Best pole for SXR ? Input needed

Spike

Spike

Has anyone tried the Blosion pole?
Rickter?
AC?
UMI?

Id like to know pros & cons to these replacements.

I've only been riding stand-up for a few seasons now and broke my first stock pole.

Been doing a lot of searching and reading I saw only one review on the Blosion.

I've been trying to find a used one but not sure if I should just bite the bullet and go for the best available.
Not sure what that is? I'm not doing any flips or rolls yet just getting used to jumping in the surf.
I have a 2010 SXR Any help is appreciated

On a heavy SXR I doubt you would notice the weight difference. I chose the cast version over the billet for ease of maintenance in the salt water. My setup is 3 years old and still looks great. Edit, once you replace that stock pole, you will never go back.

RRP, prowatercraft ultra pole, star bar, umi, stock superjet pole..any of them is a huge benefit over the stock pole. I have run and/or tried every pole i listed and they each have their slight variances but all work much better than the stock setup.

Check out the kb pole as well I think it's very nice and priced affordable . He's on here o can't remember his username but he's. Cool guy and it comes out to like only 600 bucks ,also u can get a cast rrp for around 700 range but own Kawasaki turn plate and stuff isn't compatible (I think) I could be wrong

Ive ridden stock and xmetal non-adjustable. Guys i ride with that i havent personally ridden their skis, have xmetal adjustable, rrp and superjet. Guy who got xmetal adjustable picked it because it was cheaper than the rrp. stock sj pole in the mix again because its the cheapest option. Mine came with the sxr and the shorter length was nice but im not that picky. It seems to me budget is a big driver, any of them would work fine for me. One thing i can note is that the xmetal pole i had was aluminum and powdercoated, so the coat was bubbling and the screw that held the steering cable in place became an issue, which i found very frusrating.

Edit: On second thought, i did ride the rrp back before the ski got bumped up to an 1100. It was very nice and my favorite look, but i have been equally happy with any of them. Again, im not super picky.

Thanks for all the responses
I was going to order the x-metal because of some posts I read but when I called I was told they aren't even taking orders for about 3 weeks.

Parker, I never heard of the KB pole I'll search it.

Ac pole any good? I read somewhere that they all had some defect that you had to modify the mount to correct. Other than that it seemed ideal because you're supposed to be able to use all stock hardware with it. That would save some bucks.

I really like the looks of the Blosion but looks only get ya so far I want something that will last and be functional too. I don't know how it compares to the RR pole that seems to be so popular. Its hard to spend that much not knowing how it will feel

thanks Crazy, I'll look up Aura too

I appreciate all the input keep it coming especially the personal experience what you liked or disliked. Thanks

Could you elaborate a little on this? Is there some special care given to billet poles?
Thanks

Which one would you rather keep clean after salt water use?

Look at all the tiny spots to try and keep clean. I think the billet one would look like poop real fast in the salt water. To me it looks sweet, but only if I were riding in fresh only on my SXR.

I'm currently waiting for the delivery of my new matrix and I choose to go with the blowsion handlepole setup. Yes, the Blowsion setup is not cheap but you get what you pay for, it has the OVP steering, it's super strong, lighter than the rrp billet setup, CNC work looks amazing, and it's USA made. RRP poles are nice but this is not the 2005 anymore. All RRP stuff is built overseas and they still charge a fortune for it. Just about all the other poles are knock off RRP setups and I wouldn't spend my money on those either. Personally on the SXR I think the xscream pole looks the best but I can't comment on the functionality of it. Good luck

Agreed, the Blowsion is a sweet setup with amazing quality and workmanship. I would own one if they didn't CNC their logo all over it.
