The Trail Pro Shock by Black Diamond is a true all-rounder on the hiking trail. The pole has an integrated shock absorber that absorbs additional energy when walking. The trekking pole also has a dual-density grip attachment and a 360° padded strap strap for extra grip and safety, even in rough terrain. The non-slip foam handle extension is particularly practical for crossings on slopes. The plates of the stick are interchangeable and thus the trail is easily converted from summer to winter stick. Thanks to the FlickLock adjustment system, the trekking poles can be easily adjusted to the desired size. This also resists torsional loads, so that the stick does not push itself together unintentionally. Trail Trekking Poles - prepared for all eventualities.

Control Shock Technology

Offering damp and progressive 4-stage shock absorption, Control Shock Technology handles hard compression without bottoming out and controls rebound for a smooth and comfortable feel.

Dampeners beneath the grip provide progressive spring rates from light strikes to heavy downhill plants. Rebound control located within the grip prevents ineffective and annoying pogo-ing for a smooth and quiet feel.

Now that I have put some miles on these Black Diamond Trail Pro Shock Trekking Poles I can review them. They are a very nice balance between lightweight and sturdy, leaning more to the sturdy. They inspire confidence when I use them unlike some other poles I have used. The solid feel is helped by the metal flick locks, my favorite locking mechanism on any pole I have used. They adjust easily and stay secure. These poles have very comfortable foam grips and the padded straps are very comfortable as well. Once you adjust the straps they stay where you put them. I purchased the Black Diamond slip on rubber tips for when I am on hard surfaces. They should have come with a pair. The rubber tips make them more quiet, protect the surface your on, and reduce strike impact on hard surfaces. Aluminum poles vibrate more than Carbon fiber poles but the shock absorber cushions you well from that while at the same time being almost unnoticeable. I have had less expensive poles with springs inside them and really disliked them but this system works well while being unobtrusive. These are not cheap but the quality and the availability of spare flex tips and carbide tips ensure that your investment will be worthwhile.

The best pair of hiking poles I have ever used. Durable, comfortable, and easily adjustable. I use them outdoors, and indoors for support and handicapped walking when my back hurts and when I can hike the trails. Bought a pair of rubber tips and they are great on sand and indoors and on hard ground. I am very very happy with them for all occasions

For my first time hike I'm doing the Inca trail hike in 2016, and I wanted a pair of poles to train with until then. No way I was going to rent a pair when I got to Peru.

After reading and reading reviews I decided to pull the trigger on these BD pro shocks, and I'm glad I did. I have about 30 or so miles on these poles now. It was a short learning curve to establish a good rhythm on level ground, and once I got my uphill stride together, I was good to go…still working on downhill my pace, and control, but these sticks have already saved me 3 out of the 5 times I have stumbled, all of which were my fault…speed.

Only feel the shock absorbers occasionally. I have put a lot of weight on these poles, I can see them flex a bit, but I have had no issues with their resiliency, wish my 60+ year old knees were the same. The poles hold the length I have set, there has been no slippage with the clamps. Not yet sure how I feel about the way the tips attach to the poles, but for now they are not going to come loose. As they are required for the trek, I have also purchased the both the BD rubber tech tips, and the pole tip protectors.

With zero issues or complaints, I have no problem recommending these poles, totally worth the money.

Edit 2/8/16 The poles did work just as I hoped they would during the trek. Especially on the long downhills, they really gave my 60+ y/o knees much needed support. On this trip, I liked the BD rubber tech tips better. The tip protectors hung up in cracks more than a few times, the tech tips never did. Still 5 stars for me.

Light weight, collapses to be compact. Locking mechanism excellent and does not slip. The shock takes s fair amount of weight to compress so its not bouncy. Probably wastes a little energy going uphill as compress shock, but softens impact downhill. Rubber handles rubbed off black color on my palms by end of hike. Washed off easily so not s big deal but cork would be better. That was only reason for 4 vs 5 stars

I had a pair of Leki antishock poles with cork handles for 9 years, and they have been fantastic. When the twist lock cams started to wear out finally, I decided to try something different.
These poles were an excellent deal from Amazon at $99, and overall they seem to be excellent quality. I am quite happy with the swing locks, the weight, and the anti shock features. The only problem is that the grips just aren't comfortable like I am used to. I have tried to grit it out through several hikes, and on a 3-day backpacking trip I spent the last 2 dealing with a painful blister on one hand. I never had any issues remotely like this with my other pair. Not sure if I will just work on my calluses or switch to another model...

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Gear
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016

Quality gear and useful on the trail. I'd always thought trekking poles were a might dorky and just something to get in the way. As I've gotten older, I'd like to think I've gotten wiser, but this isn't what caused me to change my mind regarding the poles. It's more a case of body parts starting to show some wear and tear.

I do fine on level ground and climbing, but my knees are starting to talk to me on the descents. It has taken little practice for me to start using the poles rather naturally to take some of the stress off the knees as I go downhill. Must admit the poles also provide a boost on the level and when climbing. Work the poles hard and the upper body gets a great workout along with the legs.

The quality of the poles are first class and they look like they'll last a good, long time. They adjust quickly and easily. After reading reviews, I questioned whether the shock mechanism and related weight was a good idea. So glad I opted for the shock function. Really cushions the impact here in the rocky desert and if anyone thinks it makes the poles too heavy, they really need to spend some time in the gym.

El producto es lo que se anuncia. Es ligero, bonito pero no es precisamente barato.
Los cierres son de aluminio y hacen su función de forma excelente. Los escogí precisamente por eso porque había pedido otros de otra marca y la manera de bloquear el bastón no cumplía su cometido aún siendo nuevos. Me decidí por el prestigio de la marca y la verdad es que no me han decepcionado.
Las empuñaduras son muy cómodas y se adaptan bien a la mano, aunque por el precio se podrían haber puesto unas mejores (que no quiero decir con esto que las que lleva sean malas).

Non avendo mai provato dei bastoncini con l'antishock non saprei fare un confronto se questi vanno meglio o peggio di altri e se sono piu' leggeri usandoli li ho trovati leggeri .
Il sistema di bloccaggio è valido e semplice da usare quando li ho usati ho dovuto regolare la forza di chiusura della leva ,con l'apposita vite integrata , perchè a volte si sganciava durante l'utilizzo.
il punteggio riguarda anche il servizio amazon come sempre perfetto.
