The Leki Makalu Lite AS is a premium, lightweight trekking pole designed for hikers and backpackers seeking enhanced stability and joint protection on varied mountain terrain. Its primary benefit is the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS), which significantly reduces muscle and joint fatigue; however, users should be aware that the 90-125cm length range is specifically optimized for smaller to average-sized hikers.

Yes, but ensure you switch to larger snow baskets to prevent the poles from sinking into deep snow.
Yes, the carbide tips are replaceable once they have worn down from extended use on hard surfaces.
The AS model includes the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) to dampen impact, whereas standard poles are rigid.
The 125cm maximum length is generally recommended for users up to approximately 5'9" or 5'10". Taller individuals may prefer the standard 140cm versions.
No, lubrication is generally not required and can attract dirt; keeping them clean and dry is sufficient.
Adjust the tension screw on the Speed Lock Plus lever; open the lever, turn the screw clockwise a quarter turn, and re-test.
Clean the joints with fresh water to remove sand or debris, and ensure the pole is completely dry before storage.
To set up, simply open the Speed Lock Plus lever, slide the pole sections to your desired height, and close the lever until it clicks firmly into place. Ensure the tension screw on the lock is tight enough to hold the pole securely but not so tight that it prevents the lever from closing. Compatibility is high with standard trekking pole accessories, such as interchangeable baskets. To care for your poles, wipe the shafts down with a damp cloth after every hike to remove grit and salt. If the poles get wet, store them fully extended in a dry, ventilated area to ensure the internal mechanisms dry completely and prevent internal corrosion.
