Swix Triac 1.0: Stiffer, Stronger and Lighter Than Any Nordic Pole Ever

The Swix Triac 1.0 debuted at the 2010 Olympic Games where athletes choosing Swix poles won 70% of all the Olympic Gold Medals.

• Petter Northug, Olympic quadruple medallist and 2009/2010 FIS Cross-Country World Cup Champion, states, “The Triac has increased my speed, improved my movement and has given me a totally new control of the pole swing.”

Five of seven U. S. Ski Team members and a majority of WorldCup competitors agree.

• Kris Freeman states, “It is so stiff none of my energy is lost.
• Kikkan Randall says, “It is so strong I don’t worry about breaking from sprint contact.”
• Simi Hamilton raves, “Its thumbstrap transfers my power without flex or hand strain.”
• Morgan Arritola claims, “The new baskets pack snow better in soft tracks.”
• Andy Newell states, “My turnover is faster because the swing weight is so light.”

The Triac Shaft – Triangular Shaft Delivers Minimum Weight and Maximum Stiffness. A triangle encircled by a circle has a smaller circumference than the circle but the same peak radius. Since shaft weight is greatly influenced by circumference and shaft stiffness is greatly influenced by peak radius, Triac’s triangular shaft sets the highest standard for both light-weight and stiffness.  As a matter of fact directional Ultra High Modulus Carbon Fiber strategically placed at the corners virtually eliminates any deflection in even the tallest poles sizes while simultaneously increasing shaft strength.
