NEW ASCENT GRIP
Your poles are your constant partner on the climb. The all-new Ascent Grip is a dedicated choke-up zone engineered for efficiency, comfort, and ultimate control on the skintrack. This simple, intuitive upgrade gives you better precision without compromising downhill performance across all VIA and FIXIE poles.
1. Precision Handling: Thick, ribbed foam gives you a positive, confident hold exactly where you need it for side-hilling, bootpacks, and technical traverses. This allows for instinctual hand placement without fumbling to adjust your pole length.
2. Lighter & Optimized For Efficiency: The carefully selected foam construction contributes to a reduction in overall pole weight while improving swing weight. By minimizing mass at the point of contact, we reduce hand and shoulder fatigue, allowing you to push further and faster up the skintrack.
3. Insulated Comfort: Keeps your hands warmer by eliminating direct shaft contact.
4. Ergonomic Confidence: The durable, ribbed foam material is ergonomically shaped to fit your hand naturally. This prevents hot spots and minimizes strain on big vertical days, delivering a comfortable and confident hold.
