Featuring the Black Diamond Control Shock Technology (CST), the Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Shock Compact Trekking Poles have a progressive four-stage shock absorption system, handling light to medium strikes without the pogo effect you experience when using inferior shock systems and eliminating the click-clack sound which trekking along. Easily collapsible to just 24.5 inches, the Contour Elliptic Shock Compact Trekking Poles are ideal for the travelling adventurer as they fit easily inside a duffel bag or on the outside of your backpack when not in use. FlickLock adjustments make the Contour Elliptic Shock Pole solid on all types of terrain while dual-density grip tops, foam grip extensions, 360° Nubuck straps, Long Flex Tips and trekking baskets keep you comfortable as you long the miles.
Incorporating BD’s revolutionary shock-absorbing technology, the new Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Shock has, well, shocked the trekking pole world. Built using patent-pending Control Shock Technology (CST), the pole’s progressive four-stage shock absorption handles hard compression without bottoming out. The CST’s unrivaled dampness absorbs light and medium strikes without the ineffective pogo-ing rebound of inferior shock systems. The patent-pending external design maximizes pole collapsibility and is stealthy quiet, meaning no more “click, clack, click, clack” associated with other shock-absorbing trekking poles. Additionally, the elliptic shape of the pole provides twice the fore and aft stiffness of round-shafted poles. The Contour Elliptic Shocks also feature dual FlickLocks for solid and sure adjustments, dual-density grip tops, foam grip extensions, 360-degree Nubuck straps, Long Flex Tips and trekking baskets.
Incorporating Black Diamond's revolutionary Control Shock Technology (CST), this trekking pole's progressive four-stage shock absorption handles hard compression without bottoming out. Compacts down to a length of 24 inches for easy packing.
Trek through snow and over scree with ease when you hike with the Contour Elliptic Shock Compact trekking poles from Black Diamond. Be easy on your joints with the Control Shock Technology that absorbs shock in four stages while you keep a solid grip with the double FlickLocks.

Ultimate hiking poles | |
| Rating: | |
| I walk 10-12 miles per day and use my hiking poles every day for upper body workout. Black Diamond have the best, easiest adjustement hiking poles on the market. I climb 14ers in CO in the summer. Quick and frequent adjustment is a major advantage of Black Diamond poles. Two years ago, I made the mistake of buying a bargain price, lightweight, screw adjustment design hiking pole, which I've used for the past two years, but found length adjustment, while climbing about 15 CO 14ers, was a real pain. The longer secondary grip of these B-D poles is handy for a quick, short duration use for the uphill pole. The shock absorber on my eliptical poles is really well designed. It takes the beating out of hiking, compared to rigid poles. The Black Diamond Eliptical Shock absorber, extended handle pole with small attached snow/sand basket is my ultimate pole. I will use these for the rest of my daily walking and hiking career, (I've averaged 3300 miles per year for the past 4 years), which should be many thousands of miles of wear and tear. | |

| This is my second pair of BD poles. These folks make products that get better every year. These poles are very light, packable, and tough as nails. I will NEVER go back to "twist 'em" trekking poles now that I've tried BD's flip lock style. Fast, easy adjustments, no slip, easy to use while wearing gloves, and easy to clean and maintain. This model is good for four season use because all sections are flip lock, so there are no mechanisms to ice up or jam. Get some snow baskets, and you're ready for all terrain, all seasons. Your knees will thank you. | |
