AONIJIE Launches Summit Nova Women’s Trail Running Poles Globally: Instant Deploy System, Full Carbon Shaft, From 115g — New Member Joins Summit Pole Family

On August 24, 2026, AONIJIE, a professional Chinese Trail Running gear brand, hosted the launch event of itsSummit Nova Women’s Trail Running Poles in Chamonix, France, under the theme Summit · Radiance. As the latest addition to the Summit series, the new model inherits the line’s high-performance DNA and is engineered exclusively for the unique needs of female trail runners and lightweight gear enthusiasts.

Built on Runner Insights: The Summit Series Legacy

Founded in 2011, AONIJIE specializes in the R&D, manufacturing and distribution of trail running equipment. In 2025, the brand became an Official Partner of the UTMB World Series, with products available in 94 countries and regions worldwide.

Xu Zhihui, Founder of AONIJIE, took the stage to walk through the evolution of the Summit pole lineup:

• Summit Trail Running Poles: Exceptional load-bearing capacity
• Summit Pro Trail Running Poles: Kevlar-reinforced construction, starting at 95g per pole, with superior toughness
• Summit Ultra Trail Running Poles: T1000 carbon fiber shaft, ultra-light 89g build, finished with fluorescent coating for long-distance night trail adventures

The newly unveiled Summit Nova Women’s Poles are a brand-new iteration built on the series’ proven technological foundation, systematically redesigned to match the ergonomics and real-world usage scenarios of female runners.

Female Runner-Centric: Innovation Driven by Real-World Pain Points

Xu Zhihui shared findings from the “Find AONIJIE Women” survey, which collected feedback from over 1,000 runners. Common pain points identified include stiff locking mechanisms that require excessive force, drawstrings that slap the back of the hand, and cumbersome storage. These firsthand insights directly guided the technical development of the Summit Nova.

Three core technologies define the new product:

• Instant deploy & fold system: Locks with a single pull, folds with a single press
• T800 full carbon shaft: 12.2mm tube diameter paired with 1.0mm high-strength wall thickness, combined with 3K carbon fabric connectors for outstanding rigidity and fracture resistance
• Featherweight build starting at 115g: The 105cm model weighs approximately 115g per pole, available in a dynamic mountain-inspired color palette

Global Ambassador Announced: Chen Lin Signing Ceremony

At the launch, AONIJIE officially named Chen Lin, a top elite Chinese female trail runner, as the Global Ambassador for the AONIJIE Summit Trail Running Pole Collection.

Chen shared her hands-on field testing experience across mountain terrains, validating the real-world performance of the Summit series from multiple dimensions.

Following the announcement, Xu Zhihui and Chen Lin held the official signing ceremony. Both signed a pair of Summit Nova Women’s Poles as a memento, symbolizing the brand and athlete’s shared journey forward, united by premium performance gear.

From user pain-point research and technical implementation to professional athlete field validation, AONIJIE remains committed to advancing the outdoor niche segment with genuine user needs at its core. Moving forward, the brand will continue to refine its products and deliver more tailored, professional gear solutions for mountain and trail enthusiasts worldwide.
