Leki replacement tip 16 mm red — trekking pole accessory (MPN 880000106)

The Leki replacement tip 16 mm red is a spare accessory designed to restore traction and durability to compatible trekking and Nordic walking poles. Made for a 16 mm shaft diameter, this red tip replaces worn or damaged ends of the pole to improve contact with hard surfaces and extend the usable life of the pole. It is intended for users who need a simple, functional solution to maintain pole performance during walking, hiking and everyday outdoor use.

Advantages

This replacement tip provides renewed grip on pavement and compact ground while reducing metal-on-surface wear. Its 16 mm diameter ensures a secure fit on matching pole shafts, and the red color helps with quick visual identification. The tip is lightweight and easy to install, offering a cost-effective way to keep poles serviceable without replacing the whole shaft or pole.

Suitable for

• Replacing worn ends on trekking poles with 16 mm shaft diameter
• Nordic walking poles used on paved or compact surfaces
• Hikers and walkers who need to maintain traction and reduce noise on hard ground
• Carrying as a spare part for multi-day treks or travel

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 16 mm (designed to fit compatible pole shafts)
• Color: red
• Function: restores traction and protects original pole end from wear
• Material: wear-resistant polymer compound suitable for hard surfaces
• Weight: minimal — adds negligible weight to the pole

How to use

Remove the old, worn tip from the pole shaft by pulling it off or using light leverage if necessary. Align the replacement tip with the pole end and push it firmly until it is seated fully on the shaft. If required, apply a small amount of lubricant or warm the tip briefly to ease fitting, then allow it to cool and secure. Inspect the fit before use to ensure there is no excessive play and that the tip is centered and stable.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check the tip for uneven wear and replace it when the tread pattern or thickness is significantly reduced. Use this tip primarily on hard or compact surfaces; switch to steel carbide tips or specialized snow baskets when traversing ice, deep snow, or extremely abrasive terrain to avoid rapid degradation.
