Komperdell Technical Specs

LIGHT, SLIM AND STRONG!
100 % carbon – High Tech Composite Material


Carbon is used where light and extra robust materials are needed, e.g. for aviation and space flights.

For the production of telescopic poles the most important aspects are high resistance at minimal weight, corrosion resistance and total functionality even at fluctuating temperatures.

Carbon meets these criteria a 100%. A production process exclusively developed by KOMPERDELL, treats the carbon fibres so that the tube gains stiffness without loosing lightness.

No Pole over 200 g

By comparison to a beverage can (350 g) our lightest model does not weigh the half!

TITANAL, one of the strongest aluminum-alloy was exclusively developed in Austria in the early 1990s. Today, TITANAL is used in products and industries which require unique properties such as low weight and highest tensile strength.

TITANAL is part of the 7XXX class of alloys. The mechanical properties of TITANAL are comparable to steel. Its weight, however is only 1/3 the weight of steel. TITANAL is strong, lite, and highly resistant against abrasion and corrosion.

When developing the new TITANAL .HF series, the focus of our engineering team has been on reducing weight without sacrificing strength. To achieve the desired results we found that in addition to using high-tech materials and production methods for grips, straps, etc. we had to go back to the roots and conduct some basic research on the most crucial component of all – the shaft.

From the basic properties, TITANAL was the ideal choice for our new expedition weight poles. To use TITANAL for our application, however, we also had to develop new heat treating and manufacturing processes to optimize TITANAL for our specific use. In exclusive partnerships with leading European aluminum processing companies, KOMPERDELL developed the new TITANAL .HF series.

The high frequency welded and drawn tubes of the TITANAL .HF series enable us to reduce the weight and outside diameter of our poles without sacrificing rigidity and maximum extended length of these new, expedition weight poles.

To compliment the new shaft, the new TITANAL .HF poles feature only the most modern KOMPERDELL components such as EVA Contourgrips, neoprene padded straps and our ultralite Vibra Stop shock absorbing system. These features characterize our new TITANAL .HF series – the poles for the 21st century.



AIRSHOCK™ - SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM


KOMPERDELL’S ultra light cushioning system stands for soft, progressive suspension and functions the same for light or strong impacts: the heavier the shock, the stronger the cushioning. With the AIRSHOCK TM – system, the degree of cushioning can be adapted individually for the first time. FULLY ADJUSTABLE – the strength of the spring can be adapted to the weight and preferences of the user by a special tool.

LIGHT for: ladies, seniors, persons with problems of the joints STRONG for: extreme mountaineering, men

By the additional On-/Off mechanism the spring can be activated or totally closed.



VIBRA STOP SYSTEM


Vibrations are the main cause for fatigue. Our unique VIBRA STOP SYSTEM absorbs up to 98 % of vibrations when planting the pole. Your joints will be grateful for this cushioning effect.



ANTISHOCK ON/OFF SYSTEM






Our exclusive ANTISHOCK SYSTEM is a reliable cushioning system for trekking poles. The Antishock device clicks on for downhill cushioning-and locks to stabilize the pole to avoid wasting energy when climbing.

ON: When descending and planting the poles, activate Antishock to reduce the strain on your joints.

OFF: When ascending lock the antishock mechanism for an uphill boost.





VARIO BASKET SYSTEM


Summer- or winter pole? With our exklusive vario basket system we offer the perfect solution. The unqiue vario mechnism allows you to convert your KOMPERDELL pole into a summer or winter pole, or adjust it to various snow conditions.

KOMPERDELL offers the Vario Basket System for all trekking poles.



DUOLOCK™– ADJUSTING MECHANISM MADE OF CARBON


Secure and fast fixation! – One turn is enough. The unique KOMPERDELL adjusting mechanism guarantees up to 80 % more stability with the same holding strength. Two locks are stronger than one. – Unlike most conventional locking mechanisms which press their expander diagonally, with KOMPERDELL’S mechanism the expander is pressed totally parallel to the inside of the tube. The mechanism is temperature-proof, does not need maintenance and loss of the expander is impossible as it is firmly connected to the pole.
