I have been getting a lot of people wanting to know more about our handle pole, so I decided to start this thread to answer any questions and show some pics. The pole is made out of T6061 billet aluminum, no cast parts. The bottom and top pieces are machined from bar stock and the middle is a cold rolled extrusion. Extrusion was chosen for the middle because of its high strength. The grains in the extruded metal make it an idea choice for that area. The skin is made of pre preg composite material, either fiberglass(painted), or visual carbon fiber. The pole is very strong and will stand up to just about anything you can throw at it. It is a new product as far production, but has been getting developed for the last three years. Is it proven? If having Joe Kenney, Eric Malone, etc. ride them, then no. But, I can tell you that I am confident that you can not bend, yet alone break it. The pole weighs 10.5 pounds complete. The chin pad is built in which makes this pole among the lighest available. Most of the weight is at the lower piece, 3.5 pounds, and the pole feels really light when riding. Even if you chose not to use a spring (dual bolt system) the pole is not heavy. I usually only offer the pole, as a novelty, to the customer that purchases a hull. But, after a lot of interest and demand I am going to build them for anyone that wants it. I am currently working on a run of them that will be ready in January. The price is $799. Please call (541)231-6069 if interested or have any questions. Here are some pics to show the lines and features of the pole. Thanks.
