Made per model, not one-size-fits-all
Every set is made against a specific Shimano model and length rather than a generic size, so each bung seats on the section it was made for. Order against the entry that matches your pole.
Shimano Pole Bungs
Shimano's return to the pole market brought the Aero Competition range, which they position across three tiers: the flagship Aero Pro, the versatile X7, and the X5, which Shimano describe as bringing the Pro's design features to a mid-range price with a more robust carbon construction. The range covers margin poles through to 16 m competition poles.
Fox Worx makes bungs for the Aero X5 at 11.5 m, 13 m and 16 m, the Aero X7 at 13 m and 16 m, the Aero Pro Competition at 13 m and 16 m, and the Aero Pro Margin at 11.5 m.

Why exact-model fit matters on Shimano poles
No adhesive needed
Because the fit is exact to each section, nothing needs gluing in. That also means a bung can be removed again without leaving residue on an expensive pole.
Numbered by section
Each bung carries an engraved number in its base so a set can be fitted in order. The fitting guide covers the full method.
Colours for Shimano poles
Every set comes in a subtle smoke grey or a range of striking colours chosen to complement your pole’s accent colours. Bright colours make section ends easy to locate; smoke keeps a low profile. See the full colour range.
