Leki pole tip sleeve 18 mm black — Leki Tulejka SLS 18 mm czarna (MPN 880718103)

Replacement SLS pole tip sleeve from Leki, 18 mm diameter in black, designed for compatible trekking and Nordic walking poles. This sleeve slips over the original carbide tip to protect it from abrasion on hard surfaces, improve traction on pavement and compacted trails, and reduce noise and vibration during use. The simple push-on design allows quick fitting and removal for maintenance or seasonal changes.

Advantages

The sleeve provides durable protection against wear, extending the service life of the underlying pole tip. Made to maintain a secure fit, it improves contact with hard ground while reducing slippage and scuffing. Its black color and compact profile preserve pole aesthetics and do not interfere with pole balance or handling.

Suitable for

• Trekking poles used on pavement, boardwalks and other hard surfaces
• Nordic walking poles for urban routes and mixed terrain
• Maintenance and repair tasks to replace worn or missing pole tip covers
• Reducing wear when storing or transporting poles with exposed carbide tips

Key specifications

• Inner opening diameter: 18 mm
• Color: black
• Material: abrasion-resistant rubber or elastomer
• Fit type: slip-on sleeve compatible with SLS-style pole tips
• Primary function: protection and improved grip on hard surfaces

How to use

Ensure the original pole tip is clean and free of debris before fitting the sleeve. Align the sleeve with the carbide tip and press firmly until it seats fully over the tip. To remove, grip the sleeve and pull it off with a steady motion; warmed sleeves may be easier to remove and reinstall. Regularly inspect the sleeve for excessive wear and replace it when the rubber profile becomes thin or the fit loosens.

Usage recommendations

Use the sleeve on hard surfaces such as asphalt or compact trail sections to reduce abrasion to the carbide tip. Avoid using a heavily worn sleeve on icy or extremely loose terrain where a metal tip is required for secure penetration. Store spare sleeves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve elasticity.
