The `SPRINT` version of the Peltonen R1 poles is perfect when absolute stiffness, durability and weight-savings are needed. These poles are more survivable in close-quarters head-to-head sprint racing. RX powder baskets give great pole plants even in softer snow conditions. 100% XT-60 carbon shafts. This pole model comes in `Free Length` options, meaning handles are unattached, allowing the pole shafts to be easily cut down to a custom length. Email us after you place your order for `Free Length` poles, and we`ll cut them down to the length you specify and attach the handles before shipping free of charge!
