Built by K2's Factory Team as the ultimate freeride pole, the V12 Ski Pole's low weight and bomber strength make it ideal for aggressive skiing in demanding terrain. Ten strands of carbon fiber wrap around this pole's composite shaft, combining the lightweight stiffness of carbon with durability only found before in aluminum. A thermoplastic pistol-shifter grip gives secure hold when you're hauling ass, and the chrome accents show up nicely in cover shots.
The K2 V12 pole is one of the better ski poles I have used in a while. It is light weight, durable, and thin but at the same time strong. It has a great grip which adds extra support. As mentioned in the "Tech Specs" it comes with two different pole baskets, one for hard snow conditions and one for soft, which is very useful. To top it off, the K2 V12 has a very sleek design and graphics. This pole is a great all mountain ski for the resorts or the big mountains.
