Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z FKT Poles

Built for athletes who move fast and travel light, the Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z FKT Poles deliver uncompromising performance on steep climbs, technical terrain and ultra-distance adventures. Featuring an ultralight 100% carbon fibre construction and Black Diamond's proven Z-Pole folding technology, these poles deploy in seconds and pack down effortlessly when not in use. The standout update is the innovative FKT glove system, combining a breathable mesh glove with a magnetic quick-connect attachment for lightning-fast transitions, improved power transfer and all-day comfort. Lightweight EVA foam grips with extended grip zones provide confident handling on changing gradients, while interchangeable Tech Tips and included baskets ensure versatility across a wide range of trail conditions. Weighing as little as 147g per pole, the Distance Carbon Z FKT is engineered for runners seeking maximum efficiency, reduced fatigue and race-day performance when every gram and every second counts.
