Awarded by the IFSS at the legendary \"Trail 96\" sled dog fair in Germany for innovation and advancement in sled dog accessories, this sled set a new standard when it debuted in 1996 with its groundbreaking folding design and pull-line control system. Built for serious mushers and competitive sprint racers, the European Open delivers race-ready performance with a rugged, lightweight construction that holds up through demanding conditions. Every component - from the sandwich-style runners to the heavy-duty Cordura sled sack - is engineered to perform at the highest level. This is a sled that has earned its reputation on the trail, race after race, season after season.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIFSS Award-Winning Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recognized at \"Trail 96\" in Germany for innovation in sled dog accessories - a proven race-winning platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20+ Years of Proven Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built nearly unchanged for over two decades, a testament to its excellence in sprint racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolding Design \u0026amp; Pull-Line Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pioneering fold-up system and pull-line steering that was revolutionary when introduced and remains highly functional today.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSandwich-Style Runners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed with ABS sidewalls and GRP reinforcement for a strong, durable, and responsive ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7000 Rubber Runner Coverings:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-performance 7000 rubbers included on racing runners plus standard standing coverings for versatile use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Cordura Sled Sack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a rear snack pocket, left and right main zippers (upgraded to strongest zippers from season 2018\/19), and hidden ventilation mesh at the back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Steering \u0026amp; Braking System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes bracket brake and anchor holder for 2 anchors for confident, reliable control on the trail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weighs approximately 14 kg, keeping the sled nimble and fast for sprint competition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Color Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top part of the sled bag available in your choice of color from the Danler color collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2400mm length x 550mm width x 940mm height - purpose-built for sprint racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSled Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith Standard Runner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 1 pair of racing runners with 7000 rubber coverings and standard standing coverings.
