DF1

The ski handle is developed for top level skiers, and research indicates that it gives increased force transfer by 3-4%. This is a significant increase in speed at top-level skiing. It is mainly achieved by reduced bending of the ski pole due to a more optimal geometry of the handle. The handle was developed in close collaboration with skier Jørgen Weidemann Eriksen, who did a lot of testing. We made many prototypes that have been lab tested with athletes at the Norwegian Olympic Sports Centre, Olympiatoppen.
