Product Information

Full details

The Leki Makalu Walking Poles are designed for serious hikers and trekkers who require a blend of durability and comfort on varied terrain. These poles provide the key benefit of reduced impact on your joints and enhanced stability, thanks to their robust HTS 6.5 aluminium construction and ergonomic Aergon Air grips. A notable caveat for prospective users is that while the poles are lightweight and highly adjustable, they are fixed-style trekking poles rather than ultra-compact folding models, which may influence how they fit on or inside smaller hiking packs.

FAQs

What is the weight range of these poles?

The Leki Makalu poles are made from durable HTS 6.5 aluminium, balancing strength with a weight designed for long-distance comfort.

Can I replace the baskets?

Yes, the Trekking 2.0 baskets are removable and can be swapped for snow baskets if you plan to use the poles in winter conditions.

Are these poles suitable for tall hikers?

Yes, with a maximum length of 145 cm, these poles accommodate most taller hikers comfortably.

How do I maintain the grip?

Clean the rubberised Aergon Air grip with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and sweat buildup.

Are the tips replaceable?

The Flex Tips are designed for durability, but they can be replaced if they eventually wear down from significant use on abrasive rock.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections slip during use

Adjust the tension screw on the Speed Lock Plus mechanism by turning it clockwise until the lever closes with firm resistance.

Locking lever is difficult to open

Loosen the tension screw slightly by turning it counter-clockwise until the lever can be opened without excessive force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally durable HTS 6.5 aluminium construction
  • Ergonomic grip design reduces hand fatigue
  • Easy-to-use locking mechanism for fast adjustments
  • Versatile length range from 110 cm to 145 cm
  • Reliable traction on diverse terrain types

Cons

  • Not as compact as folding-style trekking poles
  • HTS 6.5 aluminium is heavier than premium carbon fiber alternatives
  • Requires manual adjustment for height changes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Leki Makalu poles, open the Speed Lock Plus lever, slide the sections to your desired height, and snap the lever back into place. Ensure the locking mechanism is firm; if the pole sections slip, adjust the tension screw on the side of the lock.

For care, always disassemble and dry the poles after hiking in wet or muddy conditions to prevent corrosion inside the tubes. Avoid using lubricants on the locking mechanism, as this can cause them to slip. If you notice debris trapped in the joints, rinse with fresh water and allow them to air dry completely before storing.
