FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Trigger Shark 2.0 system?
The Trigger Shark 2.0 system allows for extremely fast click-in and click-out of the pole, making it easy to detach and reattach the strap without removing your glove or adjusting fasteners.
Can I adjust the length of these poles?
No, the LEKI Flash Carbon poles are a fixed-length design. You must choose the specific length that corresponds to your height for optimal use.
How do I determine the correct length for my poles?
For Nordic walking, stand with your elbow at a 90-degree angle when holding the grip. The pole tip should be on the ground near your foot. Alternatively, use the formula: your height (cm) x 0.68.
What type of terrain are these poles best suited for?
These poles are ideal for Nordic walking on various terrains including packed trails, gravel paths, and moderate inclines due to the Speed Tip's efficient energy transfer.
How much do the LEKI Flash Carbon poles weigh?
The LEKI Flash Carbon poles weigh less than 170 grams per pair, making them exceptionally light.
What is the warranty period for these poles?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the manufacturer's official documentation or retailer for warranty details.
Can these poles be used for cross-country skiing?
While they are designed for Nordic walking, their lightweight carbon construction and efficient design could potentially be used for light cross-country skiing, but they are not specifically optimized for that sport.
Troubleshooting
Hand strap feels loose or uncomfortable
Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener on the anatomically cut hand strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is correctly threaded through the buckle.
Poles do not feel stable on the ground
Ensure the Speed Tip is clean and free from debris. On very slippery surfaces, consider using rubber walking feet (sold separately if not included) if appropriate for your terrain.
Grip feels slippery
The cork grip is designed to absorb moisture. If it feels excessively slippery, ensure your hands are dry. Clean the grips with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely.
