Leki says:
Conquer mountain trails with confidence using the LEKI Makalu Lite AS, your go-to companion for comfort, control, and stability. Weighing just 258 g, these lightweight aluminium trekking poles offer impressive performance without adding bulk to your pack.
Fitted with LEKI’s latest Aergon Air grip, the Makalu Lite AS is tailored for trekking. It features a hollow core construction that balances weight reduction with expansive support surfaces for enhanced handling. The fully rubberized grip head offers optimal control—especially useful during steep descents.
To protect your joints during long hikes, the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) is integrated above the tip, significantly absorbing impact and minimizing stress on your knees and ligaments.
NOTE: Always use poles that have DSS tips with attached baskets
The Speed Lock+ system allows for quick and precise adjustments, and its compact 67 cm pack size ensures you can stow these folding hiking poles with ease. Designed with an inclined grip angle, the Makalu Lite AS supports natural pole guidance, increasing safety and control on any terrain.
Whether you're tackling alpine paths or backcountry trails, these adjustable trekking poles deliver unmatched comfort, durability, and ergonomic design for hikers of all levels.
