Gabel SLD-R – Precision, Stiffness, and Control for Slalom Performance
The Gabel SLD-R ski poles are built for skiers who demand maximum precision, stiffness, and responsiveness on the slalom course. Designed for high-intensity racing, these poles deliver exceptional power transfer and stability in every turn.
The shaft is crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum, enhanced through the Foil Treatment Surface (FTS) process — a specialized treatment that increases the pole’s overall strength, durability, and resistance to bending under pressure. This ensures long-lasting performance, even during the most demanding slalom runs.
An ergonomic Tiger Grip handle provides a secure and natural hold, while the World Cup (WC) strap ensures perfect control and comfort, keeping the pole firmly in place during aggressive skiing. The Carbide Tip delivers outstanding grip on icy and compacted snow, allowing you to maintain speed and precision without compromise.
Key Technologies:
FTS (Foil Treatment Surface) – a reinforced aluminum treatment that enhances durability and resistance to wear.
WC Strap – a wider, professional-grade strap for improved control and comfort during dynamic skiing.
Carbide Tip – an extremely durable tip made of carbide alloy, providing superior traction on icy and hard-packed snow.
Summary:
The Gabel SLD-R poles are engineered for serious racers and advanced skiers who value precision, balance, and strength. With a stiff aluminum construction, ergonomic grip, and race-proven components, these poles deliver the ultimate performance in slalom conditions.
