2023-2024 Featured brands and line-up topics
"Free FAST-α", "The Fleet" and "BUMP DIVER" have undergone graphic changes!
SINANO has a strong presence in alpine racing and basic skiing. In the 2023-2024 season, the brand's flagship model "Free FAST-α", the easy-to-operate lightweight carbon model "The Fleet", and the carbon pole "BUMP DIVER" that is strong against bumpy slopes will undergo graphic changes.
Of the 2023-2024 models, SINANO's most "recommended" is the free FAST-α graphic model "Snow Lion". It is a special model with a lion graphic on the free FAST-α with the theme of "a lion's passion even in the cold".
2023-2024 BC Youth item "FAST BC Carbon"
In the world of freeskiing and freeriding, there are actually items for backcountry use, although they haven't reached that point yet, and two types will be developed in the 2023-2024 season. “FAST BC Carbon” and “BC Lite”.
"FAST BC Carbon" is a telescopic type pole that will continue to be used in the 2023-2024 season. 15,400 yen, which is said to be the cheapest in the industry for elastic carbon poles with snow baskets. This is because we want entry users to enjoy the goodness of the carbon pole by making it affordable.
The load capacity is 41.2 kg, which is quite strong and sturdy. The swing balance may feel a little heavy, but the T-shaped grip ensures stable kick turns, so even beginners who are unfamiliar with the backcountry can rest assured. The powder snow basket is large and the piercing is designed to be long, so it won't sink even in deep snow and is easy to hit.
The lightest "BC Lite" for minimalists
The BC Lite is the lightest for minimalists. By eliminating the length adjustment function and adopting a carbon shaft, the lightest weight of 210g (1 piece) is realized. It is a fixed type but fine diameter 10.5 carbon model, adopting a 44 grip that is easy for Japanese people to grasp. It is easy to use because it has a rubber grip even when traversing. The style of the strap is also very easy to put in and take out.
It is light and easy to handle, but the maximum load capacity is 67.9kgf. It is sturdy enough to withstand the load even in heavy equipment tours and scenes that involve overnight stays. Easy to use and great for minimalists. The basket also comes with an attached basket for snowy mountains. It is a continuation model for the second season, but this season, it has been changed to a color that is highly visible even in white snowy mountains and snowstorms.
