Trekking pole ferrule Leki Tulejka SLS 16 mm blue — 16 mm replacement tip

Leki Tulejka SLS 16 mm blue is a 16 mm replacement ferrule designed for trekking and ski poles. This blue tip insert restores the pole's contact surface, protecting the pole end from wear and maintaining reliable grip on hard terrain and compact trails. It is made to fit poles that accept SLS-style 16 mm tips and provides a straightforward, serviceable way to extend pole life without changing pole shafts or handles.

Advantages

The replacement ferrule restores traction and protects the pole tip from abrasion, helping maintain consistent performance on rocky and paved surfaces. Its 16 mm SLS-compatible design enables a secure fit into compatible pole shafts. The compact shape and durable material reduce the need for frequent maintenance and offer a cost-effective alternative to replacing entire pole assemblies.

• Extending the service life of poles used for frequent outdoor activity

How to use

Remove the worn ferrule from the pole tip by pulling or carefully prying it off. Clean the pole end of dirt and debris, then press the Leki Tulejka SLS 16 mm blue firmly onto the pole shaft until it seats securely. Ensure the ferrule is fully inserted and aligned; a tight fit will prevent twisting and loss during use. If needed, warm the ferrule slightly (for example, with warm water) to ease installation and achieve a snug fit.

Usage recommendations

Check the ferrule regularly for wear and replace it when rounded edges or material loss reduce traction. Use the ferrule on compatible 16 mm SLS-style poles only; do not force the part onto incompatible shafts. Carry a spare ferrule for extended trips to maintain pole performance in varied terrain.
