Carbon fiber is incredibly light and stiff, but when it’s overloaded sideways, it can fail suddenly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we redesigned the part of the pole hikers rely on the most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur hybrid poles use Grade 9 titanium (Ti-3Al-2.5V) for the entire lower section—the same alloy found in aerospace tubing and high-performance bike frames. Titanium shrugs off rock strikes, resists dents, and can flex rather than snap, dramatically reducing the most common break point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper sections remain high-modulus carbon fiber, giving you the light, fast, comfortable swing that hikers love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the selected option for availability.
