ISPO Award Winner 2024: Big Art Series by Komperdell

Komperdell’s Big Art Series represents a bold leap forward in freeride pole design. Depending on the model, equipped with a lightweight carbon or aluminum shaft and a diameter of up to 22mm, the pole offers unmatched durability and stability for off-piste enthusiasts. Its innovative design, tested extensively by professional athletes, ensures optimal performance for freeriders tackling challenging terrain. Beyond its technical capabilities, the Big Art Series stands out with customizable grip tapes, enabling users to personalize their poles and express their unique style. Whether you're carving lines through powder or navigating steep descents, this combination of form and function is designed to exceed expectations. 

The pole’s standout features don’t stop at its design. With its easy sidewinder strap system, the strap can easily be removed and stowed away for the descent, making on-the-go adjustments seamless and therefore enhancing convenience on the slopes. According to Thomas Roiser, CEO of Komperdell, this ISPO Award-winning product is part of a broader effort to innovate in both performance and aesthetics: “This year, we’re launching a firework of innovations! Experience a year full of new products that will excite you. That’s why we are proud that two of our latest developments in poles and protectors have been honoured with this year’s ISPO Award.” 

The Big Art Series isn’t just built for performance—it’s tailored to meet the diverse needs of freeriders and retailers alike. For end consumers, its standout combination of robustness and light weight provides the ideal companion for demanding off-piste activities. The customizable tapes offer freeriders the chance to create a one-of-a-kind look, setting their gear apart on the slopes. This personal touch makes the Big Art Series much more than a functional tool—it’s a statement of individuality and style. 

Retailers, too, benefit from the pole’s versatile design. Instead of stocking multiple color models, stores can customize poles on-site, tailoring them to customers' preferences with various tape options. This not only reduces inventory requirements but also offers a more interactive and personalized shopping experience. Additionally, the pole’s bold 22mm diameter and sleek aesthetic make it a standout product that naturally draws attention on the shelf, boosting its appeal and marketability. 

The Big Art Series aligns with Komperdell’s sustainability commitment. Manufactured in Austria using a zero-waste process, these poles are a testament to responsible production. All materials are recycled on-site, contributing to an eco-friendly approach that matches the adventurous spirit of freeriders with a dedication to preserving the natural environments they love to explore. 

Komperdell’s Big Art Series sets a new benchmark for freeride poles by blending innovative engineering, athlete-driven design, and sustainable practices. It’s more than a tool for the slopes—it’s a platform for creativity and performance. Whether you’re a retailer looking to offer an eye-catching, customizable product or a freerider seeking durability and individuality, the Big Art Series delivers on every front. Experience the freedom to draw your own lines—both in the snow and in style.
