About Madshus Nano Carbon Race 40 Pole: Carbon Race 40—This is a men’s version in a dark color and a women’s color in blue. You can remember that this goes with the boots and the skis that we’ve seen in the W9 Series of skis and boots. So same pole, 40% carbon, same handle in the grip, same strap that we’ve been looking at—heat moldable, and also very low swing weight by concentrating more of the weight in the upper part of the shaft. So the Carbon 40 Women’s. The Carbon 40 Men’s.
