LEKI Ultratrail FX 1 Superlite Trekking Poles Red/Black, 110

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These are the lightest poles I’ve ever used—perfect for race day or big vert training. The Trail Shark grip system is brilliant; I can clip in and out on the move, and the mesh strap keeps everything breathable and secure. They’re insanely stiff for their weight and pack down small enough to fit in my running vest."" The LEKI Ultratrail FX 1 Superlite Trekking Poles are pure performance distilled into carbon and precision. Engineered for elite trail runners and fast-moving adventurers, these fixed-length, four-section poles deliver ultralight responsiveness without sacrificing control or durability. Each pole weighs under 5 ounces, making them some of the lightest trekking poles ever built—ideal for races, long training runs, and FKT pursuits where every gram counts. At the core of the Superlite’s performance lies LEKI’s Trail Shark system—the first grip-strap interface designed specifically for trail running. The minimalist design features 30% reduced grip weight, while the oversized Shark Frame Strap Mesh locks the hand into position for flawless power transfer and control. A small nose below the grip adds an alternate hand position for steep climbs or fast technical descents. The push-button folding mechanism collapses the pole quickly for easy storage in a running belt or pack, while the HRC Max carbon construction delivers exceptional stiffness and reliability in demanding mountain terrain. With carbide Trail Running Tips for secure traction and a Trail Running Basket for versatility, the Ultratrail FX 1 Superlite is built for runners who live for efficiency, precision, and speed."
