Trekking pole Gabel FX-75 Snake Carbon 120 cm, carbon shaft, foldable

Gabel FX-75 Snake Carbon is a high-performance Nordic walking and trekking pole made from a single 16 mm carbon tube. Available in lengths from 100 to 130 cm (this listing: 120 cm), the FX-75 combines low weight (approximately 125 g) with reinforced Snake technology to reduce the risk of cracking. The pole includes a Dual Cork grip, NCS Comfort strap with quick-release button, a tungsten carbide tip for traction on varied terrain, and two Roaster Pad rubber covers to soften impact with the ground. Its construction and load rating (suitable for users up to about 95 kg) position it for frequent training and instructor-level use.

Advantages

The FX-75 offers a very lightweight carbon shaft that preserves strength through Snake reinforcement, providing durability during sustained use. The Dual Cork grip reduces hand sweating and maintains a stable hold, while the NCS Comfort strap and push-button release allow quick hand release without dismounting the pole. The tungsten carbide tip ensures reliable traction on diverse surfaces, and included Roaster Pad rubbers reduce noise and shock on hard ground. Foldable design improves transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Nordic walking and regular trekking sessions
• Athletes training more than three times per week
