are an important part of that equation.

A high-quality cross-country pole should feel light in your hands, remain stable when you apply power and provide efficient energy transfer with every push. Whether you are training, racing or simply enjoying a long day on the tracks, the right pole can make skiing feel more natural and efficient.

And a great pole is much more than just the shaft.

STRAPS: THE CONNECTION TO YOUR POWER

A good strap is one of the most important details of any cross-country pole.

The strap creates the connection between your hand and the pole, helping you transfer power without having to constantly squeeze the grip. A well-fitting strap should hold the hand securely in the correct position while still feeling comfortable during long sessions.

When the grip and strap work together correctly, you can ski with a more relaxed hand and focus on maintaining a smooth, powerful rhythm.

BASKETS: SMALL DETAIL, BIG JOB

Pole baskets might look like a small component, but they have an important job.

The right basket provides support when the pole hits the snow and helps create a reliable platform for each push. Snow conditions can vary enormously — from hard, fast tracks to softer winter snow — so basket design and size can have a noticeable effect on pole performance.

A good basket gives you confidence to plant the pole and push.

GET THE LENGTH RIGHT

Even the best cross-country pole will not perform as intended if the length is wrong.

Pole length influences your technique, timing and ability to generate power. A pole that is too short can limit your push, while a pole that is too long can make the movement awkward and affect your skiing rhythm.

The ideal length also depends on whether you are skiing skating or classic, as the two techniques require different pole lengths.

Choosing the correct size means finding the balance between your height, skiing technique, experience and personal preference. If you are unsure, take the time to check the recommended pole length before choosing your new pair.

PERFORMANCE WITH A NEW LOOK

With their distinctive hologram style, the new 4KAAD cross-country poles are designed to look different on the track — while keeping the focus where it belongs: performance, control and the joy of skiing.

Because when the pole length is right, the strap fits your hand and the basket meets the snow exactly where you want it, every push becomes part of the rhythm.
