Product Information

Full details

The Leki Ultra Trail FX One poles are designed for trail runners seeking lightweight, adaptive support over challenging terrain. Their primary benefit is the ultra-lightweight carbon construction combined with the innovative Trail Shark grip system for direct power transfer. A potential consideration is their fixed-length foldable design, which may not suit all adjustment preferences. Key features include a highly durable HRC max carbon shaft, ergonomic Trail Trigger Shark handles, a quick push-button folding system, and specialized trail running baskets and tips.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Trail Trigger Shark System?

The Trail Trigger Shark System is specifically designed for trail running, offering a glove-like fit that ensures excellent power transfer and stability. It allows for quick release when needed and secure attachment for efficient propulsion.

Can I adjust the length of these poles?

No, the Leki Ultra Trail FX One poles feature a fixed-length design. They are available in various lengths, so it's important to choose the correct length for your height and running style.

How do I determine the correct length for my poles?

A general guideline is to stand up straight with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle while holding the pole. The top of the handle should be roughly at hip height. For trail running, some prefer slightly longer poles for more assistance on climbs.

Are these poles suitable for Nordic walking or hiking?

While the lightweight carbon construction is versatile, these poles are specifically optimized for trail running with their unique grip system and basket/tip design. For dedicated Nordic walking or general hiking, Leki offers other models that may be more suitable.

How durable is the carbon construction?

The HRC max carbon construction is designed to be extremely lightweight yet highly durable and strong, providing excellent resilience for the demands of trail running. However, like all carbon products, they can be susceptible to damage from sharp impacts.

What is the folded size of the poles?

The poles fold down to a compact size of approximately 36 cm, making them easy to store in a backpack or running vest when not in use.

Can I use other types of gloves or straps with these poles?

These poles are designed to work with the Leki Trigger Shark System, which includes the mesh strap and compatible Trigger Shark gloves. Using non-compatible accessories may affect performance and safety.

Troubleshooting

Poles won't fold or unfold smoothly

Check the push-button mechanism for dirt or debris. Clean the area gently with a soft brush or cloth. Ensure the segments are properly aligned before attempting to fold or unfold.

Strap adjustment is difficult or feels insecure

Ensure the Velcro is clean and free of lint. Re-adjust the strap ensuring a firm but comfortable fit. If the Velcro is worn out, consider replacement straps if available.

Reduced grip or power transfer

Verify the Trigger Shark System is correctly engaged with the handle. Ensure your hand is properly positioned within the strap/glove for optimal contact. Clean the handle and strap area.

Squeaking or rattling noise during use

This could indicate loose components or debris within the pole sections. Ensure all pole sections are fully extended and locked. Check the basket and tip for secure attachment. If the noise persists, consult the manufacturer.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and strong carbon construction
  • Ergonomic and secure Trail Shark grip system

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These poles feature a fixed-length design and come pre-set. The primary setup involves adjusting the Trigger Shark Mesh Strap to fit your hand comfortably. To do this, slide your hand through the loop and adjust the Velcro closure for a snug, secure fit that allows for easy release.

Compatibility:

  • Grip System: The poles are designed with the proprietary Trigger Shark System. This allows for the use of compatible Trigger Shark gloves as an alternative to the mesh strap for a different feel and power transfer.
  • Terrain: Optimized for trail running, including mountain trails, forest paths, and uneven surfaces. The trail running baskets and tips are designed to perform best in these conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the poles down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Ensure the poles are dry before folding and storing them. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a protective bag (if provided) to prevent scratches.
  • Mechanism: Periodically check the push-button folding mechanism. Ensure it is free from debris and operates smoothly. A light application of silicone lubricant can help maintain functionality if needed. Do not force the buttons.
  • Shaft Inspection: Regularly inspect the carbon shafts for any signs of damage, such as cracks or deep gouges. If damage is found, the pole should be retired from use.
