Different Grips

What you want from a grip depends on what you want to ski. We offer different grips with dedicated features for different kinds of skiing. See all the details below!

ERGONOMIC REDSTER GRIP (2K)

An ergonomically shaped 2-component grip for a firm hold when skiing at high speeds. It comes with a screw for mounting a slalom guard.

ERGONOMIC AMT GRIP

An ergonomically shaped grip for all-mountain skiing. It comes in different sizes for male and female hands, with special ridges for improved grip.

FR GRIP / WRAPPED FR GRIP

A longer freeride - helping you climb and ski in tough terrain. On specific models the upper shaft of the pole comes wrapped in tape with a rubber top, creating a unique non-slip grip that is durable and comfortable.

ERGONOMIC BCT GRIP

An ergonomically-shaped, extended EVA touring grip for comfortably gripping the pole lower down when climbing.

ERGONOMIC JR GRIP

Our special grip designed for juniors: with an ergonomic shape for smaller hands, plus a special new elastic strap that’s easier to put on – and easier to take off after a fall.

Shaft Technologies

Ski-Binding screwdriver

Designed and developed with our freeski athlete Chris Benchetler, the Backland FR pole comes with a ski-binding screwdriver (9mm phillips/flat-head) inside the shaft! We’re particularly proud of this one.

Telescope

Our backcountry poles are telescopic – so you can shorten them to exactly the right level to match the gradient of your climb.

Shaft Materials

At Atomic we use a star system to help you select the right pole. Higher stars mean more durability and lower weight.

CARBON POLE TECHNOLOGY

HYBRID POLES
