LEKI Makalu FX.One Carbon Adjustable Lightweight Walking Poles for Trekking & Hiking - Black-Naturalcarbon-Orange - 125 cm

Meet the LEKI Makalu FX.One Carbon Trekking Poles

The Makalu FX.One are LEKI’s ultralight, fixed‑length folding poles designed for everyday hikes and travel-ready treks. Crafted from carbon, they deliver a featherweight feel without sacrificing stiffness, helping you maintain a steady rhythm on varied terrain. When the climb ends, they collapse neatly for fast packing or easy stowing in a travel bag.

Why carbon helps on the trail

Weighing about 7.5 ounces, the carbon shaft offers a crisp, responsive ride that can keep your shoulders relaxed on long days. The PRC 1000 carbon material is engineered for durability, giving you a confident feel on rocky switchbacks and forest paths alike.

Ultra-compact and travel-ready

Three 14.6-inch sections compress the poles into a compact bundle, simplifying storage in tight duffels or carry-on luggage. The fixed-length design provides consistent handling, while the folding system ensures you can stow them quickly after the descent.

Grip, control, and comfort on tough terrain

The Aergon Air Grip with Extension & Fixed Strap pairs a light, airy foam surface with extended grip reach for lower hand positioning on steep or technical ground. The ergonomic feel helps you maintain balance as you navigate loose gravel or rocky stairs.
