Leki Makalu Lite AS Compact, Pale Clay Light/White/Silver

Minimise joint fatigue and packing space during intensive alpine excursions with the Leki Makalu Lite AS Compact trekking poles. Specifically engineered for smaller hikers or weight-conscious backpackers who require enhanced joint relief, this streamlined three-section telescopic model integrates state-of-the-art shock absorption. Constructed from high-strength HTS 6.5 aluminium, the slimmed-down shaft profiles provide an ultra-responsive swing weight without compromising on rugged structural durability or load-bearing safety. It serves as the ultimate high-performance trail companion, offering premium ergonomic contact points and precise mechanical control for demanding days on the hill.

• Dynamic Suspension System (DSS): Built-in elastomer antishock technology dampens peak impact forces by up to 40%, significantly reducing strain on wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
• Weight-Optimised HTS 6.5 Aluminium: High-strength, heat-treated aluminium shafts utilise slimmed-down segment diameters (16, 14, and 12 mm) to cut carry weight to just 242 g per pole.
• Advanced Aergon Air Grip: Hollow-core design maximises lightness while providing wide, supportive surfaces and an 8-degree inclined angle for optimal wrist guidance.
• Fully Rubberised Grip Head: Extended rubber surface on the handle crown provides an absolute non-slip palm rest and maximum confidence during steep downhill descents.
• Integrated Grip Extension: Features an ergonomic 1K foam handle extension below the main head, allowing you to choke down on the shaft for immediate uphill control.
• Speed Lock Plus System: A secure, TÜV Süd-certified external lever clamp enables rapid, intuitive height configurations between 90 cm and 125 cm, even when operating with thick winter gloves.
• Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0: An ultra-lightweight, highly breathable safety wrist loop that adjusts continuously to ensure efficient energy transfer and minimise hand friction.
• Trekking 2.0 Mud Baskets: Compact, interchangeable baskets actively protect against sinking into soft ground, loose gravel, or deep mud, swapping easily by hand without tools.
• Robust DSS Carbide Tips: Specifically engineered to work with the suspension system, delivering precise pole placement and flawless traction on hard or compacted alpine trails.
• Compact Pack Profile: The three telescopic segments collapse down cleanly to a travel-friendly length of just 64 cm for easy attachment to your rucksack.
