MASTER THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE LEKI MAKALU FX CARBON TREKKING POLES

The LEKI Makalu FX Carbon (SS26) is a premium folding trekking pole pair for trekking, hiking, hillwalking and multi-day backpacking. Built around a full Carbon (PRC 1000) shaft, it delivers a strong strength-to-weight balance for long days on the trail, while the compact five-section FX design folds down to 41 cm for easy pack carry and travel.

For comfort and control on steep ground, Makalu FX Carbon uses the Aergon Air grip, designed for ergonomic hand support and confident handling during climbs, traverses and descents. The Speed Lock 2 plus external lever enables fast, secure length adjustment from 110 to 130 cm, and the ELD folding system provides quick, reliable deployment when you need your poles in a hurry. Finished with Trekking 2.0 baskets and a Flex Tip Short (Carbide) tip, the SS26 Makalu FX Carbon is built for mixed terrain across year-round trekking conditions.

SS26 model update: this version is specified with Lock System Strap Skin 5.0, Matt Metallic Finish, and the SS26 styling package with a gold-brown anodized Speed Lock system, an all-black locking mechanism, and visible carbon lower sections.
