Rollerski Poles

Select Your Rollerski Poles

The correct choice of rollerski poles can significantly enhance your roller skiing enjoyment. Poles not only aid in forward propulsion but also play a crucial role in maintaining balance and control. Key considerations include both the material and length of rollerski poles, as they should suit your skiing style and body height.

Length of Rollerski Poles

The suitable length for your rollerski poles varies with your skiing style—classic or skating. For the classic technique, rollerski poles should be approximately 30 cm shorter than your height, which optimises arm movement. In contrast, skating poles should be about 20 cm shorter, as their slightly longer design complements the lateral movements by allowing greater reach.

Materials of Rollerski Poles

Typically, rollerski poles are crafted from carbon, fibreglass, or a mix of these materials. Each material type presents distinct advantages and drawbacks. Poles made entirely of carbon are rigid, lightweight, and deliver optimal power transfer from the arm to the pole tip, making them ideal for seasoned rollerskiers and competitors. Conversely, poles composed of 50% carbon and 50% fibreglass are more flexible and durable, though heavier; these are cost-effective and popular among leisure rollerskiers.

Additional features to consider include pole straps, cork-made ski pole handles, and various sizes of ski pole tip replacements. To explore further equipment for rollerski poles, visit our Accessories for Roller Ski Poles.
