Super Jet Pole Weight?

[Mdavies_02]

Starting up a Pole Weight database. Keep in mind that every weight here was given on a different scale (For the mostpart) and will vary.

So far we have:

Stock SN Pole - Pre reinforcing ------------ 12 lbs. 13 oz.
Stock RN Pole - Pre reinforcing ------------ 8 lbs. 0 oz.
- 4" RN Pole - Pre reinforcing -------------- 7 lbs. 8 oz.
RRP Pole (the cast version) ---------------- 11 lbs. 8 oz.
-2 " 24/7 Carbon Pole --------------------- 6 lbs. 0 oz.

unless it's a carbon pole I think the OEM pole is the lightest. Any of the metal ones I have seen are a few lb's heavier.

Stock SN pole is pretty heavy though

AC aluminum for the square is super light.

 

[yamaslut]

yeah, my bad, I was totally thinking RN

You could throw a RN pole on the SN with a conversion bracket. Or grind the hell out of your SN bracket.

RN Pole would be ideal, but not sure if I am up for the task. Thanks for the responses everyone.

I got the hazard bracket, but I'm still mid build. I mocked it up and the RN pole is awesome feeling. I can't imagine how it does in real life. I took a little off the top when I had the brackets power coated and some off the bottom to equal 4 inches. Seems super short and skinny compared to the SN shovel. I also got a shortened turn plate, but the only riding I have done with it is on the stand in the yard with the sprinkler going, lol. CAN'T WAIT!!

Oh yea I had a -2 SN AC pole I was going to use, but it was pretty heavy and bulky when compared to the RN pole.

Bare SN Pole (no steering) = 11 lbs. 13 oz.
Bare RN Pole (no steering) = 9 lbs. 1 oz.

Just updating this thread.

Stock SN Pole without anything.
Stock RN pole without anything.

Mind you, this is weighed on a normal scale, nothing too special. But, its gives a good starting point.

yeah but you have 3 stickers on the sn pole that probably added 1-3 pounds jk of course lol

Another update.

A stock RN pole cut down 4" but not yet reinforced 3.2kg or 7.5LB

A bare RRP (the cast version) 5.4kg or 11.5LB


Anyone have the info on x-metals poles, both adjustable and non adjustable ??
Would be nice to have a full list.

Also, the RN pole floats which to me is very important.
Not as much for flotation but more for the fact that it will help right your ski if you ever lose it in the surf instead of acting like a heavy keel.

Great point.

As for a full list, I will update my original post with any information I find. Great idea.

Now I'm curious about the kavinci pole.

@SkiWorks Composites pole is probably the lightest and prettiest at <7 pounds.
