LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite Unisex Foldable Trekking Poles

The LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite is a high-performance, foldable trekking pole specifically engineered for trail running and fast-paced hiking. Designed with a focus on extreme weight reduction and efficiency, these unisex poles provide essential stability and support for athletes who need to move quickly across challenging terrains. The construction utilizes high-quality materials to ensure a balance between featherweight performance and structural integrity, making them a top-tier choice for competitive trail runners.

Advantages

The primary advantage of these poles is their exceptionally low weight, which minimizes fatigue during long-distance runs and rapid ascents. The integration of an elongated Thermo grip with a rounded head allows for versatile hand positioning, ensuring comfort and control regardless of the incline. Furthermore, the intuitive Push Button Release mechanism allows for rapid deployment and compact folding, enabling the poles to be stowed away quickly when not in use. Their carbon construction provides excellent springiness and vibration dampening, which helps maintain momentum on uneven surfaces.

Suitable for

• Trail running competitions
• Fast-paced hiking
• Rapid ascents where weight is critical
• Athletes requiring compact, portable support

When it may not be suitable

These poles are not intended for everyday training or heavy-duty trekking where maximum durability is prioritized over weight savings. Because they are optimized for competition, they require careful handling and are not suitable for use in exposed alpine terrain, on glaciers, or in deep snow where the risk of the tip becoming wedged is high.

Key specifications

• Weight: 124 g
• Folded length: 32 cm
• Maximum length: 110 cm
• Construction: Foldable
• Grip: Elongated Thermo grip
• Mechanism: Push Button Release

How to use

To deploy the poles, simply release the segments from their folded state and allow the internal tension cord to lock the sections into place. Ensure the Push Button mechanism is fully engaged before applying weight. When finished, press the release button to collapse the segments and fold the pole into its compact 32 cm configuration for easy storage in or on your running vest or pack.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the fixed length of 110 cm is appropriate for your height and stride.
• Assess if your primary activity is competitive trail running rather than general hiking.
• Ensure you are comfortable with the specialized handling required for ultra-lightweight gear.

Usage recommendations

Use these poles primarily on secured paths and trails. Avoid using them in technical alpine environments where a pole failure could lead to a fall or injury. Always inspect the locking mechanism before each use to ensure the segments are securely connected.
