Ultralight poles with on-the-go adjustment for big mountain days
Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or a committed hiker looking to up your pace, any decent set of poles can help you go faster, further and longer on your mountain challenges and adventures. But to truly maximise performance, you need an elite-level pole of superlative quality. The Cross Trail Carbon is a carbon-fibre, telescopic trekking pole with generous length adjustment from 100 to 135cm, equipped with Leki’s newly developed Cross Shark grip. The system offers superb cadence control and power transmission combined with the support of an ergonomic hiking grip for comfort during downhill sections. The strap, made from highly breathable, lightweight mesh, features a wide support area for an ergonomic, secure fit, while the sweat absorbing extended grip enables you to choke down on steeper ascents. The pole is also equipped with Vario on-the-move adjustment via the Speed Lock 2 lever mechanism for reliable support and rock-solid holding power. For dynamic, speed-oriented movement in the mountains, these poles are the perfect choice
