Trekking pole Leki Ultratr FX.One Superlite foldable unisex, max length 105 cm, weight 137 g, tube Ø 1.2 cm

The Leki Ultratrail FX.One Superlite is a foldable, competition-oriented trekking pole designed for trail running and fast mountain use. With a maximum length of 105 cm and a total weight of 137 g, the pole combines a super-light carbon shaft with a compact folding design to allow quick stowage and easy transport during runs and hikes.

Advantages

The slim 14 mm carbon shaft is optimised for minimal weight while maintaining stability, and the Trail Shark grip-and-strap system is developed specifically for trail running. New air ducts in the grip reduce its weight by about 30% compared to the previous Shark system, and the Shark Frame strap mesh transfers energy directly to the pole centre. The slim Shark spine allows the strap loop to be clicked in place quickly and reliably.

Suitable for

• Trail running and skyrunning
• Fast-paced mountain hikes and long high-alpine runs
• Races and competition use where low weight and quick stowage are essential

When it may not be suitable

The Ultratrail FX.One Superlite is optimised for minimal weight and speed; it may be less suitable for heavy-duty trekking, technical scrambling, or prolonged load-bearing where thicker, more robust poles are preferred. Users who need extensive adjustability beyond the fixed maximum length or prefer larger-diameter shafts for extra durability should consider more robust alternatives.

Key specifications

• Maximum length: 105 cm
• Weight: 137 g (per pole)
• Tube diameter (minimum): 1.2 cm
• Shaft material: high-end carbon (super-light)
• Grip system: Trail Shark grip with Shark Frame strap mesh
• Construction: foldable/compact design for storage and transport

How to use

Extend the pole to the required length and ensure the folding sections are securely locked before use. Place the hand into the Trail Shark strap and adjust the grip so the Shark Frame mesh sits comfortably and transfers push force to the shaft centre. Use the pole for rhythmic support during runs and hikes, stowing it in compact form when not needed. Regularly check connection points and the folding mechanism for wear or loosening.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: designed primarily for trail running and fast mountain use rather than heavy trekking
• Weight vs. durability: very light carbon construction sacrifices some robustness compared with thicker poles
• Length requirement: maximum length 105 cm—ensure this fits your preferred pole length
• Foldable design: convenient for stowage but inspect folding mechanism for your needs

Usage recommendations

For efficient trail running, set the pole length so your elbow is at approximately a 90° angle while planted. Use the Trail Shark strap to transfer power directly to the shaft centre and fold the pole when descending steep sections or when packing into a vest or pack.
