Product description
Stable, lightweight and easy on the joints - the Makalu Lite AS from Leki
These trekking poles, with their cushioning Dynamic Suspension System, are reliable companions on tours in the mountains, as well as on various terrain. Their segments are made entirely from Aluminium (HTS 6.5) and combine high stability with a lightweight construction. Plus, the Speed Lock 2 plus adjustment system allows the length to be continuously adjusted to the terrain and/or user. Thanks to their telescopic three-segment construction, the poles can be reduced to a pack size of 67 cm and stowed away to save space.
Functional details for use on various terrain
In addition, the Aergon Air handle combines a lightweight design with a large surface area. The cavity technology supports an ergonomic hand position, while the fully rubberised grip head offers extra control when going downhill. A grip extension made from 1K Foam enables flexible hand positions when climbing uphill. With the Skin Strap 4.0, the strap can be seamlessly adjusted to ensure a secure hold. Last but not least, the DSS tips and Trekking 2.0 baskets provide reliable ground contact on gravel, forest paths or alpine trails.
So pack these poles and set off on your next trekking adventure.
