Running poles Leki Ultratrail FX.One Superlite – adjustable 125 cm, red/violet, trekking/running poles

Leki Ultratrail FX.One Superlite adjustable running poles (125 cm) are designed for trail running, fast hiking and mountain approaches where low weight and reliable support matter. The poles combine a superlite shaft with quick-adjust locking, ergonomic grips and integrated wrist straps to provide stability and efficient power transfer on uphill sections, controlled braking during descents and balanced support on mixed terrain. The red/violet finish is visible on trails while remaining unobtrusive in natural environments.

Advantages

These poles offer a lightweight construction that reduces arm fatigue during long runs and steep climbs. The quick-adjust locking lets you change length rapidly and securely to match varied terrain or pack them down for transport. Ergonomic grips and wrist straps improve pole control and reduce strain on hands and forearms, while the responsive shaft delivers reliable rebound and energy transfer without adding significant weight.

Suitable for

• Trail running on mountainous and hilly routes
• Fastpacking and long-distance mountain approaches
• Mixed-terrain hikes with frequent elevation changes
• Races or time-limited ascents where weight savings matter

When it may not be suitable

These poles are optimized for runners and fast hikers who need a low-weight, collapsible system; they may not be ideal for heavy-load backpacking where bulkier, stronger poles are preferred. They are also intended for users who are comfortable adjusting pole length and handling thinner, performance-oriented shafts rather than thicker trekking-specific models.

Key specifications

• Maximum assembled length: 125 cm (adjustable)
• Adjustable locking system: quick-adjust mechanism for secure length changes
• Grip type: ergonomic grip with integrated wrist strap for control
• Shaft construction: superlite shaft tuned for minimal weight and responsive support
• Color: red/violet finish

How to use

Set the pole length with the quick-adjust locking to match your stride and the steepness of the terrain—shorter for descents and longer for ascents. Secure the lock and test the joint before full use. Hold the ergonomic grip and slip your hand into the wrist strap to transfer force efficiently without gripping too tightly; use a natural pole plant rhythm that complements your running cadence. Collapse the poles using the quick-adjust system for compact storage or transport when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended activity: suited to trail running and fast hiking rather than heavy-load backpacking
• Required length: confirm that 125 cm maximum suits your height and preferred pole length
• Durability vs. weight: superlite shafts favor lower weight over extreme strength

Usage recommendations

For best performance, practice adjusting the quick-lock and using the wrist straps before long outings. Regularly check the locking mechanism and shaft condition after rough terrain or prolonged use, and clean contact points to maintain secure adjustment and long service life.
