Gabel Carbon Force FLK 7008650100000 trekking poles

Gabel Carbon Force FLK Model is a product specially designed for demanding professional athletes who prefer top-class products, CARBON FORCE FLK is a technologically advanced, versatile and reliable climbing and trekking pole, suitable for both winter and summer use. Due to its extremely low weight and super-efficient locking system, this model is especially recommended for high-altitude climbers and alpine guides.

The shaft of the "pole" consists of three tubes with diameters of 16, 14 and 12 mm respectively. The first two sections are made of the durable Gabron "SNAKE CARBON" material, a high-modulus carbon fiber with a special geometric pattern that looks like snakeskin. This innovative carbon crystallization system makes the Carbon Force FLK 20% lighter and 18% more resistant than regular carbon fiber poles. The last section is also covered with a layer of KEVLAR to improve the material's resistance to scratches and collisions with rocks or other hard objects.

This model is of course telescopic and can reach a minimum size of 66 cm. It is equipped with a combination of 3 high-performance locking systems: the first with two external aluminum clamps ("U-LOCK"), the second with internal expanders (MULTI LOCK) and the last with a highly efficient rotating mechanism ("EXL" - Easy additional locking system), which offers a strength of over 100 kg.

The tungsten "CARBIDE" tip/spike guarantees excellent grip on any terrain, while the "SOFT Touring" extended foam handle provides more contact points, ensuring total comfort. Finally, the very comfortable and breathable handle strap has an additional, special coating with an antibacterial formula to increase its durability and overall comfort of use - it can be easily removed and washed - this is ensured by the Gabel "Top Click" system (TCS). We recommend

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

• Fast Lock – external locking system, which, thanks to solid buckles, allows for quick and secure adjustment of the appropriate pole length. It also works very well at low temperatures.

• TPL – Top Performance Locking is an internal locking system that, thanks to the use of a “spreader pin” mechanism, allows for quick and secure adjustment of the appropriate length of the pole. Just set the length and screw. Thanks to the use of two “spreader” points, Gabel guarantees stability while walking or running.

• Multi – combination of Fast Lock [external locking system] and TPL [internal locking system]. Gabel is the only pole manufacturer in the world that has a hybrid of systems in 1 product, thanks to which you can be sure that your poles will not fold when you least expect it.

• TCS System – Top Click System A system that allows you to attach and detach the strap from the handle; compatible with the easy strap length control patent.

• Carbide – carbide, a special alloy of metal, semi-metal and carbon atoms from which the tips of clubs are made – widie. This material is definitely more resistant to abrasion than steel.

• Soft – handle made of very soft, foam material providing comfort of use and a very secure grip.

• Kevlar – one of the most durable alloys in the world – over 5 times lighter than steel. Strengthens poles made of carbon fiber.

• FL + Power – Power Fast Lock is an external locking system that, thanks to solid aluminum buckles, allows for quick and reliable adjustment of the appropriate pole length.

• Snake Carbon – “Snake Carbon” technology is a composition of up to 7 layers of carbon fiber and Kevlar, giving a geometric arrangement of snake skin created as a result of innovative fiber crystallization technology, thanks to which the poles are 20% lighter and 18% more resistant to impacts. Snake Carbon is a revolution in the way carbon fiber is used in sports products. Thanks to it, Gabel poles will withstand long runs, mountain expeditions and ski descents even in the most difficult terrain.

• ULTRA LIGHT – very light poles for the most demanding users, made of 100% top quality carbon fiber.
