Mountain King SkyRunner Edge Trail Running Poles

Mountain King SkyRunner Edge Trail Running Poles Glove System

The Mountain King SkyRunner Edge Trail Running Poles are designed for trail and ultra-distance runners seeking low weight, immediate response and a secure grip. They are aimed at athletes tackling climbs, descents, rocky sections and technical trails.

Mountain King combines carbon construction, an ergonomic grip and an advanced Glove System. This gives runners pace, stability and improved power transfer with every pole plant.

Edge Clip Glove System for quick connection

The key advantage of the SkyRunner Edge is the Edge Clip Glove System. The system allows quick connection and release of the hand from the pole. This is particularly useful on technical trails, when runners need immediate use of their hands.

The glove strap fits securely around the hand and improves power transfer. This means that propulsion is not lost through the grip. With every step, the pole acts as a natural extension of the hand.

Carbon construction for low weight and response

The shaft uses RDC / 100% carbon fibre to provide very low weight and high stiffness. This is particularly important in trail running, where every gram counts over long distances.

The carbon structure delivers a direct feel at pole plant. At the same time, it helps runners maintain a consistent pace on climbs and technical sections. The result is more efficient movement and less unnecessary strain.

Stability on climbs, descents and technical terrain

The SkyRunner Edge provides meaningful support when the terrain becomes demanding. On long climbs, it allows better upper-body engagement. On descents, it adds points of support and improves control.

Using poles can reduce the load on the legs during long climbs and descents. It also helps runners maintain better posture as fatigue increases.

Ergonomic EVA grip and breathable glove strap

The EVA foam grip provides a comfortable feel and secure hold. The material supports control, even when hands sweat at race intensity.

The breathable glove strap fits like a second skin. It allows better ventilation and reduces discomfort during prolonged use. This is important in ultra running, where comfort can determine performance over the final kilometres.

Foldable design for race vest and quiver

The SkyRunner Edge features a foldable 3- or 4-section construction, depending on the version. This makes it easy to carry in a race vest or pole quiver. The 120 cm version folds to a very compact length of approximately 38 cm.

Runners can deploy it quickly when starting a long climb. They can also fold it away when the trail becomes faster or flatter.

Tungsten Carbide tip for traction

The tungsten carbide tip provides durability and effective traction on hard terrain. It helps the pole plant securely on rock, soil and mixed trail surfaces.

This provides better control at pole plant and reduces unwanted slipping. On technical sections, reliable ground contact makes a significant difference.
