Designed specifically for mountain running and trail racing, carbon-fiber LEKI Vertical K poles employ performance straps and extended length grips but still weigh in at less than 10 ounces per pair!
Streamlined cork component grips employ LEKI’s Trigger Shark straps to deliver a connection point between your hands and the poles. This provides ergonomic performance, enhances agility, and effectively transfers power while in use. A security release system enables you to quickly connect and disconnect from the poles to change your grip position. If you prefer, you can remove the straps entirely and use the poles without them. An extended section of grip extends down the pole shafts so you can change up your grip if you encounter a steep slope or a side hill traverse.
Integrated sloped tips keep weight to a minimum while providing excellent traction. The housing of the tips also shaves ounces while delivering optimized swing weight.
NOTE: LEKI Vertical K trekking poles are NOT collapsible or height-adjustable. Sold in pairs, the poles are available in a wide array of fixed length options to accommodate trail runners of varying heights.
