LEKI Makalu FX Carbon Adjustable Trekking Poles 110-130 cm – Ultralight & Collapsible

Meet the LEKI Makalu FX Carbon Adjustable Lightweight Walking Poles, crafted for trekkers who want a feather-light feel without compromising on control. These poles blend ultralight carbon with smart engineering, offering adjustable length and a compact three-piece collapse that helps you adapt to changing terrain and pace.

Ultra-light carbon for all-day comfort

Weighing around 8.9 ounces per pole, the Makalu FX delivers a crisp, rigid feel that helps you maintain your rhythm on long ascents or fast descents. The full-carbon construction combines strength with a light touch, so steadiness and responsiveness are possible on rocky, root-strewn, or forested trails.

• Ultralight weight supports reduced shoulder fatigue over extended hikes
• Rigid carbon shaft provides stable, planted steps on uneven ground

Adjustable, collapsible design for diverse adventures

Extendable from 110 cm to 130 cm with a single Speed Lock 2 Plus mechanism, the Makalu FX adapts to your height and terrain. When the trail calls for quick packing, the three 15.7-inch sections fold neatly for compact storage in a backpack or travel bag.

• Effortless length changes, even with gloves on
• Three-part collapse fits in tight spaces for travel or carry-ons

Grip you’ll want to hold onto on tricky terrain

The Aergon Air Grip with extended foam adds a soft, breathable feel and reaches down the pole for better leverage on technical climbs and switchbacks. A fixed strap helps keep the poles aligned with your hands for control and confidence.

• Ergonomic handling reduces hand fatigue during long ascents
• Extended foam offers comfortable grip reach on steep sections

Durable details inside and out

Beyond the core carbon shaft, the Makalu FX features an ELD folding system, a multi-diameter shaft (18/16/14/14/14 mm), and a short tip. These details contribute to dependable performance across varied weather and trail conditions.
