LEKI Vertical K Carbon Trekking Poles - Lightweight 130 cm for Hiking & Trail Running

Meet the LEKI Vertical K Carbon trekking poles, designed for hikers and trail runners who value balance, responsiveness, and a lightweight feel on long days outdoors. Built with carbon fiber, these fixed-length poles offer rigidity without bulk, with a 130 cm configuration that suits a wide range of heights and stances.

Lightweight performance is at the core. Each pole weighs about 3.8 ounces, with a 14 mm diameter that contributes to a crisp, confident grip on uneven surfaces. The Speed basket and tip are tuned for confident contact from gravel to rocky trails, helping you maintain rhythm as you move.

Comfort and control

• Trail Shark Grip uses cork to create a natural, ergonomic hold that forms to your hand over miles of use.
• The Shark Frame System lets you detach the strap quickly, reducing bulk when you prefer more freedom or are carrying the poles.

Real-world use on trail running and hiking

Imagine a steep ascent where every step counts. The fixed length provides consistent support, while the ultralight carbon construction minimizes fatigue. On a fast descent, the secure grip and nimble feel help you stay balanced and confident in loose gravel.
