XTA BASE LEKI sticks

Stands are an important element of any winter sports equipment.
They have a significant impact on pleasure, performance and safety during the race, whatever the style.
Consequently, it is important to choose your sticks carefully.

Basically, the stick is much more important in cross -country skiing than in alpine skiing.
Why: because it is continuously used as a push and must also be stable during "emergency braking".

It is important to use a stable and light stick, which is either in hardened aluminum (a variety of aluminum also used in aeronautical construction), or in composite materials with a carbon content which provides stiffness accordingly.

The handle must have an ergonomic shape to ensure good handling of the stick. The strap must provide a reliable support function and a perfect adjustment without pressure points.


Utilisation: ski de fond classique ou skating

It is not possible to use the same sticks for skating and classic cross -country skiing!

In order to increase the thrust, as a rule, skating sticks are about 10 cm longer than the corresponding conventional sticks.
With longer sticks, it is also possible to exert a large push back when starting.
Classic sticks are generally too short for skating.

It is advisable to have two pairs of sticks of different lengths to alternate according to Nordic practice.

Technologies:

• Construction en aluminium

- High-strength aluminum alloy found in aircraft construction
- Durable, wear-resistant tubes that provide maximum stability
- High elasticity under bending load
- Less sensitive to shock than carbon

The materials used for tubes of cross -country ski sticks:

• Bâtons à longueur fixe

-Optimal power transmission
-Perfect vibratory behavior

• Nordic year handle system

The Nordic Ans handle is specially designed for cross -country skiing.
The length of the strap is easy to modify thanks to the adjustment wedge in the handle.
This guarantees simple handling and a good connection between the hand and the stick.
