Trekking Pole LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite

The LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite trekking pole is an ultralight, foldable pole engineered for trail running and fast mountain movement. At just 131 grams (measured at 120 cm) and folding down to 35 cm with a Push Button Release, it combines low weight with practical packability. The pole uses a folding carbon construction and an elongated thermo grip with a rounded head for multiple hand positions and reliable support on varied terrain.

Advantages

Extremely low weight and compact folding mechanism make the Neotrail FX.One Superlite convenient to carry during races or long approaches. The carbon tube construction provides springiness and strength while maintaining a minimal mass. The elongated Thermo grip with a rounded head enables different grip styles for uphill, downhill and varied trail conditions, and the Push Button Release lets you collapse or deploy the pole quickly.

Suitable for

• Trail running and skyrunning where low weight and compactness matter
• Fastpacking and ultralight hiking with frequent stowing of poles
• Mountain approaches or ridgelines requiring occasional pole use

When it may not be suitable

Because the pole is designed for extreme lightness, it may be less suitable for heavy load-bearing use such as carrying very heavy backpacks or for prolonged trekking on rocky, highly technical terrain where thicker, more robust shafts are preferred. Its folding mechanism and slim 1.2 cm tube diameter prioritize packability over maximum durability under heavy lateral stresses.

How to use

Extend the pole to the desired length and ensure the Push Button Release locks securely before use. Hold the elongated Thermo grip in a position comfortable for the terrain—higher for stability on ascents, lower or with a firmer hold for descents. When you need to stow the pole, press the Push Button Release and fold the sections together until compact; secure in your pack or attach to your vest. Check joints and locking points regularly to confirm proper engagement before and during activity.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: choose ultralight poles for speed-focused trail running rather than heavy-load trekking
• Length preference: maximum length 125 cm; verify suitability for your height and stride
• Durability vs. weight: carbon foldable shaft prioritizes lightness over maximum lateral robustness
• Packability: folded length 35 cm—confirm this fits your storage or vest attachment options

Usage recommendations

For trail running and fast approaches, use the LEKI Neotrail FX.One Superlite at its full extended length for optimal pole plant and propulsion; fold and secure the pole quickly with the Push Button Release when running technical sections where poles may snag. Regularly inspect the folding joints and grips for wear to maintain safe performance.
