Freeride 18 Ski Poles 2027

With a comfy dual injection rubber grip and a bombproof 18mm diameter aluminum shaft, the Freeride 18 is built to last. Listen, you can get some crazy bells and whistles on poles these days, all you really need is a comfy grip paired with durable aluminum. Keep things sturdy and simple — drop in with the Freeride 18. 18mm aluminum shaft, dual injection rubber grip, steel tip, 70mm Freeride + 95mm Powder basket system. 5 size options (110-130 cm), unisex, Khaki-Blue and Dark-Green-Grey colorways.

18mm Bombproof Aluminum Shaft
"A bombproof 18mm diameter aluminum shaft" — the 18mm diameter is thicker than the standard 16mm pole, making it the most durable option in the K2 line. "Built to last" — survives drops, crashes, ski-bag incidents, and the general rough-and-tumble of aggressive freeride skiing without bending or breaking.
Dual Injection Rubber Grip
"A comfy dual injection rubber grip" — the dual injection construction combines two rubber compounds for a soft, cushioned grip with a harder inner core for shape retention. Stays grippy in cold temps and absorbs shock on hard-snow pole plants better than hard plastic.
70mm Freeride + 95mm Powder Basket
Dual-basket system — the 70mm Freeride basket for hardpack and groomer days, the 95mm Powder basket for deep snow days. Two baskets in one pole means the Freeride 18 covers all conditions without needing to swap baskets between sessions.
Sturdy and Simple Design
"Keep things sturdy and simple" — the Freeride 18 is the no-frills pole for skiers who don't need all the bells and whistles. Thick shaft, comfy grip, durable basket system. "All you really need is a comfy grip paired with durable aluminum."

Storage
Store poles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a hot car where temperature swings can damage the grip and basket. A pole bag or wall rack in a climate-controlled space is ideal for long-term storage.
Grip Care
Wipe grips with a damp cloth to remove dirt and salt. Avoid petroleum-based cleaners that can degrade the rubber over time. The dual injection rubber grip is durable enough for years of regular use without replacement.
Tip & Basket Maintenance
Inspect steel tips before each season for bends or dulling. Replace the tip if it's lost its point or bent beyond use. Check that the 70mm and 95mm baskets are secure and not cracked; replace if any basket no longer grips the shaft firmly.
Strap Replacement
If the strap wears out or breaks, most aftermarket pole straps are compatible with the Freeride 18's standard grip. Standard strap width works for most replacement options. No special tools required for strap swaps.

The Freeride 18 runs in 5 size options from 110 to 130 cm — covering adult skiers from shorter to taller. The 18mm shaft diameter is the defining feature — "bombproof" durability for skiers who want a no-frills pole that just works. Most skiers order their standard ski pole size for the right balance of plant height and swing weight.

🔩 Component Breakdown
18mm Bombproof Aluminum Shaft
"A bombproof 18mm diameter aluminum shaft" — the 18mm diameter is thicker than the standard 16mm pole, making it the most durable option in the K2 line. "Built to last" — survives drops, crashes, ski-bag incidents, and the general rough-and-tumble of aggressive freeride skiing without bending or breaking.
Dual Injection Rubber Grip
"A comfy dual injection rubber grip" — the dual injection construction combines two rubber compounds for a soft, cushioned grip with a harder inner core for shape retention. Stays grippy in cold temps and absorbs shock on hard-snow pole plants better than hard plastic.
70mm Freeride + 95mm Powder Basket
Dual-basket system — the 70mm Freeride basket for hardpack and groomer days, the 95mm Powder basket for deep snow days. Two baskets in one pole means the Freeride 18 covers all conditions without needing to swap baskets between sessions.
Steel Tip
Hardened steel tip bites into hardpack, ice, and variable spring conditions without bending. Standard replacement thread pattern means you can swap tips on the mountain if one gets damaged — no special tools required for basic maintenance.
Sturdy and Simple Design
"Keep things sturdy and simple" — the Freeride 18 is the no-frills pole for skiers who don't need all the bells and whistles. Thick shaft, comfy grip, durable basket system. "All you really need is a comfy grip paired with durable aluminum."
18mm vs 16mm Shaft Diameter
The 18mm shaft is thicker than the standard 16mm — more durable but slightly heavier. Skiers who prioritize bombproof construction over minimal weight choose the 18mm. The trade-off is a few extra grams per pair, which is negligible for most skiers but matters for uphill touring and racing.
2 Colorways
Khaki-Blue and Dark-Green-Grey — two muted colorways that work for both men and women. The understated options match the "sturdy and simple" design philosophy — no loud graphics, just functional color.
Unisex Sizing
Unisex sizing covers men's and women's use, with 5 size options from 110 to 130 cm. The unisex grip diameter works for most hand sizes — riders with smaller or larger hands may want to consider aftermarket grips for the perfect fit.
