Should You Get Poles Specifically for Roller Skiing?

Even though cross country poles and roller skiing poles share many of the same features, it is recommended to get specific roller ski poles. Poles made for roller skiing are made to absorb the impacts of hitting the hard asphalt. Ultimately, using the right poles for roller skiing will be more comfortable for you as a skier.

If used for roller skiing, cross country ski poles can get worn out earlier, so it is definitely an advantage to get poles that are specifically made for roller skiing.

If individual parts of your poles get broken, it is a good idea to look for some spare parts to breathe new life into them instead of buying a new set. This way you save money and limit your environmental footprint. It’s a win-win!

The grips are one of the very important aspects of poles for nordic sports in general. Having a strap and grip that suits your hand perfectly will help you achieve the most efficient energy transfer.

When you have found a perfect pair of Rollerski Poles, you should definitely look for a pair of roller ski gloves – you will find them in our Ski Gloves category.
