Source: blackdiamondequipment.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by trailrunnerstore.com. The Black Diamond official product page (SKU #BD11255440071101) confirms this exact model — "The Distance Carbon Z is our lightest Z-Pole with 100% carbon construction" — at a US MSRP of $219.95 USD for the pair, with 100% carbon fiber shafts, a lightweight EVA foam grip, three-section Z-pole "fixed length construction" (non-adjustable), and usable lengths of 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, and 130 cm. The Trail Runner Store retailer page corroborates the identical model and spec table but explicitly labels the weight column "Weight (Per Pair)" (105 cm = 256 g … 130 cm = 296 g), confirming Black Diamond discloses only PER-PAIR weight — so weightPerPoleGrams is left null rather than guessed, and packedLengthCm is null because the collapsed length varies by size (35–44 cm) with no single disclosed value. The retailer also documents the "single push-button release" Speed Cone deployment (supporting lockMechanism = push-button), and neither page lists any internal shock-absorbing spring, so antiShock = false.
