From Backcountry.com:
"Black Diamond pulled out all the stops to make the Contour Elliptic Shock Trekking Poles incredibly comfortable to use when you hit the trail. A shock absorber eases abuse on your arms, and the Elliptic Trekking Poles include forward-leaning ergonomic grips to ease wrist strain. Oval shafts decrease flexing and increase durability. These plush trekking poles even come with dual-density padded straps to cradle your wrists while you hike. Black Diamond added their FlickLock adjustment system to fluid, dependable length changes.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Incorporating BD's revolutionary shock-absorbing technology, the new Contour Elliptic Shock has, well, shocked the trekking pole world. Built using patent-pending Control Shock Technology, (CST), the pole's progressive four-stage shock absorption handles hard compression without bottoming out. The CST's unrivaled dampness absorbs light and medium strikes without the ineffective pogo-ing rebound of inferior shock systems. The patent-pending external design maximizes pole collapsibility and is stealthy quiet, meaning no more, click, clack, click, clack, associated with other shock-absorbing trekking poles. Additionally, the elliptic shape of the pole provides twice the fore and aft stiffness of round-shafted poles. The Contour Elliptic Shocks also feature dual FlickLocks for solid and sure adjustments, dual-density grip tops, foam grip extensions, 360-degree Nubuck straps, Long Flex Tips and trekking baskets. It also comes in a Compact model, which is a shorter, 125 cm version with reduced grip size for smaller hands."
