The Swix Triac 5.0 is built for those who demand the best – the same pole used by the world’s elite. Its Aero-shaped carbon shaft delivers maximum power transfer and aerodynamics, while the new Force handle and TCS Racing Strap provide exceptional grip and responsiveness. With a Quick Release system and TBS basket technology, you’re always ready for optimal conditions. Triac poles are developed and optimized for maximum on-snow performance. Due to their lightweight, high-performance construction, they are not intended for roller skiing, where impacts from asphalt debris, curbs, stones, and other hard surfaces may increase the risk of damage. For roller skiing, we recommend Swix Roadline poles, specifically engineered to deliver the optimal balance of durability, performance, and reliability.
