The Swix Quantum Two Pole is a brand new racing pole with excellent stiffness, pendulum and weight properties. The pole is 100% compatible with all Triac components in the Swix collection including the Swix TBS and TCS systems. The quantum 2 compares to the "star" pole or CT1 in the old Swix pole lineup, but is lighter primarily due to the improved handle sytem. comes with standard XL strap.
Swix Quantum Two Pole Specs:
- Stiffness: 27 mm
- Shaft weight: 66 gr/m
- Strength: >70 kp
- Total weight: 155 grams (155cm pole)
- Diameters: Handle 16 mm, basket 10 mm
**MUST READ!! Please note that the new Swix Triac 3.0 and Quantum 1-3 series poles have redesigned handles with less material above the strap connection. The strap anchor point height (the point in which the strap exits the pole) remains the same for a given marked pole size and therefore should be fitted the same as previous models. If you used a 150 cm before, you would still use a Triac 3.0 or Quantum 1-3 marked as 150 cm. The very top of the pole does not measure quite as tall, however this is not part of the function of the pole and does not require a fit change.**

DISCLAIMER: The above size chart has been developed and refined over many years by Gear West staff, local coaches, and customer feedback from recreational and race skiers. It is based on modern trends in Nordic skiing, however it is not based on any official rules. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to verify pole length compliance in applicable racing events. Also note that these measurements are based on the entire length of the pole assuming that strap anchor point is slightly below the top of the pole.
