From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe (Fall 2009) The redesigned Air Tech Racing by Grivel is the lightest forged steel ice axe in the world. The robust T-rated head is the same as used on Air Tech and Air Tech Evo but mated to a lighter, B-rated shaft. It is our experience that the mountains often put up more resistance than anticipated; the Air Tech Racing is for the climber that wants the lightest possible tool without sacrificing the strength and performance necessary to address unexpected challenges. The light alloy shaft features a gentle curve and is now is finished with a sharp, ChroMoly steel spike. Specs & Tech: Blade: classic, positive Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: hot-forged head CE - Shaft Resistance: 270 kg B"

From US Outdoor Store:

The shaft resists 280kg when tested according to the UIAA methods, and is finished with a new asymmetrical steel spike. Air Tech Racing is for people who want the lightest possible tool but are not willing to sacrifice the strength and durability of a genuine, forged Chromolly steel head. S.A. shaft, also available with Slider, the new hand rest that slides to the top of the shaft when sunk in snow or to the bottom to support hand in traction.Features:Chromolly steelHot forgedClassical positive bladeShovelCE Shaft resistence 280 kgWeight - 400g (14.1ozs)"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Grivel Air Tech Racing Ice Axe is ideal for mountaineers searching for the lightest possible tool without sacrificing the strength and durability of a genuine, hot-forged steel head. The Air Tech Racing Ice Axe weighs only 14.1oz and is still durable enough to take the abuse that alpine climbing and mountaineering dishes out. Its hot-forges pick and adze take a beating that would reduce most lightweight ice axes to scrap metal. Updated with a slightly curved shaft, the Air Tech Racing Ice Axe is now easier to use for self arrest and clears ice bulges better."

From Campmor:
"The Grivel Air Tech Racing is for the mountaineer that wants the lightest possible tool without sacrificing the strength and performance necessary to address unexpected challenges. The Head is forged from ChroMoly steel for both light weight and excellent strength. The shaft has a gentle curve which does not interfere with the ability to plunge the tool. Weights: 53cm: 14.75oz (418g) 58cm: 15.25oz (432g) 66cm: 15.9 oz (452g) 74cm: 16.75oz (474g)."
