The Leki Makalu FX Carbon AS is a premium folding trekking pole for hikers who want maximum packability with added impact reduction for long descents and firmer trails. The Antishock version uses a Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) to reduce impact forces (approx. 40%), helping to relieve strain on muscles, tendons and joints during pole plants.
The Makalu FX Carbon trekking poles utilise an anatomically formed Aergon Air Grip, a hollow core grip technology which doesn't add undue weight while providing a large textured surface for you to hold. The pole's grip points are ergonomically focused for enhanced support and comfort in your hands and wrists. The shaft material is made from Carbon (PRC 1000) to provide a super stable, extremely robust and very durable trekking pole you can rely on. The ELD (External Locking Device) folding system deploys quickly with a push-button release, and Speed Lock 2 plus enables fast, secure length adjustment from 110-130cm. The trekking poles feature a Skin Strap 5.0, the latest generation of Leki's Skin series, combining a breathable, skin-friendly inner contact surface with refined adjustment geometry. Lastly, the poles feature the Trekking Basket 2.0 to provide effective protection against sinking in and compatibility with every Flextip. Finally, the addition of the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) damping system with DSS Tip absorbs vibrations, for 40% reduced impact force, for antishock comfort. This reduces strain on muscles and joints for comfort throughout long miles.
