Black Crows OXUS FREEBIRD Ski Touring Poles

Designed for ski touring and high-mountain excursions,the Black Crows Oxus Freebird is aimed at serious skiers who tackle steep and demanding terrain. This unisex ski pole stands out for its extra-long EVA foam grip and 7075 aluminum construction, designed to withstand tough conditions over time. Its design meets the specific needs of ski touring, where a versatile grip and durable materials make all the difference.

A long grip and an ergonomic wrist strap for ski touring

The 33 cm EVA foam grip is the central feature of the Oxus Freebird. This exceptional length allows you to adjust your grip depending on the terrain: high grip during traverses or ascents, low grip during technical descents. Paired with an ergonomic wrist strap inspired by a harness, it keeps the hand in place without restricting movement—a significant advantage during long mountain outings when fatigue sets in.

A 7075 aluminum tube built to withstand steep terrain

The Oxus Freebird’s shaft is made of 7075 aluminum, an alloy known for its high mechanical strength against impacts and repeated stress. With a diameter of 16 mm, it offers a good balance between stiffness and maneuverability. The tungsten carbide tip ensures reliable grip on hard snow, ice, and rock—conditions commonly encountered in high-mountain skiing. The flexible, all-terrain 90-mm basket rounds out the design, adapting equally well to fresh snow and packed surfaces.

A fixed-length pole designed for endurance

The Oxus Freebird is offered in a non-adjustable version, available in four lengths ranging from 115 to 130 cm. This deliberate design choice minimizes potential points of weakness and ensures direct, play-free force transmission. Weighing approximately 215 grams for the 115 cm length, it remains lightweight for a pole intended for the demanding demands of ski touring. All components are designed with long-term endurance in mind, whether in terms of material durability or comfort during extended mountain outings.
