LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite - 120 Carbon Trail Running Poles | Ultralight & Foldable

Overview

The LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite is the lightest carbon folding pole in LEKI's Trail Running lineup, weighing an impressive 131 g per pole. Designed for runners who prize minimal weight without losing control on mixed terrain, this pole blends advanced materials with thoughtful ergonomics to deliver a nimble, responsive feel on rugged paths.

Key design highlights include an ultralight grip with a rounded top and edgeless surface for comfortable transitions between grips, an extended foam grip offering multiple hand positions for climbs or traverses, and a push-button release that lets you deploy or collapse the pole into three sections. The high modular carbon provides stiffness for a brisk swing, while the lightweight trail running tip with a concave carbide insert delivers dependable grip on diverse surfaces.

Why it matters on the trail

On long ascents or fast descents, the ergonomic round-top grip and adjustable strap setup offer stable handling as terrain shifts. The foldable design keeps the pole compact enough to stow in a running belt or pack, helping you stay lean when terrain changes through the day.

In real-world use, you’ll encounter rooted singletrack, rocky sections, and loose dirt. The combination of ultra-light weight, multiple grip options, and precise pole placement supports confident pacing and fluid hand transitions, with no guarantee of specific outcomes—only the potential benefits of thoughtful design.

Practical use and maintenance

• Packability: folds into three sections, each under 16 inches, for quick stowage between miles or at checkpoints.
• Grip versatility: extended foam grip provides multiple grasp points for climbs, descents, and traverses.
• Terrain confidence: concave carbide tip offers grip across dry, damp, or loose surfaces.
• Durability: high modulus carbon balances stiffness with a lightweight profile for responsive handling.
