LEKI Announces New SS22 Offerings

With a brand relaunch for 2022, the majority of the collection gets a fresh, dynamic new look, and restructure to the range.

Cross Trail

Cross Trail Lite Carbon

Cross trail is LEKI’s newest sector, specifically designed for speed hiking. These high-end, cutting-edge poles are made for those that want to move fast in the great outdoors, and offer the ergonomic support needed. LEKI’s new Cross Trail Lite Carbon poles include the innovative Cross Shark grip, (with a removeable strap, similar to those found on LEKI’s trail running and Nordic walking poles) ideal for speed and comfort during fast mountain hikes. The Vario construction means the pole is quickly adjustable and Speed Lock 2 Plus provides fast secure adjustment.

Running

Ultra Trail FX.One Superlite

You can often see the flash of LEKI’s racing colours, yellow and red, whilst running in the mountains. Since the launch of LEKI’s first 100% trail running pole in 2014, the category has grown massively in popularity with racing products available for all seasons. New for SS22 is the Ultra Trail FX.One Superlite, a fixed length folding pole with a push-button locking system. LEKI’s Trail Shark Grip offers pure performance; it’s 30% lighter, making for race-optimised usability even in challenging conditions. The quick-release button for the strap offers fast and easy click-in and click-out. Maximum performance with minimal weight, will see this fast become a racer’s favourite.
