Built for Strength and Versatility on the Trail
The Leki Makalu Cork FX TA Trekking Poles offer a dependable solution for hikers and backpackers who prioritize durability and lightweight design. Constructed from heat-treated HTS 6.5 aluminum, the shaft delivers long-lasting strength without adding unnecessary weight. These foldable trekking poles are adjustable between 110 - 130 cm, offering flexibility to suit varying terrain and personal height preferences.
Ergonomic Grip Designed for Long Distances
Equipped with the Aergon Air grip, these poles offer a balance of comfort and control during long days on the trail. The real cork grip conforms to your hand over time and provides natural breathability. An oversized rubberized top gives a supportive platform for palming during descents, reducing wrist fatigue. The extended foam grip offers additional surface area for steep climbs or traverses, while the Lock Security Skin Strap ensures a soft and breathable connection around the wrist.
Quick Adjustments and All-Condition Readiness
The Speed Lock Plus system allows rapid, tool-free adjustments to pole length even with gloves. Compared to earlier systems, this version is 27% smaller and 35% lighter, providing a sleek and efficient locking mechanism. For different trail conditions, the poles feature an interchangeable basket system, provided with both Trekking Basket 2.0 and Tour baskets that are ideal for snow or soft ground. The universal carbide flextip delivers a stable grip across rocky paths, dirt, or packed trails.
Trusted Performance in Every Season
Whether navigating steep alpine routes or trekking across snowy valleys, the Leki Makalu Cork FX TA adapts with ease. Its rugged construction, ergonomic grip design, and season-ready baskets make it an ideal choice for anyone who needs reliable trekking poles that support performance across changing environments. Foldable and adjustable, they pack easily into backpacks and perform equally well on long expeditions or weekend hikes.
