X-Pole XPERT Pro

The XPERT Pro features a dual-function bearing system located at the bottom base that allows you to switch modes quickly without taking the pole down. You simply use the hex key provided by UK-based X-Pole to tighten or loosen the specific screws hidden in the base. This allows the pole to be locked rigid for static tricks or free-spinning for momentum-based routines.

The XPERT Pro uses a friction-mount system that requires direct, flush contact with both the ceiling and floor to remain safely stable. Textured ceilings like popcorn or stucco will prevent the rubber dome from gripping properly, leading to a dangerous risk of the pole collapsing. You must use a plywood mounting block or a specialized ceiling cup to create a smooth surface for the top dome.

The X-Pole XPERT Pro is rated to safely hold up to 250 lbs (about 113 kg) when properly installed under a solid ceiling joist. However, professional pole dancers often generate dynamic forces that briefly exceed their static body weight during drops and inversions. It is crucial to ensure the structure of the ceiling you mount it to is physically sound before attempting advanced acrobatics.

Yes, the X-Pole XPERT Pro is available in the global standard 45mm (1.75 inches) diameter, which is the required size for most pole fitness competitions worldwide. You can also find specific variations in 50mm, which is the traditional size historically used in studios for decades. The 45mm size is currently the most popular choice because it makes gripping the pole for advanced handholds much easier.
